Thought I would post a couple of practice games I use - especially good for times before or perhaps during luck of draws if boards are open and you want to stay loose but don't want to chalk -
Carryover Cricket -
There are no points involved - you shoot the cricket numbers in order but you get extra marks on the next number instead of scoring.
So if you're first shot was 2 20's and your next turn you hit a triple 20 - you would get 1 20 to close plus you would have 2 marks on the 19's -
First to closeout wins -
50-60 - is a 301 di/do derivative -
2 versions -
First version - you have to hit a double bull to start scoring - (hence the 50) - after you are in - each shot must be 60 points or better to count -
Second version is only having to shoot a 50 or better score using any double to start (so double 20 and 10 or better would count) -
It can get interesting at the end as if you leave yourself with something like 55 you have to take that out or you bust since its not 60 or greater
