I agree with that.
I've seen a player hitting a very weak break, the cue ball just touching the rack, which didn't move. He got 1 point penalty, and the next player had to play with the unbroken rack, and had only 1 chance to pot.
I think this scenario is very unfair: even if the 1st breaker got a penalty, the next player shouldn't get penalized.
How about if the breaker doesn't meet the 3 ball to cushion requirement, therefore fouling, the next player should get his 2 chances to pot?

Nick, after a foul break shouldn't it be cue ball in hand?
Why should the player coming to the table be punished for the foul? At least this would give them the maximum chance of potting a ball, either that or allow them to rebreak by reracking and they then get the maximum of two shots to pot a ball?????

Completely agree. Not because it happens to be the same rules as US 8, but because those particular rules incidentally happens to be healthy for the killer format

well i did say this before - every shot should be a legal us8 shot or else its ball in hand

As long as players who have reset are not included on the ranking tables, then sure.

And regarding the safety stat - simply ignore all unsuccesful turns by the following players if you didn't pot yourself.
You should need a legal shot to have any possibility of gaining credit for the next player's misses.

Good idea.
Starting to get complex I guess, but still would be very healthy for the game.

Yeah, but if you reset and become 0.. you play those 8 games, therefore -80, so you reset again, play 8.. -80 again.
Becomes a vicious cycle You should keep trying and win some, it'd be better that way

what is the requirement for a 'safety' shot?
11:45 Fri 27 Jun 08 (BST) [Link]
If the person who plays after you misses their shot, you gain a 'safety'

Hows is it out of something as well? like 15 outta 35? what makes it '35'
12:01 Fri 27 Jun 08 (BST) [Link]
if you take 35 shots, and 15 of those shots are 'safeties' then it would be 15 out of 35.

If the next shot is a break shot you're not credited in any circumstance. Therefore it is different to your number of shots. In addition next patch will ignore any shots after you have not potted.

If you make mistakes, you make mistakes and you live with them ;)
If we are to build any base for statistics at all, resets is a very bad idea - player driven or not.

I like the way everyone is coming up with really good ideas for this game! However... the more ideas are put into place... the less like killer it actually becomes.
Excluding ideas for stats etc thats what makes it 'funky' in my opinion
