WPA vs WNT break format

[skor]

WNT:
9 on the spot, break box, winner breaks, no 3 points rule

WPA:
9 on the spot, no box just anywhere behind the string, 3 points rule, alternate breaks.

Which format do you prefer?
Both seem to make the spread more random and tight matches

I would go for alternate breaks and 3 point rule.

as a player or a railbird? because those are different preferences.. if i'm playing it's the no break box version

It's hard to believe that the three point rule, among the most ridiculous rules ever used in cuesports, is still around. Far too often, it penalizaes a player that breaks hard, which is far too big a price to pay for poretecting against the soft break.

At least for me, the three point rule is as outdated as the penny farthing bicycle.

Should be some way to eliminate a soft break.
Same goes for breaking from the box.

Totally agree. Don't mind 3-4 balls to a rail but the 3pt rule is a joke.
