Based around what triangl said...

have a game, but have an option when you create, practice mode. This means the game doesn't coun't towards rank or wins/losses but you and a mate or 2 can just muck around and try trick shots ect ect. Would be a real hit if you ask me, im fed up of having a game rank or what ever when its my first game of the day.

great idea

also means you can play double black and other fun alternatives.

yeah cos i thought of some alternate rules (forgotten them tho) but they wouldnt work cos the loser of the game would gain the rank in some cases of these rules.

You can play unranked (friendly) games.

The wins and losses will still be added, but this is not a bad thing, potentially in the future some features (I won't go into now) will be open to people have played, say, 1000 games.
