Was in the 12:00 8 ball tournament. Playing well, (I even beat ex_champ in Round 3. Lost in Quarter-Final. Waited an hour to undeservedly lose 2-0 to hourglass. I know he is a good player, but I think that should have won.


Same thing happened just there now, only I lost 2-1 tp jooodles, I had a few chances to take the game but I missed easy shot on the 15 ball(my last ball before the black), then she pots her last ball (the 3 ball), and before she even took her shot on the black to win it, it said : TOURNAMENT: jooodles knocks out _kinggerard_ . It's a bloody disaster

OK as the observer time for a reality check

firstly having missed an easy shot before that you were lucky to leave it safe and not leave her a pot on her last ball from which she would have won easily. That's the game of funkypool - lots of luck both for and against each player!!

as for the black - she potted it normally before the result came up - i suggest that was just a delay in your connection.

All in all hardly a nightmare i would suggest

I would say phone your Internet provider and when on the phone ask them to tell you what a sore loser is

Why would I ring them to find out what a sore loser is? I'm just saying that I had a chance to win and I missed out on it.

Everything is starting to become a nightmare now. I was playing an 8 Ball ranked game and we were both on the 8 ball and he potted the white. As I took the shot to win it hit the jaws of the bottom left pocket, then on his attempt to pot it, his time limit was on '0.00' and it was on that for about 1 minute, so I thought it would give him a random shot and leave me with another good chance to win it, but after a minute of his time limit being '0.00' he ends up getting his shot and wins it.

On your shot, the shot timer tells you how much time you have left to hit the ball. If it runs out, you get a random shot against you.

On his shot, the shot timer on your screen is a guide as to how much time he has left. Maybe he's having connection difficulties and the client window at his end doesn't know you've taken your shot. Or maybe a process he's running is seriously slowing down the animation. Or maybe he has already taken the shot, and he's having connection difficulties and the server doesn't know he's taken the shot yet. Either way, he's had the total of 20 seconds (or whatever the particular limit is for that game) for his shot, whatever the time on your screen is.

Now that was unlucky!

.......or in light of what he has previously posted above it could be that the problem is with his connection and that his opponent had already played their shot, potted the black, won the game and was busy smoking a big fat cigar

lol

On the minor end of the scale, just got 3-fouled out of the speed tourney; got massive lag and couldn't even break, so the other guy had to do the necessary (which I did to someone on Monday evening ) and snookered me twice.

There I was, in the UK final, on the verge of my "100th" tourney win, and of course, my internet decides to fail me and commit suicide

Determined to win a tourney today

I hate it when I'm playing killer and someone plays a good safety and I think "I feel sorry for the poor git who has to go next". Then I realise it's me

Just played a few killer games, and one player, no matter how much of a safety I left them in, would always smash them and get one in, everytime.

Twice getting the black from one of these.

Now either it was sheer luck, or this player is so good they can predict their smashes.

Annoyed.

Dropped about 20 points from three games.

My alarming loss of UK form (and rank) is quite a nightmare. I've gone from 855 to 759 in about 3 weeks and it's showing no signs of stopping
