I was just in a friendly game of pool vs a guest and just about to pot the black on a 7 ball and he left. just wondering if there was anyway to implement away of carrying on ur shot until u miss

It happens in snooker doesnt it ? So i dont see why not.

Good point... "Opponent has left, a win is awarded after the next miss or foul". Sounds reasonable.

Also on straight pool ive always been for this especially if your on a runout

Does it not already happen in straight pool?

Would be good for 8 ball/9 ball though, as runouts/7 ballings may be lost.

look up yoda

That comment doesn't make sense to me, it's not explained very well I think

Already implemented

I think Alex was replying to pool bird

Being able to carry on once your opponent left the game was the best thing Nick ever implemented on snooker. There must be a problem doing so over here other wise it would certainly be added. I'm sure he's working on it.

It would be one of the best updates that could happen other than doubles

Never heard you say that before but to be honest when will doubles happen nick

i suppose it wouldnt be a bad idea.

even if you also had the option for once you missed, the game ends; but the balls stay where they are so you can still practice with that rack.

This has been discussed a few times, and would be a welcome addition by most people I'd presume.

Oh... Ye... Doubles, when when when?

Yes, it's possible but it would have to be disabled for tournament games.

That would be brilliant and yeah, it makes sense to disable it in tournaments

Unless if, at the deadline of a round, a player is on such a run, and the tournament is extended indefinitely until the run ends, and it can only last so long. But I can't see this being implemented for tourney games, and it's not that important for a tourney
