idk if this has been mentioned b4 but it would be cool if u can wager points against an opponent instead of letting the system decide EVERY time. im not saying there is anything wrong with the current point system..i just think it would be a good addition to be able to wager points. like say if me n sum1 else were playing, their could be a choice b4 the match starts to either play regular or have sumthing to wager in 2 point increments and both players would have to agree on it b4 the match starts.

I'm sure it's been discussed before, but that must be quite a whole ago so no harm in bringing it up again

Personally I wouldn't mind, as long as it's controlled properly by game mechanisms so it doesn't get out of hand.

The main challenge would be how to balance this with the daily reductions tho. Being able to lose/gain points faster or slower brings that part out of balance.

Some people cheat on funkypool (fake accounts ect)

So this may not be possible..
i think it would be a great idea but people would abuse the system

For Example
Me and jabmb play each other i let him win more 9 ball matches to get his ranking up and he lets me win 8ball uk

not saying u wud do that sorta thing m8 onli an example

So you saying you could put, lets say 5 points on the line for example, and if you win, you gain 5 points? If so it makes the current ranking system flawed as people with this could easily get past the "impossible" 1000 target. If you don't mean this then im sorry

thats what I presume he means damee

I would say no for the same reason - because then its not a true ranking system; and we sure dont want two seperate major ranking tables.

its either got to be one or the other.

fair enough..i read everyones comments and noticed that implementing a system like this could be a major problem due to flaws in the idea. just thought id try to bring a new idea to the site since i really enjoy playing here.
