Sardo rack-US Open

I noticed on tv last night the women having the 9-ball racked on the spot. Is this the way it will be again at the US Open? Also, the shot on the five where she was almost frozen and jacked-up, sure sounded like a foul. Comments?

With any degree of sanity, The Open will not use the SARDINE GIMZMO !!!!!
Hopefully the sponsor money (aka, bribe) will not be severely needed.

It's there and the money has been spent.
