Some PDF, Old PQB Magazines articles, and instructions for Paul Frankel's 3C Challenge Shot Contest for Pool Players. Info should be/ can be found USBA website. But I'll just some here:
Here is a short recap of how the 3-Cushion Billiard Shot Contest works
3-Cushion Shot Contest Format:
There were 8 diagram shots. Each player shoots each of the 8 shots 3 times (24 shots total). Each shot is worth 2 points (48 pts max) and the total number of points wins. Three small round dots (stick-ons) are placed on the table, which represented the exact placement of the diagrammed shots. All players had the same shot and same placement of the 3 balls. Then the dots are removed and replaced for the next shot selection.
Special Note: After each shot a player takes a straight rail carom shot as the balls come to rest. If they make it, it is worth 1 point and added to their previous scores. This means that the maximum possible score will be 72 points if they made every shot.
