I think the free ball rule should be put in here as it is in real snooker and is useful.

Yes i agree but whether or not it would be put in i dont know, its been spoke about before a lot of times and its not been put on, but yes i think the game should be changed to the way it is in real life

Yep has been discussed many times .... http://www.funkysnooker.com/findTopic.do?forumid=2&searchString=free+ball has some feedback

To be honest... This is an addition that has to be implemented. It's something that is missing from the game and in my opinion it is the most important thing missing from the game.

I can see it has been discussed numerous times and it is usually argued that those are things impossible to add. I wonder is it really impossible?

I really like this game and the fact that it's the only online game I enjoy playing proves it, but...

Free ball, Touching Ball, ''Foul and a miss'' rule and balls being replaced are additions essential for a snooker game.

Foul and a miss is the only one not possible as you need a referee to judge/deem if the players did a good enough effort to get out of the snooker.

That's true and I can see how it would cause a lot of trouble... However, perhaps in friendlies... where the result is not that important, both players could have a button to click like they were the referee themselves...

90% of the people I'm playing are good sportsmen and would have the good will to agree on whether something was foul and a miss or not.

Unfortunately, whilst the majority are good sports (90% may be a trifle high) there are a sufficient number of those that are otherwise inclined to make it impractical - in fact it is normally precisely those people for which the foul and miss rule is particularly valuable. Also, it would be more useful in non-friendly matches (particularly tournaments) and so if it can't be done for them (which it can't) then it isn't worth doing for friendlies

I agree i play snooker so i know about the free ball rule so people who do know cant tech people who don't know

the favour of having a free ball is that when people get a random shot time limit and pot one of that, it counts, so they need also the nomination ball rule to make it a lot more fair

free ball rule is very useful
