Short Rack One Pocket/Single Elimination

[Island Drive]

Got this idea about short rack 11 ball from Mike Massey. He said put the 11th ball in line with the head ball.
I tossed this idea to members.
In Louisiana Bogies liked it and is doing their version , and now Skinnys gonna try their version.
So now you have...
Two new events on 9'.
Cool these are test runs for both rooms, they like the idea, and so do the older one pkt players.

if it is to speed up play why not just have the players play faster. slow players will drag out any game.

even c and d players can play a game quickly and i bet they do it more than the better players that stall on purpose or have to take too much time to think through every single situation.

Try and tell that to those older players that play only this game.
There are trying something new, why the hell not?
That's saying ALLOT for that group.
I'd prefer to be in any large room playing every match as if it was a final, and if I do get knocked out Especially first round, I'm there, I wanna play and now 1/2 the tables in the room are OPEN and 1/2 the players might want action. How does that sound, your already there????

I like the idea...short rack and Fargo handicap.

I just heard Oscar Dominguez is gonna do one at Hard Times.

I wonder how you break the balls! Interesting. With the back tier of balls gone from the rack the breaker could more easily leave a cross bank.

hope it generates interest with some new folks.
