What exactly is the one pocket challenge?

[center pocket]

I see that the high run for the one hole challenge is at 48. How is the format setup. Do they break and run 8 then rack again, or break and run all 15 in one pocket?

They break, no ball in hand, try to run as many balls in one pocket as possible. Maximum 15 - I believe they get 5 tries, so a possible 75..

This is correct. John Schmidt ran a 53 right before I left at around 7:30. He should have ran close to 60, but he got bad on a shot.

Do you have to make a ball on the break to continue?

No, only shot where you don't have to make a ball. Look on the other thread and I explained it in more detail.

So what's the break that people are using for this? Just a standard one pocket break or do they do anything different?

Normally a bit more agressive break than the ordinary opening shot. Some shot on the third ball, some on the fourth. Various teories on the subject..
