Content for the old 9-ball rules--Push out--ball in the Kitchen

[336Robin]

I grew up playing 9-ball by the old rules but played mostly 8-ball for a long time, then the rules
had changed when I was exposed to Pool Leagues.

Does anyone know of any video content of Pool matches played under the old rules?

If so please post links.

Haven't watched this one yet but it does open with a squabble about The Rules. Definitely Old School. Calling the shot in 9 ball is required by Willie's rules.

Re: Fats vs Willie - Those were gaff rules, not used in real play etc…. I can’t think of content off hand, I doubt there is much if any push out. Some old matches spot balls made on the break after a scratch and/ or have cue ball in kitchen after a scratch on the break. Maybe search for the oldes Sands Reno tournaments you can find. Try matches pre 1990 if you can. Not push out though.

Sure seems like there should be quite a few copies of old BCA rule books available. Bob Jewett always seems to have a lot of old pool books.

I have an old bca pool book somewhere around here. .
Found it 1980 is the year.

So in 1980 ball in hand after a foul was BCA rule. This rule book addresses
OPTIONAL "SHOOT OUT" RULES"
