I have watched the US open over the past few days and noticed the change from the rack being checked for tightness to the rack being checked for gaps by the non racking player. By doing this, is the non racking player imparting gap knowledge to the racking player, assuming the non racking player is unaware?
Accu Rak alters rack check

Thought these things were supposedly to eliminate gaps and garunteed rack tightness every rack? If that's not the case what's the point?
If the opponent can't check, what is to prevent the breaker from manipulating in their favor?
Yes, by rule the non racking player has the right to check the rack and if unsatisfied can ask for a rerack. Player may be checking for straightness, or anything else the breaking player may have done to give himself a advantage on the break.
Dont think they're checking for gaps.
