we were in a power game due to finish 30 seconds before time limit runs out we finished 30 seconds before but we got dq'd as soon as we finished

shouldn't there be a longer time limit for a random tournament?

I think it's the same for every round, regardless of game type. So maybe add another minute to the time limit for each round.

The difference in Power though, is that there is a set time limit of 15 minutes for the game, whereas an arcade frame can take 5 or 15 minutes.

The problem, I think, lies in the invite period of 210 seconds - this is not being taken into account, over and above the 15 minutes for a power snooker frame.

So, if one or both players take 3 minutes (i.e. 180 out of the 210 seconds) to join a power frame in the random tourney, there is actually only 12 minutes' playing time available, instead of 15.

A change in the code by Nick would rectify this problem.

You can't do it baff?
I thought I remembered some time ago (I forget which mod it was), there was a similar problem and one of the mods just changed it on the spot.

was 175 ahead in random, with 20 seconds to go, slow punishment... both DQd :((

So, basically, if you play power in random you have no chance.
