I have come up with an idea for a new breaking format for tournaments, and would like everyones opinion.
MY idea is to combine the best of winner breaks and alternate breaks.
The format is based primarily on alternate break. However, a player can run up to three racks in one inning. After the third consecutive rack, the break would then be returned to the opposing player.
I believe this would allow the excitement of rack runners, maintain competitiveness throughout the match, and motivate players to not give up when the match seems like a blowout.

Now that I think of it loser breaks would surely make for some odd matches. The momentum or lack of it would be really messed up.
