I know it's perfect, but the rules are saying half hour

i know but there are a few other rules nicks tweaked to suit this site, like powerplay SHOULD be 2 minutes but its 90 seconds instead.

I don't think I'm being understood lol.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the rules that nick has made, it's just that there's mistakes in them.

If you look, it says half hour - where it should say fifteen minutes

It would be great to carry on your breaks if im honest, because then you could see who the real players are, getting 1,000+ breaks


It would be interesting, but remember this isn't straight pool. Breaking is an advantage, and breaks alternate so this would only work for a maximum of one more frame.

Thanks - it'll be fixed next patch.

nope, he had 1 more shot after timer hit 0:00 as it should then gave me then 1 extra shot when it shouldn't where the balls was, no respotted black.

about 20 hours ago

was 209 each after game ended, then during powerplay i potted 2 reds to win the game.


This can occur - example, time runs out to 0 on your machine, but because of network delays he took multiple shots all before 0 on his machine. When the time synchronised to your machine it may have been just 0.1 seconds, so still showed 0. Obviously the first shot you took would end the game in this condition.

I agree, I will look into it.

By the way, this weekend there has been 6,000 games of power snooker. This equates to about 1,500 hours of power snooker!

Theres a problem with blackball respot Nick.

Basically the frame ended in a draw, thus leaving black ball respot.

My opponent, 777pw, won the 'toss' and took the shot, unfortunatley he missed, but then it respotted the black and give him another shot, and he missed again purposly, then it done it again, graciously, he fouled and give me the game, which i thank him for.

Ooops, that's a good point, it will. I guess when I was testing I never missed a respotted black!

Thanks - that can occasionally happen when playing a subsequent game. I will fix next patch.

5 seconds won't make much difference, and cutting it down more would make it less skillful as most people would rush and hit the balls too hard/hit & hope.

20 seconds is the real life game rule. And as demonstrate perfectly by Ali Carter, you are completely entitled to use up all of your 20 seconds.

Keep it at 20.
