yes . . . so if you sink the nine, MB will start (assuming you've locked a ball or 2) and the blue column will start strobing for EB (or boints depending on settings) then the special column will follow after you collect EB. Once all 3 columns have been collected (the 9ball, EB and Special), the targets will keep resetting and you knock 'em down for boints. You can start the MB again, by locking 3 balls - on the 3rd ball lock MB will start. That ball was a good example of the game "topping out". The cool thing about 9-ball is once you've maxed bonus and collected the 9, EB and special, you can still build (via the skillshot target, or outer 3-bank drops) and crush the spinner as well as going for horseshoe loops and of course pegging drops.
I should have also mentioned that at *any* time locking the 3rd ball will release all 3 for MB - even if you haven't filled up the rack.
