Re: What happens if your ball is never taken of the rack?

i think because of gracios professionalism and the fact that the winning team would get the losing teams points they would probably knock it off for you

Re: What happens if your ball is never taken of the rack?

Watching the regionals on webcast, if the ball is still on the overpass at the end of the match because it was never removed, they count as bonus points. I saw it happen quite a few times.

Ah, but if the winning team is winning by less than 24 points, those trackballs are coming off in a hurry. Why would they knock the balls off? It's to their advantage most of the match to leave them up. At the end, though, it isn't and the balls will come down.

Re: What happens if your ball is never taken of the rack?

That's why we made sure that we had the ability to knock the balls off of the rack (I know, it's the overpass) backwards. We will be able to remove the opponents' balls to negate the 12 point bonus without completing a hurdle for them.
