I agree. IMO, spotting the ball should happen on the spot. That's why they call it the spot.

Ken seemed real certain when he corrected the placement of the 'spotted' 9 ball that it belonged where the 1 would be racked so I assume that since they moved the rack forward for this event that a spotted 9 ball will be placed where the 1 ball goes, spot or not.

Yeah, but without an actual spot, there's no good reference. I guess I'll ask him.

I checked the WPA rules and the US Open rules thread, and they all say the 9-ball is "respotted," not "put back where the 1-ball was." Of course, because anything other than putting it on the spot is ridiculous.

Want to introduce this concept of an SPR -- a player rating for an event

We will be sharing SPRs for US Open players when it's done.
