So yes, both the Memphis Rules and Shootout Rules are one in the same which were conceived from the original Tudor Rules. And yes, I think Miggle Rules would qualify that way and Rules 2000.

That's just my impression. However, the Memphis Rules did include things from the Coleco and Gotham Rules which were closely related to the Tudor Rules.

Thanks Reg! That's the kind of info I was hoping to get. I had never heard of the Memphis Rules before. Great info. Is their a copy of the original Memphis set somewhere?
