biased much?

Don't think it is anything to do with bias, to be honest, it just seems reasonable that the original table is the best solution, though from Nick's post he seems to be veering more to the regular table and Arcade is just physically impractical. The argument for original is based on mitigating the relative simplicity of long pots (compared to real life).

Anyone wanna give me a reason why this shouldn't (And killer) cannot be available on all tables?

Can't we have a game option for when we are creating to choose the table layout that we want?

Well, this on arcade is impractical, as explained by Nick in his post because of the lack of space, and Killer on original is unlikely to be popular because of the relatively few people (compared to Arcade and Regular) that play original.

You should just create a seperate site, with Power Snooker on all disciplines! Just like you did with killerpool.com

No, why do you think snooker in real life is played with balls and tables in proportion with the original table? it's because those dimensions are the best for achieving a top quality game..

if it does get brought in on this site then it should be regular, as its between arcade and original.

the power zone will be interesting... i assume it was introduced to the game to make long pots more appealing to players but on here the distance fromt he object ball doesn't make much difference so it's easy points i guess

the most challenging thing will be to try and get in power zone every shot for double points, in orig its probably achievable, regular just about achievable and arcade i doubt it would need tremendous skill to pull that off.

while im here nick please do a practice option for this (like you did with straight) then we can record what scores we can get, even though it wont be offical, would be handy on ALL table sizes even though you might only use regular for the actual game.

drop the idea of power snooker and improve the games we already have,bring killer to all tables,introduce a killer rank filter.

nick can always put rank filter to killer anyway, killer on regular may be a good idea but theres another thread for that

You really aren't a guy for change are ya!

I dont think there is a maximum. 396 would indeed be the maximum for the balls on the table. However, the match HAS to last for 30 minutes. So once all the balls on the table have been pocketed then there is a re-rack.

So there is actually no maximum break as the balls never end. Just depends on how quick you bash the balls out!

Just wanted to point that out! Think this is right!

No.

sometimes you have to stick to your guns a rank filter is vital though.

yes but that can be easily implemented (i think) but thats down to nick.

Yep, thats right. There can be as many "frames" in a match as there is time for.

Regarding the comparitive ease of potting from the powerzone on here compared to the real game, yes, this is true but everyone is on an even playing field so it won't affect the game that much.

Using the regular table will help offset this advantage by narrowing the avaliable space.

Yeah, there is no disadvantage to anyone for it being relatively standard from potting inside the powerzone but the only difference it will have is that the frames will be higher scoring?

Not the end of the world is it

Why hasnt this been implemented yet?

Exactly.

Actually, something worht bearing in mind given that this is a timed game, is how much longer it takes to set up and wait for a shot back and forth to the powerzone every time.

I think it's just possible players used to 5 sec games could probably rattle in reds and blacks based at the bottom of the table at almost, or maybe even more than, double the rate of a player playing more difficult, time consuming shots from the powerzone?

An interesting matter of tactics which will be fun to see played out.
