straight pool....

from official rule book

The shooting player is scored one point for each legal stroke even if more than one ball has been pocketed on a stroke.

its annoying when you have a 20+ break and you get a ''foul'' for potting 2 balls.

I have read that this rule is on the site to be fair? and to stop players from just smashing the pack? seems dumb to be honest.

there is no point in making up your own rules to seem fair.

rule is very fair,runs could go on forever if you could pot more than one ball,it pays to be accurate.

for once, bisto is right, this is funky pool, where the rules are slightly different to cause a fairer game.

that's OFFICIAL rules, that isn't stated on this game at all if you was trying to say that i suggest you read our straight rules properly.

funky means java can be run on old machines not because the rules is different.

can nick put a thread up explaining what funky is as i get bored saying it

yeah but that is your made up rule, you can pot 2 balls in real life straight. (but you only get 1 point)

why not just go all out and change the rules for other games too?

maybe no 2 shot carry in UK 8 ball because it isn't fair that somebody can win in 1 visit?

lol just making my point...

Even if you were allowed to pot two balls at once on here it still wouldn't be real life Straight Pool as you haven't nominated the first ball and pocket.

This way offers a good compromise between the complexities of the real game and the gameplay restrictions in funkypool.

you are potentially talking about invalidating all of the records (such as seven ballings, longer runs in straight would be more frequent, shot success rate ). i dont see the need to change something that works and is fair.

why not change it so you have to nominate then?
i can't see why you change the rules to seem fair.

rules are rules ...

''funkypool'' ?? why is it just straight that has a different set of rules?

not really, just talking about playing by the rules?

We all play by the rules as stipulated here:

http://www.funkypool.com/help

All disciplines are covered here, of which we all have to accept.

It isn't - other games do too. Like being able to Golden Break the black.

hardly realistic is it?!

Nope - but then to be fair there's no table, cue balls, little cube of chalk and smokey pool hall either.

As a stand alone online game I still think it's pretty good though.

who said it was exactly as official rules state?

No one, what we have to remember is that the site is "Funkypool" not http://www.cuesight.com/pool-rules.html

Official Pool Rules

exactly jim, thats my point

if was realistic if was would just be called "pool" but its not its called FUNKYPOOL
