Actually, you see the cue moving because your screen is still catching up with their shot. They took their shot within 20 seconds however your/their slow internet connection means it appears to take longer than that for it to catch up.

There is nothing to be done about it because nothing is wrong.

Ty for that, at least there are still some people on here who are not rude. cheers iamtheworst.

I never looked at your profile, just to make that clear.

And nothing can be done about it, it's always been due to internet connection, and outside the sites control. Simple as that.

And why do people take posts too much to heart, no one likes being told it as it is.

The timer is only on your computer anyway

It has absolutely no reflection on the other persons computer or to what is happening on their screen. Nick has always said it is only a guide! Once the shot has taken place on your screen the timer resets. The other person could be suffering severe lag and take a minute to take each shot which gives the appearance of a long shot time on your screen

how did you know i had nearly 3000 posts then? huh?

This should be a good explanation

Also, if either you or your opponent is "Not responding" it give you up to 90 seconds (I believe) before disconnecting you or them. This is another reason for some delayed shots appearing to be well over the shot time limit, this happens in all disciplines, and can be very misleading.

It says it under your name.....?


And everybodies name for that matter

says under your name after you have posted, no need to look at profiles.

Says on the forums below you name...

*Feel like doing a facepalm*

LOL! So much ammunition, so much resistance to use it.

Seriously you must know after nearly 3,000 posts it's under your name!

funniest thing i've seen in ages

i wonder how many posts i've had?

can someone look and tell me please?

why you lot picking on calar?

back on topic

i think the clock shot should be 10 seconds in POWER torny at least 1 and the other 15
i do it myself time waist if its needed near the end but i still dont agree with it

10 seconds will be closer to the real thing in time sense as the match time is halfed anyway. a true half scale

10 seconds shot will not stop people entering and if your not good enough to play in 10 seconds then your not good enough to win it anyway IMO

In normal Snooker, time wasting is definitely a pain but, from what I saw of the televised Power Snooker, it is a valid and acceptable tactic employed by the professionals.

Why should players that are not "good enough" to play 10 seconds be punished for playing a game they may enjoy???

isn't that what the idea of playing an online game is about? Maybe you play for another reason but the majority of people on here play for enjoyment, boredom relief or nothing else better to do.

Why should those people be punished?

punished lmao ok sure

Is that your answer to my question? Not a very convincing reply

this wont be the first torny at 10 seconds a shot
it is not a punishment get real
if you say you play for fun how does less time on a shot make it less fun only more fun IMO

stops the boring not so fun time waisters

ok

Out of interest, what is a "time waister"? Somebody whose waist differs over time?

You hardly mean "time waster" meaning somebody who misuses time?

ok smarty pants no need to pick apart peoples posts because you know im right get a life
