Yes, Fedor is amazing, and his performance in the events in which he enters is breathtaking. But his run of excellence is not the equal of Sanchez-Ruiz' run of gold at the 2022 US Open, gold at the 2022 World 8-ball and gold at the 2023 World Championship.
Like the rest of us, you are surely wondering who plays best among Ruiz, Filler and Gorst. Some feel Fedor is the best player in the world, but to validate it, he must prevail over fields that include all the stars of the game.
What a player!
FSR has been amazing as well. I wonder what would have happened if Gorst had been able to participate more frequently in 2022...
It’s a new year and the past is gone. I look forward to these two going toe to toe in many major tournaments moving forward.

Alrighty then, let's lock them up in a den with a 10-footer for a week and see who prevails!
On a side note, is there any agreement on who is really the best? Let's assume Filler or Gorst beat the good spirit out of the other two in such a contest (10 races to 120, 50 sets of race to 25, playing 15 ahead, you name it). And assume FSR is the one winning this and that, US Open, the Worlds, Masters and whatever. But he loses to either of the other two in such H2H.
So, who is the best then???
Never going to find out playing 9 or 10b.Alrighty then, let's lock them up in a den with a 10-footer for a week and see who prevails!

They need to use all 15 balls and no safes allowed- ball in hand when the other guy misses.

there would definitely be a case to be made for FSR since he's bringing it in the pressure of tournaments.
but are gorst, filler, svb better all-around than ruiz? and how does one weigh fringe games like banks and one pocket vs that 8-ball trophy? it's really tight between those guys. if i had to call i'd say filler.
15 balls check. But
Last ball No Count.
Safeties allowed, call pocket no "two ways" .
Must declare intention to get out and, on the first inning with an open shot or, all 15 balls are still in play. This affords the second player a chance to score an out and is consistent with the no count rule.
Failure to get out leaves a battle for the last ball which determines the subsequent break but no point for the set count.
OK great reference and that was funny af.
One internet point to you sir.
I don't know what you mean by 'no count' here as it usually refers to a minimum amount of success before the inning is considered successful...like in 14.1, a better player might play '17 no count', meaning unless he runs 17+ balls each inning, his inning's score is 0.
Your suggestion is far too complicated to use and people deserve to see how well these guys actually play, not a safety battle for the first 6 balls.
Whoever makes the last ball on the table scores the game win and continues shooting. Race to a set amount of games.
You ever seen anyone run two full racks? Gonna be more than a few damn!s.
There will even be some of those in a single b/run.
Damn. I'll click it based on THAT.
No count in this case would be all the way out per rack. 3 BnRs are about the norm for shortstops. Even I can do several throw 'em out shoot 'em ins so anyway no full runout, no point.
Doesn't have to be a bunch of nitty gambits either. With a ball in hand penalty, you can "Cap'n Hook" your way to a viable scoring runout. The game isn't complicated at all. It's just rotation without the points or predetermined money ball.
I don't think you know pool.
I know what works. It's the tired formulae that's clueless. You don't like innovation?
No, your suggestion that such a complicated and impossible to police ruleset and your subsequent posts show you don't know what you're talking about here.
What's complicated about 15 ball rotation, last ball, no points?
BnR is a point.
Full rack run is a point.
First declared and successful out is a point.
Everything else is for the next break only.
The captain hook ploys involve moving inopportunely situated balls either directly or by legal combinations and other secondary contacts. Ball in hand is big with a 15ball out.
And besides the idea was a 10 footer wasn't it? There is not _enough_ congestion on those.
