Reracking

[Bob Jewett]

Bob, you are correct. And now that you made me think of it I am going
to try and make it a safety shot next time I play 14.1 (which is tomorrow) LOL!

Without video it never happened!

And while it should be fairly easy for your opponent to get out of it, I think there is no real good safety for him to play.

The 15th would never be spotted "behind" the rack, unless the rack has been disturbed and a ball interferes with the foot spot.

If the 15th ball is called and made or missed, on a legal shot, without the rack being disturbed, then if both players
agree that the 14 balls in the rack needs to be adjusted... OK. Again, check the rack before the shot

If the 15th ball is "made in the wrong pocket", "made on a called safety" or "made in called pocket with cue ball scratch"
or just a "cue ball scratch" then a "different" rule comes into play in that the full 15 ball rack is allowed to be "tightened up"
by re-racking all 15 balls if the 15th ball will not freeze to the rack. This can be "done" by either player without approval
or complaint from opponent. In fact, the players in our 14.1 league generally rerack all 15 balls in this scenario without thinking
about it or trying to freeze the 15th ball to the rack.

If the rack (absolutely) “cannot be adjusted unless both agree” (orig. post), and the 15th ball cannot be frozen to the rack (divots, forward racking, etc.) then you would merely leave it set off in front as close as possible?
In 14.1, re-racking has always been standard procedure, and a referee duty (made-up league rules notwithstanding).
