Anyone ever see or play this game?
Rack the 7, 8, and 9-balls with the 7-ball in front. If the 7 goes on the break the player continues to shoot in rotation (8-ball next). If any other ball (8 or 9) goes on the break it gets spotted and then the player continues to shoot starting with the 7-ball. Best played with 4 - 8 players each putting a $1 or $2 in the pot each inning until there is a winner (least amount of shots to make all three balls in rotation). Not only is it a fun game and is a position drill but it helps your get outs in 9-ball on the last three balls. On a bar coin table you use any three balls and shoot them in rotation so you get 5 players shooting on each rack...more if someone is over the lowest score so far. He just stops and the 1 or 2 balls left can be re used. Johnnyt
 
I have not seen three ball played in rotation like this. I am thinking the reason why is players would start to "soft break" and get the gauranteed 4 rather than trying to get a three or better using a hail mary hard break.

Well, yes, but as always if there are already two players with 4s there is no point in tying them, so you go for the gusto.
