In case of missed called ball incoming player has the right to ask the opponent to play again from current position, and he has the right to push out.
Only full cue jump shots allowed.

Race to 15 frames, alternate break.
Based on the idea of call shot 9ball rules presented in a previous thread.

I have a couple complaints, Petros

I can’t watch the stream because I’m not a member of FaceBook...
....I’m pretty sure it’s a simple operation to open it up.
What possible advantage is it to insist that I become vulnerable to Zuckerberg’s
machinations to watch.

I would love to watch these players....I like how Kazakis plays.

...and I think ‘call-shot with the option’ is demeaning to the game of pool....
...I feel people that think barring cleverness like 2-3 and 4 way shots...
...are a little bit malakas.

Call shot 10-ball is a great game, as it eliminates almost all of the luck factor of missing a shot and by complete chance ending up with a lucky leave on your opponent. I know well what a 2-way shot is, particularly on a tough 9-ball shot, but if you don't think you can make the shot, call and execute a safety.

However, I do not understand his saying that the incoming player has a right to push out when his opponent has missed a called shot. Having the option to either take the shot or pass it back is plenty good enough, without making it more complicated.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
Sorry about the limits of the procedure, can’t do anything about it right now, will keep it in mind for next time.
Like I mentioned in my previous relative thread, this kind of rules is just used in order to have an interesting test.
In 10ball between good players they don’t play a big role already.
