whats a run out??

a run out is where you pot all your balls in the one go.

clearing up from the break.

this should help a bit as well:

And a run out in 9ball is the same, but you also get credited with a run-out if you pot from the break and then pot the 9ball on a combo before leaving the table.

On that point - I know it it counts as one on here, but is it really technically a run-out? Because it's a lot easier than potting all 9 balls.

This was debated on another thread (which i cant find - helpful i know!)

The suggestion was to include a "Games won from break" column to the stats for 9-ball, leaving run-outs to be exactly that, potting all 9 balls...

Tiny tweak i know, but if Nick's ever bored......
