     I George with A Bit of Billiards

     Our stucture for 9-ball break and run:

     One is drawn for the Break and Run, It cost the entrants $2.00 per ticket or 3 for $5.00 or $7.00 for 10
     A name is drawn(only 1player per night).Rules of the game. When a player is called, he or she breaks. If no ball is made and and player did not scratch, they get a second shot from where the cue ball lies. On the break, Player recieves money for each ball made 10% of the pot. If the 9 ball is made on the break, player has coice of 25% of the pot or spot the 9 ball and take 2nd shot.

     How money is funded?
     We started with $100.00 pot. Any monies collected that night of play went to pay-out for the next week of play and not that night. Our biggest pot was $5260.00 won. $750 was collected the night of the win to start the next weeks pot.

     Hope this works for you. We maximized our league play for this particular night.
     We currently have an 8-ball break and run too.

     Regards
     George
