Maybe make the game rooms a little less time, like a choice between 5, 10 and 15, 15 minutes per game is far to long IMO.

not really, i enjoyed 15 minutes, 20 minutes and beyond then i would agree with you.

but i agree about having a choice.

15 minutes is a perfect time in my opinion, but I'm all in favour of having a choice. Also, is there any way to combat people leaving games? The majority of people I've played have left early.

Does the rule "2 balls have to hit a cushion" apply?

power play should be increased to 2 minutes, it's impossible to get a maximum

the whole point is that you should have at least the option to concede


this is what i meant, if you are pretty sure you cannot win, then you should have the option of conceding

15 mins a game is a tad long,id make it 10 mins with a 15 sec clock.

i do feel the game is too long though a 10 minute game would be better i think 5 mins would be too short

Does anyone think it is considered poor form to use the whole 20 sec shot time limit near tyhe end of the game when it is close, so you don't clear the table too quickly and give your opponent a chance to break the next frame and possibly win the game?

How would you feel about the game length if :

How does an early finish flag sound? One which both players would need to press obviously..


I know it's not a part of the real game but if you reach the situation where one player is way ahead at the 5 minutes left mark, but the other player isn't in with a chance of a stat worthy break (for example, or just wants to move on) a polite way to end the game would be nice.

I have already been in a couple of games where you just end up knocking the balls about for the last couple of minutes both knowing who's won.

Why would both players need to concede, why can't a single player concede (only when he's in play) similar to snooker?

20 second is official rule, but as we've altered the timing, also altering the shot time to 15 seconds is a possibility.

Maybe the game length could be calculated by shot time, eg if you choose 15 second shot clock then game length is reduced to 12 minutes, 10 second shot clock then game length is 9 minutes, for instance.
