You get something on the CB, fine, have a ref clean it off.
But polishing 14 of them mid-run makes the racks open up like bags of spilt popcorn. Instead of the mountain getting steeper the higher you ascend, the more balls you run, and managing the stack requiring more care and skill, the balls open up with ease.
A ref is also useful. When you're shooting at lots and lots of balls... fouls and push shots can easily happen that cannot always be picked up on on video.
And then there is the issue discussed here not too long ago in the 14.1 forum about balls being racked high, being racked low, the rack being twisted this way or that to avoid a scratch or help the spread -- you think the rack can be manipulated at 9ball or 10ball -- try 14.1 to really see what can be done to help the shooter. It's another reason to have a ref/neutral racker taking part in any high run festivities.
Maybe all that is being taken care of. I dunno.
