proposals for a new figure-program

proposals for changes of the old figures:

link to the new figures   back to the introduction

Figure 1:
There is still some misunderstanding at these figures with balls gathering in a quart circle.
There is only 1 rule:
If all balls are standing still their center must be within the drawn circle.
(Ball 1 or ball 2 can run out of the circle and run back inside after a kiss with ball 2)
(of course the carom has to happen before any kiss, but this is a "general rule")
Figure 3:
move ball 3 one or two satellites away from the long cushion to prevent having ball 3 after one cushion on a slippery table.
Figure 6:
move the pin forwards to make it more difficult
The proposals are from 1 satellite (N 2(9)) to 3 satellites (N 3(9)) more difficult
(following the statistics the actual position of the pin is ok for the worth of 7-8 points)
Figure 16:
move the line B1-B2 one satellite to the left : A 34(7) and B 36(8)
and the pin possibly to N 151 (7)
(in the proposal there is no reason why)
with 8 points this figure is overrated, in the statistic he have to have 6 or 7 points
but thinking about the synthetic "cloth" it will be not necessary to make it more difficult.
Figure 19:
Move ball 2 to A 26 (1 satellite more difficult)

Figure 24:
move ball 2 one satellite to the long cushion to avoid the kiss B2<>B3
on a slippery table
and/or
move ball 3 one satelite to the main point, to avoid the kiss B2<>B3
on a slippery table
Figure 25:
just one maximum line (like fig.56), one line less on the table
Figure 26:
move ball 3 one (A45) or two (A45(7)) satellites away from the long cushion to prevent
having ball 3 after one cushion on a slippery table.

Figure 27:
The distance from ball 1 and ball 2 is 2-5mm from the cushion.
Is it necessary to make a rule that b1 and B2 have to have the same distance from the cushion?
Do they have to have the same distance anyway?
Is it easier if not?

Figure 35:
Ball 3 on the same position as B3 of figure 52.
in the proposal is no reason why. This figure have to have more points then...)
Proposal 2: Just a maximum line, one line less
(possibly almost the same maximum line than 56 so for left- and righthanded less lines)
Figure 36:
The line of B1-B2 a half sector to the left
(in the proposal there is no reason why)
Figure 37:
move the pin forward, up to one diamond more difficult
(the figure have to have more points then...)
Figure 38:
Long cushion first obligatory, short cushion last obligatory.
(in the proposal there is no reason why)
•
For the rookies: there is no possibility to choose the distance B1-B2, these are fixed points:
the distance B1-B2= SQR(2,9583²+5,9166²)-6,15=0,4648cm
Figure 41:
move ball 1 to K 156(8) to avoid the kiss B2-B3
Figure 45:
proposal 1: Set a pin on P111 or P111(7)
proposal 2: Eliminate the limit/line.
proposal 3: move ball 3 to B 15(8)
Figure 53:
Move ball 1 to F 36 OR move the pin to G 16(9)
Figure 66:
proposal 1: Ball 2 on N 155(8), ball 1 on the line to N 152(8) (2 satellites more difficult)
...will be difficult for shorter players
proposal 2: Ball 2 on N 156 (7), ball 1 on the line to N 153(7)

Figure 69:
B1: F 3(7), B2: E 11(8), B3: G21
(B1 and B2 forwards, B3 1 satellite more difficult)

Figure 70:
move Ball 1 in direction to Ball 2 to K153(8)
Sometimes it happens that Ball 1 dont want to stay on his point because there is the contact point
between two slates. Ball 1 then is on the middle line (for left and right handed players)
(The playing angle remains almost the same, difference 1,606°)
Figure 71:
Move the line one satellite away from the short cushion. B1: A33, B2 on the line to to A 3(7)
1. this will prevent a kiss ball 1 - ball 3
2. There will be less troubles positioning ball 2 because of cloth-damage from fig 58 ball 1
Figure 73:
Ball 3 on H 101(7)
OR
B1 E56 and B2 H146(8)
Figure 75:
giving just 5 or 6 points (how much we need to have a correct set with 60 points or change the position of the balls onto the long cushion (same distance from the cushions and angle):
right handed B1: H 13(7), B2: -H 122(9), B3: B 24(9) like fig.52

or the red one at J 13(9):

Figure 78:
proposal 1: Ball 2 on I 124(7), Ball 1 on the line to H 143(9) (more difficult than the original)
proposal 2: Ball 2 on I 133(8), ball 1 on the line to H 134(7) (even more difficult)
proposal 3: B1 and B2 on the original points, B3 on P 14: B1-B2-L-S-L-S-L-(S/L)-B3, that´s 10 pts.
Figure 79:
Ball 1 and Ball 2 one satellite to the right.
B1 from A114 to A114(7), B2 from B116(9) to B116 (8)
(in the proposal there is no reason why)
But good: Ball 1 is not on the same point as Ball 3 Fig.9 anymore
Another proposal: the pin to B 54(8)
Figure 86:
minimum 4 cushions (B1-B2-L-L-S-L-B3)
difficult to judge, too difficult for worth=6 points.
Figure 91:
no more kiss is allowed
Figure 99:
move ball 3 one satellite away from the short cushion. Will be easier for the referee...
