You can still leave if you click the 'X' in the top right corner

hoodride, there will always be ways that a person can sneak out of their game, but i think what nick has done (i may be wrong and i'll have a read up on it) is that if people click the "change rooms" thing that they are penalized and you get certain amount of time to finish up your break. lemme read up on it and maybe i can ask farren for you..

in the mean time you just gotta brush it off i guess, i know it sucks

I think it just says that you can't leave. May be wrong though.

it says u are not allowed to leave a competitive snooker game during ur ooponents shot

You can't leave the room but you can log out by closing the game window. This is much more inconvenient and shows you the severity of the action. Closing could also disqualify you from tournaments.

Of course this is far from a complete solution.

ok cheers people

well i guess it's there loss if they leave so shame on them!

at least they didnt leave when i was on for a 50 or anything, except 1 person who left when i was on 52 and i still had options!!

yep, it show's how this game just get's people down!... i reckon most are going through mid-life crisis so get to angry with the game you know

Can't say it's happened to me much. Get a few guests and newbies leave but only usually when im on a break of 10-30.

One incident when a proffesional left whilst i was on a break of 71 from the break with brown/blue/pink/black left.

And a couple when on a break of 48/49. Thats pretty much it. Looking at this, i guess im quite lucky with who i play.

I think the only solution is quite obvious: we have to allow a player to end his break even if his opponent left.
In my opinion, any other solution will be incomplete or inappropriate.

And if such a solution is implemented, we don't even have to give a penalty to players who leave, since they don't interfere anymore with the game's good process.

There will be no definite way of 'locking' people in rooms. It is annoying but it's just the way snooker is i'm afraid!

i must have a bug or im too good or summit people leaving all over the shot against me!!!

i think i know how it still happens!!
if u click on another game or the caht room when its ur go u can still leave even when its there tur once you've pressed the button on ur shot!

if that makes sence??

yup i noticed that i shot and i clicked it after i shot and i could still leave but i didnt of course
