Just got round to watching this years tournament, and I note a few rule changes and I think most can be adopted here.
* No bonus points for cents.
* Option to put opponent back if they run out of shot time.
* Ball in hand (within powerzone) option after a foul.
* 20 point penalty and play passed to opponent after 3 misses.
Obviously we can't call the misses as per with normal snooker but no reason not to enforce the rule for 3 misses despite that.

fair point spinns i think option to put someone in after shot time is already implemented. i like the ball in hand one.

bug in power snooker.
in powerplay when time runs out it doesn't give you double points for pots (which it shouldn't) however it still gives double point fouls.
scenario - i just played a frame of power, i had a black left which i couldn't pot so i tried cushion first, as i shot after the powerplay timer ran out it should have been foul 14 points instead i got foul 28.
should be made so either pots count double and fouls count double when timer runs out or both count normal.

Id also chip in here about the Power Snooker Ranking scale.
Power Snooker currently stands at x2.5, the same as Arcade, but less than Regular which is x3.0. Power Snooker is, afterall a 15 minute game, so I think the Ranking scale for Power Snooker needs to change to either x3.0 OR x3.5, inbetween Regular and Original.

agree, in fact power needs to be the same as Straight on pool as both roughly take same amount of time.
Straight is 3.0 also.
Straight is 3.0 also.

Ah, yes it makes sense that it is, I just noticed it used a few times in this tournament.
I like the small alterations as they have made the game more tactical.

Like this idea, recently started to play Power and i love it.
I also watched it on the Tele, and the little new rules would make it much better.
Also i like Wood's idea about the ranking scale.

I will up the rankings to 3* as proposed.
Bonus is removed for next patch (a simple change I performed already).
Option to put opponent back should be a simple change - so I will look into that. Edit: just tested, this does exist already.
Optional ball in hand to powerzone is a bit more tricky as it requires a new button.
I'd like to revive power snooker so any other problems please let me know.

Bonus for centuries removed.
I don't think this bug occurs, dgeneratio. Both points scored and fouls occurring are double for a shot that starts within the power play.

How about giving one of the tournaments a more prime time slot.. 8 o'clock ? That should give it some new life.

no probs im sure it does but maybe just me (unless you looked at start of timer instead of end, the end is where the bug occurs right on 0:00 after powerplay timer runs out), thanks for looking into it anyway

The white flag button appears when the opponent is 200 points in front.
Can this be reduced to say 100 points?

if it was up to me id remove the flag altogether as thats one reason i don't play power because people can flag 5 minutes into it.
but 200 is reasonable.
