Let me help you with the math Denny Boy. A miss on the 10th ball leaves 6 balls on the table which means he pocketed 9 that rack, 9 + 14 +14 +14 = 51.

I've been waiting all year for you to slip up. :D

On a serious note, those are nice runs, getting into the 3rd rack often is very good.

I don't know, I had 4 balls left. I missed one on the rail trying to break 2 out and I had a break ball. I would have missed the 12th ball I guess... I need a counter for this game. Bad math on my part.

so 14+14+14+11 = 53. I am not sure if I will learn to keep score or run 7 racks first.

Nice try, Bill.

You almost got me.;)

But I was bailed out by Jason.

P.s. My mechanic says maybe Sunday (probably not), Maybe next Friday ?
 
(x * 14) + (15 - y) = z

x = number of racks you ran
y = number of balls left on the table
z = your total run

Assuming you started with a full rack.

Edit:

If you didn't start with a full rack:

(a - 1) + ((x-1) * 14) + (15 - y) = z

where a is the number of balls on the table when you started

I think that's right.

xs and ys!?!

You are going to scare these guys away from straight pool.

Some have trouble counting let alone the advanced ciphering that you suggest. :wink:
