One Pocket Spots

[thebigdog]

I am fairly new to One Pocket. I have heard of people matching up several different ways. One thing I never understood is how people make games using more balls than in the rack. For example how do you make a game 10-8? Do you just re rack the balls and break again or just spot necessary balls. Thanks in advance to help clear this up for me.

Whenever the required scores add up to more than 16 -- such as the case you describe -- the player going to the longer count spots the first ball or balls they make at the end of the inning in which they make them, until they get down to a score that adds up to 16. In your case, the player going to 10 spots their first two balls, then they play 8-8.
