Bump.
I'm a couple of hours from Cape (in north central Arkansas) and never been there. I'd really like to go. Heard it's an extremely sporty area.

How does this get applied during gameplay exactly ?
Player A (Pro)
Player B (Novice)
Pro is spotting the Novice the 8 and the break.
So Novice breaks...
Play as normal until someone pots the 8.
If the novice potted the 8 - he wins the rack ? (Is this correct ?)
Thanx
Cheers.
