Actually what I am saying is there is a obvious imbalance if you can literally win every game and wind up losing the match. Now for fairness, the number of balls sunken is obviously important. But making the 9 is what the game has always been about. Sink the 9 and you win. Do this 6-7 games in a row and still lose the match in APA seems screwy.
I know the number of balls sunken counts but at least give more weight to the points value of the 9 ball. The underlying premise of the game is sink the 9 ball……on the break, your last shot or your only shot but sink the 9 ball and win.
APA should increase the significance of sinking the 9 by assigning the 9 ball a higher value than a object ball and only doubling it from 1 point to 2 points doesn’t recognize the importance of making the 9 ball which is the basis of 9 ball.
It’s not straight pool, which is the toughest game to play, but it sure isn’t 9 ball either. Pool was never intended to be easy
and the way social pool leagues like APA do it really becomes way too easy when played on little tables….not my cup of tea,
