Break & Runouts in One-Pocket & Bank-Pool

I saw and bet against Corey doing the 1 pocket, 5 rack challenge in front of me in PA, about 15-20 years ago. He came through town with Gabe. I went halve's with a buddy of mine. Corey didn't even have his stick, he was borrowing my buddy's 314. We lost, but it was worth the price. It was the most amazing pool I've ever seen. For the life of me I can't remember if it was BIH after the break or not. It must not have been, as the number we were betting on was 42 or thereabouts.

Before Corey came to town, we were doing this with a few of the local top players. Everyone thought it would be easy, but it was a total lock. One guy was about a 700 fargo speed. We gave him 25 as his number. He could not do it. We thought 40 was a good number for Corey. I remember one set, he needed 28 or 29 balls, and he only had two attempts left. He ran 14 and 15 and won.

Hey @cjr3559

absolutely correct - the app got a new image / brand to accompany for now being much more than just a tool to "Practice 14.1". Will make an official announcement in the original thread soon, as this comes with some cool new features, too! :cool:

As I see, you discovered some of them already: The "BilliardManager Pro" subscription which unlocks a couple of additional features like new workout formats, advanced workout configuration and addresses the most frequent request: an ad-free experience of the app.

Regarding the new One-Pocket match format: This format is special because you are tracking the actual balls made into your pocket. You can define yourself how many balls are required to win a game (defaults to the usual 8) and of course, how many games are required to win the whole match. The new "Bank-Pool" format works quite the same.

"Playing the ghost" is actually new, too, and finally gets rid of the odd "Partner" term when playing against someone else (including against yourself). "Playing the ghost" here means playing against yourself, so you can decide how to apply "the ghost" in practice. For example, you can either let him win immediately once you make an error or simply overtake his turn and play against yourself. This is why "Playing the ghost" is part of the new playing partner management which is also unlocked with the pro subscription.

So there is pretty much more behind the subscription than simply removing the ads. I wanted the ad-free experience to only be the "cherry on the cake" for the pro version ;) And of course it supports me maintaining and continue improving the app even more - which of course comes with more "cost" than just my leisure time.

As mentioned I will post an "official" announcements to the new app brand and features here on AZB, so stay tuned for more to come soon! :)

Enjoying the update.

I am finding the new time based workouts useful. Would it be possible in a future update to implement a pause feature and perhaps show a clock countdown with time remaining in the session?

Happy to hear you're enjoying it, thanks! :love:

Displaying the remaining time in time-based workouts was already on the list for a future update, and having a pause / resume option for the countdown makes totally sense for that, too! Thanks for the suggestions, will definitely have a look into that!
