I've decided to add a rule to Rotation Continuous to prevent what could be a deceptive safety or intentional miss to give the player an advantage at the table.
The new rule is to "make the player shoot again". And this is almost self-explanatory.
When the shooter misses or fouls he can be made to shoot again at any time during the rack, including the break.
Say the player is out of line on one of his position shots, and the next ball in rotation is frozen to another, so that even with cbih his opponent will have no open shot.
This rule will allow his opponent to pass the shot back to the shooter.
For those of you unfamiliar with Rotation Continuous, here are the rules.
A preset number of points is played to, like 75 or 100.
1. All fifteen balls are racked with the one in front, 15 in the center and two and three on the other corners.
2. Breaker makes an offensive and hard break; four balls or more must hit a cushion or the break passes to his opponent.
3. Breaker has cue ball in hand on shot after the break if he makes a ball. If a ball is not made on the break opponent has cbih.
4. Balls are played in rotation with the shooter scoring one point per ball pocketed.
5. When shooter misses or fouls incoming player has cbih anywhere on the playing surface.
6. If shooter misses a ball or fouls, incoming player may force the shooter to "shoot again".
7. Rotation Continuous is an offensive game only. Safeties are not allowed.
