heres something i noticed today as i entered the site and clicked on tournaments to enter the tournaments manually, when i click on available tournaments to join it came up with the rules for tournaments, including all things to do with dq's ect... now my idea is why can't we have something like that in the main game, so when somebody enters the tournament manually through the game that it displays the rules somehow, either via a link or maybe something more classy if you want to experiment nick, i don't want people writing nonsense lol i just want your views and whether not it can be done, this ones for you nick, think it will really help out with the moaning about disqualifications

If you join a tournament through the game window, doesn't it already give you a link to view the rules? I haven't joined a tournament in a good 6 months +, so i've forgot lol.

But yeah good idea. It would probally be via a link as you mentioned.

e.g

TOURNAMENT: UK 8ball Tournament Joined, To view Rules Please Click Here

thats what i think, or something more like

TOURNAMENT: 8 Ball Uk Tournament joined successfully, you must read the rules before you are allowed to participate, please click here.

then they can't join tournament until they do, i think its fair and then when they get to rules they have to click that they confirm rules, just another way to stop people ranting about the way tournaments work and saying that they didnt know about the rules, this sorts in out full stop.

but they learn after they do it once anyway. I dont want to have to read the rules if I am joining a tournament once an hour...its a waste of 10 seconds for me.

I never even read the tournament rules when you did have to join via the main webpage.

sure, have it as an option, but dont have it compulsary!

That would be soooooooooo troublesome. Double thumbs down.

1) It is meant to be a fun, friendly website, and if you had to agree to terms and conditions all the time, it kinda loses the appeal.

2) For the seasoned tourney players like myself, this would just get in the way while I'm in the middle of the game.

3) If people log on with "under a minute to start" they will miss the deadline. Unfair!

4) You argue it will cut down DQ's, have you EVER looked at the first page of this forum?

And as argued, DQs are purely optional for some players like myself. I CHOOSE to miss out on the tournament sometimes for personal reasons.

5) When your invite arrives, it comes up with all the rules you need...


Tournament: 8UK Semi-Final (Race to 2)
Sm_rat vs Bloggs
Please accept this invite quickly or your invite will expire!


How much more info do you need?

6) As aflumpire stated, you learn after the first mistake.



Trust me Nick, you have everything needed that is necessary.

Rant Over.

lmao nice post, no lol that was a suggestion, i was saying there should be a link so people can read the rules, then if people are new to tournament then they can read the tournament rules, i know about the DQ if ya don't enter because i do the same, i am just saying there should at least me a rule so people can read the rules
