I just can't get where you're coming from on this. I remembered a short time ago, that I was involved with something, had to do with Pool and Billiard Magazine, if I remember right. It had to do with something like Equal Offense and it was nation wide. I was the local/regional rep. I don't recall just how it went but I do remember that it died because the better players refused to participate. It had some kind of handicap that doesn't come to me at the moment but the good/better/pro players didn't like it because it gave them less chance to win, or some thing like that. In my experience, making the game easier, which is what you're referring to, does not make the game better or more popular. As I said before, if you were to poll the players, I'd say they were not interested in making the game "fair". If memory serves, {and it may not
} after Zuglan had Sigel run 150 and out on him, his next opponent was Ray Martin, who, after Mike broke again, ran something like 86. Zuglan then got out of his chair and ran 149. The game is what it is. It doesn't need to made "fair". It's a game of all around skill, and a little luck. And, sometimes. luck is what you make of it.
