Smallest ball
gets sunk.

No table is racked yet. Bet you can't be first: when it opens, spot 1 is lit, the first ball in takes it, and nothing is sunk until a second ball joins.

House rules

Rack in. One ball per wallet, at least 1,000 POOLHALL. Eight balls a table, open until the first sink.
Chalk up or go down. When the round's clock runs out the smallest stake on the table is sunk. Add to your ball any time before that to stop being the smallest. A tie sinks the later ball.
Pocket and pot. The sunk stake, less a 2.5% rake, splits in half: one half to every ball still up, one half into the pot. The last ball on the table takes its own stake back plus the whole pot.

Worked example

Four balls: 50,000 · 30,000 · 20,000 · 10,000. The clock runs out and the 10,000 is sunk: 9,750 after the rake, 4,875 into the pot and 1,625 to each of the three still up.

Round two sinks the 20,000: 4,875 to each of the two left, the pot grows to 14,625. Round three sinks the 30,000: 14,625 to the last ball and the pot ends at 29,250. The 50,000 ball walks off with its stake, its splits and the pot: 100,375.
