I played in the final of our Alternate Rules knockout comp last night and won 3 - 0.
Games 1 was won on the last ball and game 3 was won by a few hundred so very close.
In game 2 I went a bit mad and scored a total of 7,900 points which included a k2 plus break and my highest break ever in this format of 5290.
So..........has anyone ever scored this amount in 1 leg of Alternate Rules or had a break over K5 ??

I hope next year those 4pin Open organisers make sure those pegs are as close as this year or ban the 50 pocket break shot next time!  |

I think Curt was referring to "Triangles" not 4-Pin, Milko.  The only way to stop his capers would be to leave the wooden triangle in place on the break !!!  |

Alternate would suggest a regular switching back between one system and another ! |

My apologies too to Curt for allowing Gandalf to lead me off topic ! Unfortunately we are unable to check back on record scores for the Alternate/Alternative/Shmerkative Rules due to the AEBBA website being down.  |
