I suggest changing the Invite sound or Tournament notification sound!

Does anyone else get confused when you're wait for next round of a tournament and a new tournament notification pops up because they have the same sound?

I don't get confused. I just look at the invite button to see if it's flashing. Not that hard to do, is it really?

I think its a good idea to have different sounds , I'm quiet often in a different window while I'm waiting for an invite and wait for the sound alert , with all the micro tourney being introduced there's a boing every couple of minutes sometimes , it would be great to have 1 for invites and a different one to join a tourney

Every time I hear the spring "boing" sound I think it's calling me for an invite. I think a doorbell "dingdong" sound for the joining a new tourney would be great!

It is quite common when having your attention diverted elsewhere whilst you are sitting in the chat room, whether if it's something at home or browsing other sites.

Having an option of different sounds for each alert is a great idea in my opinion, especially the tournament announcements and invites.

A foghorn is another good one.

lol...this would be pretty cool, and quite funny at the same time

It could also be very confusing and or frustrating at different sounds for all of the different invites, tournaments etc!

It would take a considerable amount of concentration if lots of sounds were to be introduced, not to mention getting used to it!

Personally I dont see any requirement for a change to the syatem that we already have in place..

I cant see how 2 different sound alerts could be confusing? I also think along with a sound change there could possibly be a colour change on the announcements for the tournament your actually playing , its getting difficult to see time warnings now because there's constant announcements .

Sorry didnt see this but i did do a search

Dunno how it could be confusing either unless your a complete idiot. Boing for tourny and Bing for invite

It wouldn't be so confusing if voice alerts were used.

"New tournament available", "Tournament invite received", etc....

is that possible?

Yes, the sound effects are just wav files.

is it possible for scores too like a break count?

like in straight for instance.

That would be good, but to have all the possible numbers would mean a huge amount of space required.

ah no problem, is 150 too much to start with as 147 is maximum in snooker, i can't see anyone getting past 150 in straight (unless your damee the robot).

only type what can be higher than 150 is power snooker, which i cant see anyone pass 250.

Could just go up in tens

i tend to look at scoreboard often which 9/10 i miss easy balls the next shot, shouldn't put me off but it does, especially if im on an important break.

which is why i like to listen to my break as im playing so i dont look at scoreboard.

i tried saying break out loud as i was potting and it worked (waited until parents was out of way or they would think im crazy).

There is now a different sound for new tournaments and tournament invites. There's no voice sound for now, just a very short boing!

What about using a similar system to train announcements, the speaking clock, etc where you just record each different bit once (eg "twenty", "two") and combine them ("twenty...two")?
