5 RACK ONE POCKET
The Game: It is a proposition game of One Pocket between a non-player and the player. The proposition is that the player has 5 racks of balls to score a predetermine x-amount of balls into one corner foot pocket. The x-amount of balls to be scored is determined by the opponents prior to the game starting.
The Rack: 15 balls are racked randomly within a standard triangle rack, by the player. The opponent has the right to inspect the rack and ask for corrections to be made if warranted.
The Break requirements: The designated scoring pocket must be declared before breaking the initial rack, with no further declaration needed unless there is a scoring pocket change on a subsequent rack. The entire cue ball must be placed within the kitchen. Any racked ball can be first contacted. There is no requirement for any ball to contact a rail, or to pocket a ball, but the rack must be contacted or it is a foul. A ball made in the designated scoring pocket, counts. Play continues from where the cue ball lays. After the opening break shot, play continues unless a foul has occurred, which ends the rack and the score is a -1 ball.
Rack Continuing: The rack continues only if a ball is scored. The rack will also end upon any foul. Each foul is a -1 ball deduction. If a ball is scored but a foul occurs it will not be scored, plus it is a loss of 1 scored ball, unless no balls have been scored then the score is a -1 ball. The ball count is tracked after each rack. Any balls pocketed in a neutral pocket are to be spotted all at once, and only after clearing the table by scoring all the other balls. All shots must only be played with the player's playing cue.
Game Won: The player must score the predetermined x-amount of balls within 5 racks.
* Any further rules of play or any alternative rules of play are to be determined between the opponents *

Cincy Kid,
I believe this is a rap. Would you now approach Steve for us guys, and see if this can be categorized under the Head line Heading of "The Game".
Subtitled " 5 RACK ONE POCKET ".
I'd like it to remain as written without any changes since this has been approved by those members that participated. I would also like it that there is no mention of wpa general rules apply. For I believe this is a game between two individuals and I would not want to infringe or impose any further specific rules upon their rights to play this game as they wish. Plus we have the * sentence * that covers this.
Thanks for your considerations,
&
thanks to all of you for your support and input to help this endeavor become a reality. Whitey
PS. Cincy, I just recently did some minor editing for added clarity.
