So you got the usuall balls spots (9/8, 17/5 ect) , the ole "hit and pick", all the breaks, the infamous "hand span"...lol., mop handles. ect. ect. ect.
some are traps , some are the nuts, depending whos gets what and a players weakness and strengths are.
the old addage " even a jackass can out run a race horse if its weighed down enough " is in effect.
so i guess my question if i had one would be, what game or games have you made or gotten where an unusual spot or rules was in play, the advantages and disadvanteges and gameplan involved of the spot/rule.
I thought if i had to play a pro caliber player id have to have somthing more then just ball weight , besides the 12/4 14/5 and all the breaks,
id have to add something along the lines of.....
1.they have a " x or no count " , where they have to make X amount of balls before they get credit twords their score.( ex.5 no count)
strategy :, more balls need to be made per inning , ofcourse.
2 I get . B I H anywhere on all Qball pocket scratches.
strategy : to me its not as strong as it sounds , cause pros dont scratch the qball in a pocket unintentionally very often, but may come into play at some point during a 3 -5 game stretch. especially if they have to follow your game ball in.
3. if they q ball scratch in pocket, all balls made during inning and in thier bin get spotted. all of em..if they got none they owe say 2 or 3.
strategy: again its not going to happen alot but does hurt them from making yours and following it in during a defensive play.,can be somewhat strong.
4. All balls made in my pocket i keep reguardless of scratchs or who made it.
Strategy: well, i may get a ball or two per game this way , and the game ball doesnt come back up on the intentional foul. thinking its semi strong. vrs a pro.
i could go on and on with some of the ones i thought about, and since it is a big part of the game and the making of games, and im clearly a novice at the game, id like to hear some stories,opinions and whathave ya.
it doesnt have to be a you vrs a worldbeater , could be just a subtle rule between to closely matched players. or based solely on a certain style of play.
