Where did I say you cant make subs?
I was giving an idea on a discussion thread like everyone else, if they don't go with it fair enough.
Other people have said similar things, oddly you didn't pick on them...

not picking on them or anyone, it was fact a sub was made 10 mins after fixture release by PDz

I didn't care, I played it. just a lot of others had a lot to say
funny they didn't say anything after it

Agreed Stu

FBL from what I know has and is a specialist/discipline competition where you pit your best at it vs their best.

Making a substitution rule is totally futile.

I don't think I need to put a example up as it is common sense.

3 fouling someone should be a bonus event. Cheers Stu

Agreed, instead of giving bonus points for GBs

Well, I suppose the GB is like an easier method for lesser able players to still achieve something, I would vote to keep them in

But bring in the 3 foul rule in 9us, as there are some really clever players at doing that.

The stats actually show that so called better players have actually achieved more GBs than lesser players but I agree they can be achieved by anyone.

The difference between GBs/ROs and 7Bs/3Fs is that there can be no element of poor play from the opponent involved in the achieving of the bonus points currently which can happen if you incorporate 7Bs and 3Fs. They can only be achieved through good play and/or good fortune.

getting a golden break is easy
for lesser players ?

golden breaks aren't ever easy, it takes a lot of practice
you may fluke some, but people who get them regularly practice them and should be rewarded

if you want points for golden brakes practice them too

look at my golden break against onevisit
it was a perfect GB and at the perfect time

salvaged me a point in a close game

I see what you mean but don't agree. If you want to achieve things practice to improve like the other top players have, I don't see why it should remain in place for that reason, apparently GBs require skill that's why you get a bonus point for it, but very few people get them in clan games so I think that speaks for itself

Let's take your own stats for 1 second, barring 9us, in the 8uk and 8us;

8us, 23 GB's, but only 17 runouts
8uk, 79 GB's but only 21 runouts.

The amount of games played to achieve that many GBs speaks for itself

But some people, no matter how much they practice, will never be as good as a pro or uprising player, so it would seem harsh to only allow the 'better' players to gain a bonus point, which takes away that small element of luck for the lesser clans in this format of the game.

I think GB/RO or 30+ runs should be counted on the FBL instead of SL considering its a speciality league. Think this would be a good point for debate.

I agree m8 but dvz and pros would have a field day if bonus points were awarded for straight runs lol

But then surely that must come back to your own argument? To get practice more?

I don't ever play straight, so no

I haven't disagreed either, so surely that must be irrelevant also!!

your point is
I don't go for run outs I play a safety game, even you would know that

and funk lets look at yours and chapsters stats




leave it there I think

Stats prove exactly what? I was unbeaten in FCL last season, only lost 1 in FBL and was unbeaten vs pros in both leagues, how did you get on?

I'm not sure what my stats have got to do with anything anyway, all I said was you've achieved very few GBs for the amount of games you've played which speaks for itself, especially for someone who seems to spend a lot of time practicing for them and still gets very few.....

Try improving your pool skills, then you won't need to hope you can scrap a draw from a spawny GB

Scrap all bonuses apart from:

Runouts
7 Ballings

Maybe introduce consecutive win bonuses. (idea)

Gbs - a lot are done through more luck than judgement
3 consecutive fouls, I've seen players and reports from matches clearly state 'they fluked a snooker', this can be done by very good players but why single them out and punish the not so good (the majority)

Once again there are OTHER teams in the leagues than just bloody Pros and Uprising!!!

Not EVERY rule needs to be okayed by them, nor need to accommodate them.
