you asked "what are the rules of 7-ball on television?" well, they are not the same rules, as the old fuddy duddy ones on this site that you read. here are the basic rules, updated for television. two sets races to 7. if the sets tye its one game of sudden death. the 7-ball does not count on the break, and gets respotted, however, the breaker, keeps shooting. you need someone with a stop watch, because each player gets 30 seconds to shoot. they are allowed one 30 second extension per rack. if it's hill-hill, they are allowed two extensions. you must call the 7-ball, otherwise it doesn't count. and here's the real hot sauce, your only allowed to miss once in a rack! if you feel, you may miss, you must call out loud "saftey", you are only allowed to call a saftey once in each rack, if your out of safteys and miss, it's ball in hand for the opponent. i feel, everyone will prefer 7-ball over 9-ball, it's much more exciting. enjoy.
 
Sounds like 7-ball is to pool as what nascar is to racing. People watch for the crashes. :)
 
One ball

In the very near future, one ball will be the game of choice on TV. It will make for very fast games and alot more commercials.
 
You couldn't do the "shot clock" in a local tournament. Skip that part. The rest of the rules are correct. The timed shots are needed for television. You can't have someone standing over a ball for 10 minutes on TV ya know, pool is boring enough to most "non-players" as it is!
 
Does anybody remember the old 7 ball rules on tv. The seven
ball RACKER calls which side of the table he wants to make
the 7 ball on & the other guy had to take the other side of
the table. I was pretty good at that game; often turned
into a 1 pocket kind of game.

to wally, the reason i did not post this in his thread, was because someone said. click on the rules, he did, thanked them and went on his merry way. i had to repost, with warning, so he doesn't bore the field.
