Apologies if this has been brought up before (I did do a quick forum search)...

I have noticed since playing on here that a lot of people leave tournament matches after one game when they have become best of 3 (or more).

Whilst I am sure some are intentional it seems likely that a lot of people assume that having lost a game they are out - not realising there is more to play.

Would it be possible to bring some kind of unmissable reminder message up at the end of a frame warning that the match is not over yet?

Or indeed any other kind of warning rather than just the lines in the chat window at the time the draw is made.

If you go to leave any game, you get a warning confirmation box that you will forfiet if you leave.

I cant think of anything more that could be done than that!

Yes thats the normal warning you would expect to see if you leave the game early. But if you don't realise that theres still at least one more to play you will just ignore it.

Anyway just an idea - seems peculiar to snooker - doesnt happen on pool where the matches are nearly always the same length apart from the final.
