Because it's a sub game, a lesser game so to speak, which I happen to disagree with, but none the less. It's our equivalent to Golf on pool pretty much.

Even though if it were to be included, it'd sharply increase the number of players playing carom!

golf on pool is a game you can play by yourself though, you cant play carom on your own

I've got to agree with Mike tbh. It should be included in overall. It has a ranking system in place like the other games so can't see why not.

It can only improve the amount of games on carom and get more people entering the tourny!

Please put punctuation marks, makes it harder to read!

What about players who can't play original but can play carom? Should original be included in overall?

It's different to golf, because it has a ranking system, most wins, tournys etc. Even killer doesn't have tournys, so in theory that has less rights to be in overall than carom.

Killer is primarily a pool game.

And why does it matter which i found hardest to get used to? (which, wasn't carom, i can say that for sure). You have to get used to all games to be in overall, so if carom was added, it would just be another to get used to for most, which i don't see why you can't.

a carom win = a carom win

cant really include it with your snooker wins

its a totally different game.

killer may not be snooker however it requires the same skills

potting and safety play so thats probably why its included.

you only need to play one game of every type to "unlock" the overall ranking on your profile, one game isnt going to really affect your overall score that much now is it.

1 game out of 100 played = 1%
1 game out of 1000 played = 0.1%

For this reason, I agree they should be included.

they should be, as damien rightfully stated, they are tournaments, rankings. maybe add a number of 4+ runs to it.

just for tournaments and rankings alone, i think carom should be included in overall.

but its simply not fair on players that come on here to play snooker

alot of players dont understand the rules of carom

alot of players find carom too difficult or just think its boring



i for one would be more than happy for it to be included

but the bigger picture is.......... it wouldnt be fair.
