What do you think of my new rule suggestion?

Do you just not hate it when you are playing a match, it is "hill-to-hill" and your opponent snaps the nine ball or someone gets an early easy nine ball combination? I think the rule should be changed to "9 ball, last ball in" on a hill to hill game, what do you think?....if you snap it, spot it and get ball in hand. After the break if you "combo" the nine, you spot the nine and same shooter keeps shooting from where the balls finished.....just think, what if this was a big money game and that happened....Yes, I guess you could both have that agreement prior to starting the match, but I have NEVER seen anyone bring this up!

Update:

Thanks for your participation Mark.....you made my day!

    It seems odd to me to change the rules just for one game in a whole match. I think it would better to make 9-ball a call shot game, similar to the way 10-ball is usually played. I don't think the 9 on the break should ever be an automatic win. I see what you are saying, but I would just take it a few steps further.
