14.1 question

[t-dog]

This is about 14.1 and running 100 and out. I posted earlier "how does one run 100 and out", I was asking if someone breaks and runs 100 or if someone runs 100 after he gets a shot. I worded it funny so my responses earlier were there is an extra ball and you keep breaking the stack open. I understand that, my question is can someone win the toss and then break and run 100. are they making a ball on the break or are they doing the normal break, letting their opponet shoot and then run out from there.

The way I read your question the answer would be it can only likely happen sometime after the break. It is unlikely the breaker could call and make a ball on the break. All breakers will break safe. Anything other than that opens up the table for a 100 and out by your opponent.

Suki gave you the correct answer. However a hundred can be run from the break. Either bank a corner ball to the adjacent head rail pocket or kick from behind and make the head ball two rails in the side. There are more but these two would be most common. Risky at best, so it's not likely to happen in tournament play.

I've also seen head ball to the side pocket straight from the rack. Actually at senior European Championships a couple of years ago. Looks impressive and you get the rack wide open... But I wouldn't try it... too risky, IMHO.

Like this? I'm not really sure of the English you'd use...

There is a very old game closely related to One Pocket called 'Corners' that dates apparently at least to the 20's, played on special tables with only two pockets! The two pockets are at the head end of the table, and the game is played a whole lot like One Pocket, except that of course there are no neutral pockets and the balls are racked at the opposite end of the table from the pockets, so that's apparently how you break -- try to bank the corner ball into your pocket on the break. I guess even though that break must also push balls over toward your opponent's side, that corner ball is the only one that really heads up table towards the scoring pockets.

Ever seen that kind of table Rod?
