Yes, I'll increase to 30 for announcement.

When will the tournaments for this be introduced nick ?

I agree...I think we need to keep it! Would take away the skill element drastically.

well not really if called pockets were introduced but without called pockets then it should stay how it is except on the break shot.

30 is too hard lol. make it 25 please!
and why has no one commented on my previous idea on page 4!

I haven't played one person who hasn't smashed after break yet, although I'm sure many people do I think it's fine how it is.

We played and I smashed, then regretted it immediately. Or was that someone else I played...? egotistical I think

No offence but the only people that smash it are the ones not doing so well...

give us a break nick! how about 25 like dansier suggested!

how about a fireworks spectacular if we get 100?

I think being fouled for potting 2 balls at once is rather harsh.

i agree. what if you just got 1 point for it?

Sounds better.

If the announcement is increased to 30 - will 15+ still appear in our history, or will it need to be 30+? I want 15+, it's the best I can do

The rule needs to be that way - harsh or not.

It prevents "hit and hope" play and encourages risk management between having to break up racks vs. running the risk of potting extra balls.

It wont prevent hit and hopes, its going to be as much a hit and hope game as killer and 9ball, also does it have the skill level to be a ranked game, I dont think so

a game with no real skill and silly rules

had more to say but I better not, might get into trouble lol

I disagree, i've had loads of shots on straight tonight that i could pot 2 balls no problem, yet punished for my positioning and thought into the shot that i'm attempting to play. Personally i feel that's the only downfall of the game.

Hit and hopes happen all the games anyway, what difference would it make in straight?

As a player who has only had 1 15+ run in 3 days of playing i would disagree that 15 is too easy. There are a lot of players on FP that wont ever reach 30 or 25 so in effect will never have the chance of an announcement so maybe set the limit at 20. What is the harm of setting the announcement lower after all this is a pool game as much as a social chatting site

i agree. who cares if there are a few announcements every now and again. its difficult enough clearing one rack, let alone two!!

i think we should have it at 20 or 25. it doesnt hurt.

it wouldnt flood the screen like 7 ballings would

Will straight pool play a part in your overall rank?
