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, Race to 2s (Team game race to 5)
5) No Live audience (No room in the shed) ShedCam viewers only please.

Ways to Earn a Shot....
1) Winning a match (all players on the winning team for each match are required to take a SHOT each)
2) Golden Break (all players on the same team are required to take a SHOT each)
3) Turning up later (only players late need take a SHOT each)
4) Cue ball off the table (only player who played the shot will need to take a SHOT)
5) Players taking too long over each shot slowing down the match will need to take a SHOT
6) Players caught snoozing/sleeping/eyes shut for over thirty seconds, will be required to take a SHOT


Above all enjoy the night, don't take the pool too seriously :)
