You should be able to pocket any ball during a pushout. Even the 9 ball. If your opponent doesn't like what shot you leave them they can choose to give the shot back. I've never heard of not being able to pocket the 1 ball.

Teaching old dog new tricks!!!

Teaching old dogs new tricks!

A few months back I was playing and running a event at one of the local bar. During the match this situation came up. I broke and nothing went. The income player call push and wanted to shoot the one ball straight in. My first thought when he asked, he couldn't do that because it voided the push and became a legal shot not a push (your playing 8-ball and call 2-ball but pocketing the 6-ball, you losing your turn). The foul accord when they called 'PUSH' then wanted to shot the 1-ball in. In turn switched the PUSH into a legal shot. If you make contact with the 1-ball only 3 things can happen. Pocketing the 1-ball, make a legal hit were cue ball or object must hit the rail or play safe. I made the decision if he or she calls push and pockets the 1-ball it was a foul and become ball in hand income player. The 1-ball or lowest number ball starts the game. In everything life, games, work etc. there's a start and a finish.... Tournament director can modify rules to alter something that he or she doesn't see fit. If this shot came up often I would have changed along time ago, but once in 20 plus years of playing! Giving you a better perspective that's 1 in every 80,000 games I have played.... I'm low balling that games played number...

Where I was wrong is how I changed it in the middle of a match. Should have thought it out better. Posted on our site for everyone to read and understand it.... My Bad!!! Live and learn...




Section 4:
Push Texas Out Express Official 9-Ball Rules 4.1: Push Out Option After the Break
(Also referred to as a Roll Out)

SECTION 4
4.1:(A) MODIFIED PUSH
Contacting the lowest numbered ball
The start of every 9-Ball game is done by pocketing the lowest number ball after the break.
If you call PUSH and hit the lowest numbered ball it voids the PUSH and the incoming player receives ball in hand because it turns the PUSH into a LEGAL SHOT. In any game of Pocket Billiards you can only call one shot at at time...



Section 1:
Object of the Game 1.1:
Object of the Game Nine-ball is played with a cue ball and nine numbered balls (1-9). The object of the game is to legally pocket the 9 ball. On each shot, the cue ball must first contact the lowest numbered object ball on the table. Any numbered ball pocketed as a result of a legal shot, whatever its number, permits the player to continue. A 9-ball legally pocketed at any time during the game results in a win for the player. A match ends when one of the players has won the required number of games. If a player fails to legally pocket a numbered ball, the incoming player must accept the positions of the cue ball and object ball positions on the table. If the outgoing player has fouled, the incoming player may place the cue ball (called "ball-in-hand") anywhere on the table (other than variations during the break). Numbered balls do not have to be pocketed in numerical order, provided the lowest numbered ball on the table is contacted first. There is no requirement that any shot or pocket be declared prior to shooting. Each player continues to play until he or she 1) fails to legally pocket a numbered ball, 2) fouls, or 3) wins the game!

Only if we need it

All the events I have ran finished in one day. I ask for the second as a needed bases. In time I will need the second day. But having 25 tables helps out a lot with the movement of matches...

What if you get a small amount of pro players and not enough to have a tourney with that amount , Will you allow them in the amateur side ? I would like to know the answer to this question before I travel all that way. I am not interested in spending that amount of money to play against guys that do this for a living. I love the game and play it for my form of entertainment and competition, I don't play to pay my gas and electric bills.

I heard this was going to be a great tournament. Who runs it ? Does the place have better food then the last time or should we eat before we get there ?
You can eat at the Farmer's Market next door. There is an Amish-run place that has decent food...and some of those Amish chicks are hot with their little bonnets and innocent smiles.

I know, I am a sick SOB...LOL

The food at the Green Room itself is not too bad either.

Needing Only 8

No pro's allowed in the amateur event. Would have better insight on what's happening in the Open side but waiting until the day of, for paying the entry fee can cost in dead end travels for them... The Amateur side takes care of itself.

Loye,
How many players must join the Amateur event for you to determine if you need to carry over to Sunday?

I am asking because I am leaving town on Sunday morning and don't want to forfeit if I am lucky enough to make it that far.
