All,

I find it a little hard to believe those of you saying "1" have ever played pool before in a bar or pool hall.

I think 1 is the "official" rule, even though it's probably never played that way in casual competition.

I have never seen #1 used. It's also a preposterous rule as a good opponent that's behind on balls can often leave you in a position where you only have a low % shot of avoiding a table scratch.
