  • The Official One-Pocket rack is the Diamond Triangle Wood Rack.

  • Alternate break.
  • Cue ball fouls only.
  • 3 Foul Rule applies. Warning must be given when the player on 2 fouls approaches the table.
  • No jump cues allowed.
  • Must jump with your playing cue only.
  • A ball made in the breaker's pocket on the break does not count and results in a re-break.
  • There are no other options regardless of what else happens on the break shot.
  • The "base of the ball" determines it's playing legality. A ball 50/50 on the head string is playable.
  • Intentional fouls must be performed with a legal stroke. Failure to do so results in an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty at the discretion of the official.
  • Both players cannot have a negative score. For example, if the score is player A (-2) and player B (0).
  • Player B takes a foul. Instead of the score being A (-2) and B (-1), it becomes A (-1) and B (0).
  • An immediate loss of game occurs if a player has a negative score of 5 (-5).
  • Pocketing a hanging object ball and causing the cue ball or the hanging ball to fly off the table results in a foul.
  • The object ball stays down and the opponent has ball in hand behind the head string.

Glad the kick break is still allowed.

That was a great last rack between Alex and Dee. Dee should have shot that back cut on the 5. Guess the rest will be on PPV...

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.

Oh my goodness. This was an amazing set. So much to learn and the commentators were excellent. Really great strategy and shot selection discussion. This is one of those matches where you can learn so much. Excellent!

The final rack between Alex and Superman might've even topped his final rack with Adkins. Alex was ahead by 7-0 but then (barely) hooked himself trying for the final ball. And then all hell broke loose.

A great safety sequence in game two from the 50:20 mark until Alex makes a long rail bank at the 1:06:40 mark. Some One Pocket at it's best. Nice commentary as well.

Agreed. Should Dee have banked the 10 and run his cue ball down to the end rail at 51:20? That would be my choice. Great match!

Hard to do much with that shot jacked up over the balls. KISS! Nothing wrong with the shot he took, easy safety off the eleven. He could have also tickled the right side of the ten and gone up table to the end rail. Not hard to control that shot either. It would be pretty hard for Alex to shoot at the three or the six with the eight ball where it is. When in doubt put your opponent on the end rail! You can leave even him straight in on his pocket as well. Most players overlook this type of shot. Who wants to shoot at a long straight in from off the end rail when you sell out if you miss. Answer, nobody!

The only shot I think Alex overlooked is at the 55:50 mark. He could have slow rolled the 14 over to his side of the table, above his pocket, and froze the cue ball against the 15 on the rail. No escape for Dee from there.

You're right ...... no escape unless you're Houdini. I'd still jack up to bank the ten. :)
