u know how we get into stalem8s and end up takin like 10 mins. cant we decide to re-rack instead?

Because thats whats called a great game!

But yeah, seriously, stalemates are a part of the game, so the option to call game would be good in this case too.

The call game option covers a lot of circumstances, and i would imagine it will be included soon..

well good idea sean_paul

well good idea sean_paul

cheers achievement.

Stalemates just add to the tension in my view.

No Mcq, this is about real stalemates, where there is no way out other than for one of you to leave.

Rare, but they do happen.

i dont see a point in stalemates to be honest

yeh i had one 2day match lasted about 30 mins lol was a black ball game thats why, i won tho ;)

i agree 101% on re- racks

Meh reracks is a bad idea...
End of the frame, you just have to see who can hold their nerve, wait for the other person to mess up.
Beginning of the frame, someone eventually blasts the pack of reds.

Sorts itself out in my opinion.

maybe there should be 1 for original snooker if both players agree

def not on arcade snooker if you hit the ball hard enough its gonna go in... ive never had a stalemate on arcade snooker last that long

I know what you mean, but it's just a test of patience, determination and a little bit of luck!

I had one today, just battering the ball works a treat...sometimes!

Exactly, really stupid idea this is a snooker website and taking as long as your want is the luxury of the game.

soz if its a stupid idea.. just a thought

Sean_paul.

I reckon all ideas are good, without other players ideas, we would have nothing to rant over!!

true :)

thnx mcquiston

That was a joke dude!

Just to clarify - this is not about safety and tactical play, its about proper stalemate as defined in the rules, where there is no way out other than to end the game.

As i said before, its rare, but does happen.

happening right now believe it or not... got a bunch of 6 reds in the corner black is completely covering the pocket!
