9 Ball!

http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/pool-jam

This is a 10 minute 9 Ball game... guaranteed to waste 10 minutes of your time.

Things I have learned playing this game:

Don't bother with the "English" thingie, just takes time

The faster you shoot, the higher your score

You get penalized for scratches ( starts at -300 for the first round, goes up from there for each round)

You can place the cue ball anywhere after a scratch, so make it good!

I was thinking we could all play and get used to the game and maybe have a JTI pool tournament sometime?

I got two racks sunk before the timer went off. I really suck at this. I can't get my angles right, something about looking at it from above onscreen instead of sighting down a cue. I'm sure practice would make me better.

It seems to be kinda 'jerky' right now.

It does have a learning curve.

I got 33350.

Just follow the line... ;)

Keep practicing! When everyone thinks they have the hang of it we'll do a tournament!
