I also agree on the switch to 10-ball, but at a Pro level. I believe that the pro's should be playing 10-ball instead of 9-ball. Just about all the break issues are resolved by removing the corner balls.
As for the jump cues, I do not agree with using them. But in the case where a jump cue is allowed, jump cue specifications should be established. I believe that the WPBA has done that.
Years ago, I remember going to the PTBA Bay State Shootout in Massachusetts. Mike Sigel, who never believed in the jump cue, was given a steel rod with a rubber tip. The rod weighted close to 2 pounds. All you had to do was drop the rod onto the cue ball and the cue ball would go straight up about three feet. It was after this event that the PBTA added the no jump cue rule.
As for a standardize set of rules to be used, good luck. Every organization will find a reason to change the rules without waiting for some other organization to do it. This is why there is the Texas Express Rules, BCA (World Standardized) Rules, Pro Express Rules, Grady Rules and so on.
I run my Killer B's events under the Texas Express Rules. Those are the rules that I prefer due to their explicit nature. I don't force a break box rule and I don't allow jump cues.
