This game has widescreen and I never realized it until now? Well now I know!
I've been working on getting a full Tournament victory recorded, and I had this amazing Japanese 9ball game. I ended up with 68 points out of the possible 80. In case you are not familiar with this variation, here are the rules:
1) 4 players are all for themselves, the first player breaks first.
2) The lowestnumbered ball on the table must be struck first. Anything after that is fair game.
3) Pocketing the 3, 5, 7 or 9balls scores points taken from the other players. If one of these is pocketed on a combination, points are scored and the player continues, but the ball(s) come(s) back out (this is a great opportunity for scoring, but be careful for clusters).
4) The 3, 5, and 7balls score 1 points from each opponent (can't steal from 0point); the 9ball is worth 2 points, all when pocketed at the corners. Pocketing in the sides is worth double (another great opportunity for points).
5) If the cue ball comes back to rest within the original breaking area (the front quarter or 2 diamonds of the table), the player continues and rebreaks the next game (a stellar opportunity for more points still).
6) In the event of a foul (scratch or illegal hit), any points that would be incurred are forfeited and any pocketed balls are returned as a cluster.
If you think you can manage better than 68 points in a 3 or 5game set of Japanese NineBall with Level 5 CPUs, post a video response. If you can get all and keep all 80 (a perfect shutout), that would be amazing.
