Account Time Limitation - in line with the recent EU directive affect ALL computer games, players will automatically be logged out every 20 minutes for a 10 minute period so as to avoid RSI or eye strain from excessive gameplay.

Love the new plans for updates, just this confuses me ^^^ How would it work in tournament matches? they run over 20 mins so you would be logged out after 10 mins or have a read it wrong?

No you havent read it wrong. This EU regulation was brought in from April 1st. All tournaments will need to be single frame, five second shot matches from tonight so that they don't exceed the 20 minutes.

Just a quick heads-up as there are sometimes complaints when new updates are fully implimented "without warning" - so no excuses at all this time!

Improvements to Random Shot - always a hot topic on the forums - upon time running out, a player will be given 60 seconds to take their own random shot thus eliminating the feeling of bias often expressed. If a shot is not taken before the 60 seconds run out, the oponent will then get 60 seconds to take a random shot. If either player is detected as having taken a deliberate shot, a foul will be given as per that games rules.

Micro Tournaments - given the huge success of Micro Tournaments we will be introducing continuosly running micro tournaments in all game types and removing all non-tournament games, thus eliminating any bad feeling about the difference in rank etc
