Ok so you want to set a 9ball challnge room in the vp3 lobby online in gamespy,but you dont want to play on the garage table.
Ive finally worked out how you can play and also with a shot clock as well on any table you like,but first you have to do a little preperation first.
The way I did it was as follows
I set an online LAN game with only me in the room and i chose for example Deep Pockets,which is the red table and 9ball and i also added a 25 second shot clock.
After I played one shot i went to the in game manu and saved the game and called it Deep pockets and i then quit the game.
I then browsed my computer and opened the CELERIS/vp3 folder and browsed to the user file folder and draggged the Deep Pockets save to my desktop...got that so far?
Then I went to the gamespy vp3 lobby and set a challenge 9ball room with championhip settings on the garage and with a 25 second shot clock...BUT and heres the but, as soon as i hit the start button I alt tabbed to my desktop and i clicked on my Deep Pockets game save file and then went back into my room id set and voila its now set at Deep pockets and its 9ball with a 25 second shot clock.
You would do exactly the same for hard times or the hawg pen etc.
