BR A Break and Run occurs when the Breaker makes a ball on the break, without a foul, and runs a minumum of 5 balls before pocketing the winning ball. For instance, in 10-Ball, the breaker pockets the 9 ball on the break and then runs balls #1-4 before making the 10 on a 5/10 combo. The breaker pocketed a minimum of 5 balls and legally pocketed the winning 10-Ball.

TR A Table Run occurs when a player runs out the rack at his/her first turn at the table. There is no requirement that the breaker break dry. For instance, in 8-Ball, player #1 breaks, makes a low ball and makes 3 more balls before missing. Player #2 comes to the table and runs the rack. Player #2 has made a TR (Table Run) and player #1 finishes the rack with 4 points. A Table Run also requires a minimum of 5 balls pocketed before pocketing the winning ball. This 5 ball rule is applicable to 10 ball only, as an early 8 in 8-ball is a loss.

There important benefits using the points per set formula. The point per set formula neither helps nor hurts teams that are affected by bye weeks. Rather than assign an arbitrary number of points to a team that has one or two weeks of play less than another team, the PPS formula looks at performance during the weeks played. The PPS formula also places a strong emphasis on team performance as measured in points acquired during a match. This means that the PPS formula gives the biggest incentive to the players on the team to play as hard as they can and to accumulate as many points for their team as they can. In effect, it discourages sandbagging in all of its forms.
