I would like a pause button but could get abused a lot, but only allowed 1 per frame? And insted of an extra 30 seconds, how about just doubling what you would have for the normal time.

E.G.

Match was 20 seconds, then pause would double this to 40 seconds.


So yeah i do like the idea of a pause.

Yeah I like this idea however I dont think it should be used in tournament games because if the clock is winding down and the 1 minute warning arises and the player pauses the game resulting in double DQ.

Also I dont think you should be one way, I think it should be a request for example,

Virtuso107 has requested to pause the game Accept or Reject ?

2good has Accepted your request to pause the game.

Something like that.

One problem with the request idea, what if the opponent you are playing declines when you have to go for a minuite and you get a random shot time penalty. I don't think a request is needed if it's just one per frame. Don't think it would do any harm don't you think?

No, I'm against that the request is pefect so what if they reject its not their problem!

1 pause per turn? What's the matter with that?
Not going to massively slow down the game play. I don't see why we need to request it...

virtuoso107 is spot on because you cant just pause a game without asking the other player its not fair on your opponent it should be up to you both not just one person

but yeah i do like the idea of this and if your opponent is nice he/she will let you pause the game well most people on this site are nice anyway

I don't think that is a good idea because,
People might pause the game every shot just to agitate their opponents to leave.

Ok then how about something where you can have numerous requests but only in a pause enabled game.

For example Create Room

Virtuoso107's Game
Arcade Snooker
2 Players

{} Ranked
{} Private
{} Pause Enabled

30 Seconds

and then its still a requested option as before

Virtuso107 has requested to pause the game Accept or Reject ?

2good has Accepted your request to pause the game.

But if you have don't have the pause enabled box ticked, tis simple.

Jesus christ even you spell your name wrong Anyway, I think that you should be able to use an extension once per frame, however, I don't think you should be able to in tournaments because of the time limit. I don't think it should be a request, as someone said, maybe just to double the time limit for one turn only?

I dont like this at all, what is the point on pausing a 2 minute game?

If you need thetoilet or even a drink just go and do so before the game
