Could have them in private matches only - as you have to invite the opponent and so would probably trust them not to

anything over 30 seconds in my opinion is really not needed unless your planning on having a nap inbetween shots

^^ I used to think the same, but then realised that some players used the 180 second timer so they could play while doing other things, which is fine.
It was understandable that they were removed when the old 3 ball rule was scrapped, but given that we're all used to the new system now, and indeed some newer members won't even know it existed, I see no harm in them being reintroduced. Especially now there is a warning system in place.
Alternatively, the limit could be completely removed so people could play in turns to whatever pace they desire. Having these games invitation only or the likes would be a good idea to avoid abuse.

It's given the site a new leaseof life IMO, and there are no shortage of willing opponents so I can;t be the only one who was bored with slow games
Sorry, i hate mispellings especially by an admin

You thief! - kinda...
The crucial thing is underlined - thats your opinion
I could just as easily say anything under 20 seconds in my opinion is just people rushing and smashing the ball without much thought or care

Love the 5 second games... takes some getting used to but gets you thinking ahead, planning and makes you a better player...
As i have read someone else say, if you don't like it, don't play or create them!

I love the 5sec killer games, makes for less hanging around inbetween players shots
12:38 Sun 19 Sep 10 (BST) [Link]
I got my first 5 sec UK runout yesterday only to be told it was luck lol
12:40 Sun 19 Sep 10 (BST) [Link]
i havent played killer since 5 secs got introduced lol (played 1 won 1 on snooker though) and a lot of fun
21:04 Sun 19 Sep 10 (BST) [Link]
5 secound games are really fun, especially in killer.
Common sence should stike when choosing a game/creating a game, in other words look at the game details before you enter the room.

i only see the purpose for them if your in a big man game room, whats the diffrence between 10 men playing 5 secs and 3 men playing 15? a 5 second diffrence but more time to choose shots.
Anyway it makes me love 10 sec games which i plan to do more of im a fast player myself i can name the 5th shot in my break on pool way before i get there because to be a good player you do have to think way ahead

Waiting for the 'Bendy Cue Game' with cue ball going in any direction but the one you intended.
The 'Greased Table Game' where the cue ball goes 10 times faster and farther.
The '12 Pocket Game': double the pockets, double the fun.
The 'Moving Pockets Game' where your opponent can move the pockets while you're lining up a shot - in 1/2 a second of allotted time, of course.
'The Bump Game' with six moving humps on the table for the balls to roll off.
'The Breeze Game' where the game is played in 100mph winds (similar to the 'Slanted Table Game' with the table at a 5 degree tilt).
And if anyone clicks on these games unaware, then tough - you deserve everything you get. Also, if you complain about these games, you can always go and live in communist Russia!!!
