Really couldn't find a better topic to post this under - Looking for opinions on protocol for tournament play.

Two players on a 3-ball tournament game. Player one has not beat player two's score on player one's 3rd ball. Is it considered bad-form for player two to play thru their ball 3?

In most cases its meaningless - but if its an unfamiliar game I could use more practice on for play later in the tourney I might be inclined to play the last ball.

Thoughts?
