How do we decide who breaks?

From 2023, under the new international rules, players will “Lag” for break. The decision was made that for the 2024 season the 1st player in your block of 8 will lag for the first frame, then players will alternate thereafter to break, up to and including game 8.

For Game 9, players will Lag again, and games 9 to 16 will alternate who breaks.
