Heyball handicaps

[NathanDetroit]

YouTube has Pehlivanovic playing a junior at Heyball. Like his game so I click it on. His first break makes both second balls...and whitey.

Kid comes to the table, and pockets a solid. Referee say something to shooter, he points to a ball on the rail and ref removes it.

Last time I watched a handicapped heyball match, it was Tang, and her handicap was removing the last ball of her set.

Does anyone know if the difference is because the junior is a junior or he is male versus the "female" rule?

Probably only in their age group.

Later in the video, the junior breaks dry. Sanjin comes to the table, and pockets a solid. Ref stopped match so kid could pick which ball he wanted removed

Never seen that before

You mean first rather than last?

No, the player receiving the handicap has to select the ball to be removed while his opponent is at the table

Yeah rather than last.

Sounds like bar-rules Chinese style.

I know you watch the Chinese game. The change, if it is a change, will change things for female competitors.

in theory there's no disadvantage for women in pool except for the break. this handicap is after the break and makes no sense to me. let them break half a diamond closer instead

Very little. I find it to pretty boring to be honest.
