Id prefer keeping it exactly the way the current rules are which the majority of the people I play use or doing 2 balls no rollbacks. -Kessler If you ask me, you don't want people getting in a "rythm" and hitting a hot streak during a 1vs.1 game. Plus that second shot is much easier to hit if you miss the first one since you can adjust. Also, I bet those probabilities would favor the player who shoots first more if you get two balls. We all play 1v1 with the same WSOBP rules where u could hit max 3 shots in one turn....but personally i really like the 1 ball better as well. There is more pressure if someones hot and picking u off 1 cup at a time instead of u bein able to think ull hit 3 next time the person misses

But I think the nature of Single's is different, and if people were to get used to shooting one ball, it would better. I completely agree with Wianek that the second shot is easier than the first, because of that rhythm. Since you don't have that Rhythm in doubles, I feel you shouldnt have it in Singles....

Esp without the rollback being in play which helps make up ground when your down.

And its more realistic to a doubles where if u or ur partner r off ull end up only getting one ball per turn ya kno

I dont know I'm just thinking if its not broke why fix it. Just about everyone I play with ( 90 percent of them are world series regulars ) all use the same rules which are the regular WSBP rules.

It's not a matter of broken or fixed...the rules dont exist yet, because we haven't held an official BPONG-sanctioned Singles Tourney. So....we're trying to set them up....

There are some variations but I think the 1v1 tourney would be fine either way. Last edited on Nov 19th 2009, 02:41 pm

If u want 2 see skill then I think 0 reracks would eliminate the "lucky shots/bad teams" and the best team/man would win!

If the rules were to change and we have any say 1 ball with 1 rollback would be an ideal change.... but I would rather see left as it is. Take your 2 balls and get 1 for the roll back!
