These are the rules under which I prefer to play rotation games, and I think they're the most fair for everyone:
-Winner breaks, rack your own
-10 ball must be the last ball on the table. If pocketed early on a combo or on the break, 11 (or 10, if you have drop pockets), ball is spotted, and shooter continues play as they lie
-10 ball must be called, but for any other ball, slop is OK
Not too complicated, and every time I've played under these rules, the better player on that day almost always wins.
I think these rules would transfer well to a 9 footer, and I think it's the best way to remove some of the more luck-related aspects of the game, without changing it TOO drastically.
What do you guys think?
