How does this differ from the REAL Mosconi?

1) We use a 7 foot table and smaller balls.
2) Jump shots are not allowed. So no silly cues needed.
3) No 30 second time clock used. Take your time but hurry up!
4) Shorter matches, Races to 3 Singles and Doubles, 5 for the team game.
5) Player must take a brick for each frame won, forfeit if instructed by the brick.
6) Players must drink, over night stays are welcome if you drive over.
7) Players will bring their own drinks. (Shots as well)
8) Losing players are required to drink a shot.
9) No Live audience (No room in the shed) ShedCam viewers only please.
10) If you drive then expect to get force fed shorts....
