Ok ppl,

Rather than arguing the odds, i'll give the 1st game (in arcade) to shooter001. As a result, i've updated the current scoreline against the poolers in the cup match.

I've still got 2 more games 2 finish off in that match, so i'll pull all the stops out to get a decent result for us.

Laters everyone

There is clearly a massive grey area here. It is undeniable that in clicking 'yes' to play you accept that conditions in front of you regarding your opponent and time limit.

There must be some sort of rule change or attention paid to it, otherwise if anyone in losing in a game where they have had no conversation regarding time limit, they can simply say... oh I want to play with a ..second limit.

I would err on the side of in clicking they accept the Ts and Cs of the game, simply because it is easier and less room for arguments such as this one.

Yh, i admit, i dont agree with it (as everyone could say their unhappy), I mean who likes to lose a game ?? If there's an opportunity to make an excuse which results in a game being replayed then it gives that person another chance of getting a result in their favour the next time round.

In this instance I didn't agree to replay the game out of choice and wasn't happy about playing another game in arcade (it was more forced on me tbh).

I think it would be good to get all the team captains on funky to express their opinion on this matter.

laters all

the thing is coolwater agreed to replay the frame, if he didn't then coolwater wouldve had the point.

even through lag/disconnect you have a choice to replay the frame, if you say yes then everything from last game is negated, whether its time, breaks frame wins or whatever.

guys how did the defaults work against the hawxs. i dont understand it fully?

basically we see whos logged in most through in game and browsing, check messages sent and make a prediction.

if thats the case you should have finished the frame and if he decided to leave so be it as it wouldn't look good for him at defaults.

urm... so what is the current score lol?

7. Time Limit During Matches:
- Both players must agree on a time between 20 and 40 seconds
- if unable, 20 seconds will be the time limit

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right,

firstly, this was not discussed and 15 secs was chosen by the opposition, then i said i was not happy after i realised 2 shots into the match, the score being approx 13 - 10, i straight away after he fouled potted the white, then after a retake, potted the white again still stating i was not happy from the first foul, so secondly.....

be quiet chubby, u dont know what you are talking about, maybe you think you are right but you are not half way close.

but thanks for the oppinion, also, appologies coolness for leaving the 2nd game as my aunt and uncle were knocking at my door and had to make them feel welcome, appreciated if u could let us know when u r available to play remaining frames pal.

i am avail most days fella so will loook about for ya bad self.

just something for you to consider guys, shooter has come over here from pool where all clan games have to be played at 20s. He has probably got used to just accepting the invites to clan games because he knows what the time limit will be. Putting down a blanket rule that by clicking yes you accept the time seems harsh on people who forget to check.
A better rule would be that all games should be 20s by default, and any variation on that time would have to be agreed by pm first.

absolutely spot on fella, thank you. :)

i had same with aid3n he had one game on 20 then power on 40 and carom on 30 persoanlly i seen it before accepting and i played on anyway i like playing with more time usually so made no diffrence to me but i would have said something if i didnt like it. Shooter didnt notice so not anyones fault

Defaults on news thread, any queries post on discussion thread NOT news or it will not be addressed.

thanks

all that situation is pathetic end of story...

Just to finish that time limit issue: As of now, the rules say that games must be between 20 and 40 seconds per shot. If players can't agree on a time, the default is 20 seconds.
If you want to see the rule changed, you can suggest it on the discussions thread.
