Put the eight ball in the center of the rack. Put a solid ball in one corner, and a striped ball in the other corner. Stand the balls up and make a tally of how many balls to rack. Use a prop to help avoid tipping the balls as you rack them. If you have 9 balls in your rack, push the balls so they can move in addition to their respective scores. If you don't have 9 balls in your rack, set up the table for them, placing the balls so they can move in sync with the overall score of your set. Position the balls so they are scattered about at the corners of the pool table. [substeps] Set up the rack so the balls cannot get out of the rack on their own.
