A great match to sweat last weekend at Chesters in OKC. Gabe Owns and James Walden played scotch doubles 10-ball against the kids (Chip Compton and Joey Gray). It was a race to 13 on a 7 foot diamond. The kids won 2 straight sets.

I'd like to know of a better duo than those guys in the entire country. Seriously they take people off and play jam up in tournaments, congrats to them. Hardly a coming out party for them hence them winning EVEN!

Two players per team...One player shoots one shot, then the other player shoots the next shot until one of them miss....Then the other team takes over and visa versa.

So, you have to set up your partner with good position.
This makes for a good game, especially when coaching is allowed.

Gmanpoke -- I would have liked to sweat that match...What poolroom did they play in?

Sunny , I'm startin' ta like ya. Keep askin' the questions.

Scotch doubles is a partners' game of pool, usually 8-ball but it could be any game, in which the partners alternate shots during their turn on the table.

It can be a lot of fun. The real pressure is not necessarily if you make your shot but if you leave good position on the next shot for your partner. It can be a real drag if your partner always makes his shot an then leaves you crappy position for your shot.

Not a dumb question. The game is not played everywhere but is catching on.
I think they even played scotch doubles one -pocket at Derby city this year.
