Here's the situation - You are in a match that is important to you/your team. Alternate break. Your opponent is slug racking you every time. Asking for a new rack is not helping. If TD is there he will tell you to get over it after 2-3 reracks and hit it. Opponent will not allow you (and rules require opponents consent) to rack your own.
Do you
1) Suck it up, hit the rack as well as you can, and continue to give him a quality rack
2) Suck it up, hit the rack as well as you can, and give him an equally bad rack
3) Demand a new rack until you're satisfied no matter what, and continue to give him a quality rack
4) Demand a new rack until you're satisfied no matter what, and give him bad racks so he has to do the same
Options 3 and 4 dependent on the presence of league/tournament director.
Also, quick update to OP that is relevant - this was a nine ball match between competitive teams. It's not life or death to us but we are competitors in every sense of the word. Opponents team would push the rack ahead of the spot, then tighten from the wing balls while pulling the rack slowly into position. This allowed the balls behind the 9 to gap slightly, creating a slug.
