''Sudden Death Seven-ball'' (also known as ''ESPN Sudden Death Seven-ball'' for promotional purposes) was an annual pool tournament (and television show) held in the United States; it was broadcast on and sponsored by ESPN. ''SDSB'' was the most notable event featuring the game of seven-ball. It was usually held (in a variable location each year) at the same time as ''Trickshot Magic'', another annual televised pool tournament. The event series was short-lived: After six events, 2000 – 2005, the tournament was never again staged. There's a possibility that it might have been replaced by the International Speed Pool Tournament, a new cue sport event that started taking place simultaneously with Trickshot Magic in 2006. ==Format== Each year, eight invited notable players have competed in this single elimination event. Every match has two sets, both of them are race-to-7. To win, a player has to win both. If there's an exchange, then the players will go into a single rack decider to determine a winner. If a player fails to pocket a ball, the other player shall be awarded ball-in-hand. To prevent this from occurring, the player at the table must call a safety. Each player can only call a safety once per rack. The seven-ball had to be called before being pocketed. Failing to call it or calling a pocket other than where it really went would result of the seven-ball being re-spotted and player at the table loses his turn. Also, winning by pocketing the seven-ball wasn't permitted. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sudden Death Seven-ball」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
