Crazy question:
If you went 9-8 with someone, hypothetically speaking.......and the table is cleared with the score 8-7.......
Do you call that rack a draw and it doesn't count? Since neither player sank their needed amount?
Or does a "16th" ball spot up after the rack is completely cleared? Both men would need that ball and I assume the player who had finished clearing the table would continue play with his shot at it. With that in mind, a player would have to play some shape for the spotted ball.
Just never seen anyone play it like this, so I thought I'd ask.

What I normally see in such full rack ball count games:
Because 9-8 require 16 balls (one more than the normal 15 ball count) then the guy who has to go to 9 would put one coin on the table signifying that he "owes one." Once he makes a legal bank finishes his inning, he spots up the one ball and removes the coin.
In the crazy case that say the game is 11-9 (some funky spots happen), then I've seen the convention where the guy who needs to go to 11 puts three coins on his side and the guy who goes to 9 puts one coin on his own side.

I'd guess it's been around for a while in way or another.
It isn't necessarily a measure of a person, but of the strength of their conviction. If you honestly believe that you've got the advantage in something, you'd be much more willing to risk something on it.
