Dennis vs Chang
- Thread starter couldnthinkof01
- Start date
This is the final final session? There's also a third final session With Mocaibat.
Day
1. Race to 21 each day
surprising. do they play regular 10-ball or mandatory push out? hard to fade chang's break

This is another mandatory push format. Should be a battle. Dennis will need to stay on top of his game to hold Chang back.
I think they also limit the amount of jumps each player can execute per set.

Yes sir. 5 jumps per day/set.
should make it even. did they come up with this stuff just for chang? shane ran packs iirc
I was referring to the session with Biado which they said was the final Sharks thing while billing these last two matches. Seems like they're expanding to a regular action room though.

They’ve been using this format for the past couple of months at least. I believe I started seeing it right before Darren went over to play.
You mean the race to 63 or the mandatory push? I find that one slightly confusing if slightly more sophisticated. You must push out except you can also play a safety where the incoming player has no option - unless the ball gets pocketed or something.

I'm surprised by the current outcome. Chang needs to come out the gate guns a blazin' tomorrow, if he's to have a chance.
Tends to quell the stacks o' racks phobia. Originally I thought either player had to push and the next player always had the option but apparently you can also play a safety after the break. I like my original impression better. First shot after the break should always carry the option for the next player to decline.
As to the merits of the break, new break shots can be developed to address the new conditions. If you want to get anal about it, can now break to the competition's response style.
