I noticed in our well written history of the Johnston City tournaments this statement about their 9-ball rules:
In 1967, for the first time, 9-Ball was played “On any foul (except the break), opponent may place the cue ball anywhere on the table.” In prior years, “push-out” was the standard for 9-Ball.
Since "push-out" and BIH are not necessarily mutually exclusive, I was wondering if we have a copy of the Jansco's 9-ball tournament rules? We have the one-pocket rules they used somewhere on the forum, which were surely the first ever published rules of one pocket. So I'm wondering about 9-ball as well, both pre and post 1967.
McChesney's Texas Express in the early '80s to my knowledge was the first rules to provide for the 3 foul, BIH rule. But I'm wondering how specifically at Johnston City they played the "push-out" rule; and how that combined with the BIH.
