The current default rule in PACS is that the “losing player” racks. However, if BOTH PLAYERS AGREE that the winner will rack, that is perfectly fine. Furthermore, the breaking player is entitled to a tight rack. Giving a player a loose rack (whether intentional or just being lazy/in a rush) is unsportsmanlike. The breaking player also has every right to inspect the rack. That’s all. May you never have a dry break again!
