THis may have been mentioned before but I think when you get a Golden Break on the practice table, you should get a small mention on the main chat screen like any other golden break.

Even if the font is smaller, I think that people who get the break on the practice table should get a small mention as may never do it again!

I have had 3 golden breaks and 2 were on the practice table.

Note: My in game golden break was on the old aflumpire

This has been mentioned before

I don't like the idea, it would probably be like adding announcements for 7ballings. I think the game has just became perfect how it is now. Not too many announcements.

Sorry, but I don't think it'll work

Its a reason why its called a practice table....

In football, if you score a goal on the practice ground it doesnt get counted....

Its the same principle....

You can do it in practice, but now do it in a game...

ok....what if it was an option like tournament results amd things like that.

Then it wouldnt be in our faces unless u wanted it to be

because a golden break in practice means absolutely nothing!

I totally disagree.
On the practice table, you are always breaking, therefore making your chances a bit better.

Plus, for 9 ball, it's real easy to get a runout on the practice table, just gotta find a decent break and that's it!

disagree with me that it means nothing or with him taht it does :S

Many a time I have had GB's in 9 ball and 8 ball US ont he practice table but end of the day they don't win you anything therefore they mean nothing coming to the conclusion that an "Announcement" is invalid.

Totally agree with lewis...

You arent facing anyone!!!

So you dont win on a GB

Be nice to see a pactice stats page on your profile , this idea has been mentioned before

psmon has the best idea

the stats wouldnt mean anything on the current tables, just a stat page of your practice results.
personally think it would be nice to view

i dont think this is a good idea to have a game announcment for golden breaks in parctise, i often just practise breaks in betwwen torny matches, if you go back to my old account of which i was 3rd on leader board for uk goldens plus the ones from this account and all iv done in practise it probally adds up to around 500 plus goldens just in uk 8 ball alone

I think we should have them as in football if you score a goal in football practice it wont count in a game but will be noted and will boost your confidence in the game therefore making you better so we should have golden breaks coz iv done about 40 in practice but none in real games. (the football part is to sort of contradict SM_RATS post as i play football i speak from experience

no point in an annoucement still but i like psmons idea of having practice table run outs and golden breaks recorded seperatley. The fastest clearance would be a good idea- not just in practice but in general.

I think when you have a golden break or a run out in any event games 8 ball 9 ball 8 ball uk it should be on your profile under that game it wouuld have for example you have a run out for 8 ball it should say practise table run outs with a 1 on if that makes any sence but some people dont think it would be a good idea but i think it would because it also shows what you got on practise so ifn you told some one they dont believe you if they went to your profile they would see it

As it has been mentioned, you cannot Golden Break on a practice table, as you arent facing anyone...
