In an arcade tournament today i got through to the quarter finals then got knocked out by a guy who got 70 or so points off the break

All credit to him/her,but i thought it might have been fairer if in that situation another game could be played to give both sides a chance,as there is in later rounds

It might slow the round time down but i don't think it happens often enough to have a huge impact

anyway,thoughts?

that happens sometimes
its all down to the skill of the opponent
if so we might aswell play at least 2 frmaes in every round
if thta happened it would end up being a bigger marathon

it should stay the way it is

sorry

Sounds a bit like a marathon tournie to me...

and what if you get your request and its race to 2 in quarters

then what if the same happens to you in round 1,2,3 ect and you ask for the same again

its going to end up turning into a big marathon tourny

the odds of someone winning off the break in all of your rounds are somewhere between slim and nil,but point taken

You've obviously never met ste_efc and sean_paul

there are loads of players on here who are capable of breaking and clearing

Answered your own question. It doesn't happen all that often, therefore there isn't a great need for something to be changed for it
