Any pro tourney's using this rule ?? I've watched a lot of 1P matches, never seen it, but then again, don't see lot's of balls dropping on the break either ??
Others have mentioned pro tournament were this rule has been used and I am aware of a few money matches where the players have agreed to it.
Personally I don't mind the traditional rule. However I have noted that more than a few of the matches where the rerack was in play... it was at the insistence of a better player giving up a significant spot.
