I was thinking if your opposition had an easy shot there was a concede button for you so your oppostion wins without playing the 9ball

your say

Not a bad idea but still you might aswell just finish the game off.

would be pointless over here- ive seen many people have an easy shot on the 9 and i think its all over and they miss.....sorry mate but it has to be one of the worst ideas ive seen over here

Dont like it, sorry.

People would mis-use it and concede when an opponent is about to run-out or something like that...

Just play the game out!

You must be a poor sportsman to want to quit a game because you're not winning.

On snooker, fair enough, you can concede when you CANT win.

But here, you are just conceding because you dont like losing...


Rant over...

worse than mine?? lol

nah, I do agree with these guys....there is no point in conceding as in snooker, the concede button only comes up when it is impossible for you to win.

So it would be pointless on here as it is impossible to have a scenario where it is impossible for you to win.....your opponent can miss any shot no matter how easy or hard it is

and other problems would come....what if you hit the concede button while your opponent is lining up a run-out or something like that??

it just wouldnt work.

Technically incorrect. The button appears when you are more points behind than there are points left on the table. That does not equal impossible to win in snooker tho, you can provoke fouls on your opponent and still win. But the OPTION is there for you to concede - at your own discretion.

I see no reason why a concede couldn't be implemented in any of the pool games either, since it's entirely voluntary to use, then again I hardly see the point ether.

On the contrary, it's GOOD sportsmanship that would make people concede in the first place (like is the case in snooker)

But I completely agree it's no point in pool. You could easily implement it so it wouldn't interfere with an on-going run-out, but still no point to it really.

Something wrong with your head if you want to concede before it's over.
