I love how FBL is purely a specialists league - is there really anyone on the site that considers themselves an arcade specialist? I'm nowhere near a top player, and I absolutely despise the arcade forms. In tournaments I think it's a disgrace anyone can gain tournapoints entering them!!!

Could we not just set up a separate arcade league if there are enough gormless degenerates to create the demand?


payback_ England 786.1
andyw1 United Kingdom 778.1
beenjammin United States 773.3
onua0767 Canada 771.1
kirk United Kingdom 770.4
rubber_duck England 769.3
davybaumers Belgium 768.7


another disrespectful post,, faust
I guess all these players fit the bill
sorry but your not in their league, maybe apologise for your comments


OK Craig. The three on that list I have asked have all confirmed that they are definitely NOT an arcade specialist. One of the people I just asked wanted me to pass on a message to you that I would most certainly get banned for if I did. Maybe apologise for your imbecilic, incendiary response to a perfectly reasonable comment?


Don't mind Craig. He got abit over excited at the thought of arcade. He might actually win a frame or two per fixture should arcade be introduced

I am now done with funky for the foreseeable future. Keith amazing job I know your only trying to accommodate all options being put to you by players but no way is a format! It's called :arcade: for a reason, like slot machines jeez.

Be safe funky players il pop back in a week or so to see has progress been made

Also some criteria needs to be set to be part of a league. Each player who wants to take part, should have at least won 1200 tournaments.

keith, you'd also increase SL to 8 indiv matches right?
If so, I love it!
We'll finally have a true
team match league, and frame count league, both long enough to be accurate.
and with FBL only 6 frames per match, there will still be a league that optimizes the chance of upsets. Even better than SL did, considering arcade being added in.
Looks to me like most everyone's problems with the other idea are solved, genius!

I guess I was wrong, you aren't out to ruin frame count, apologies.

Problem is people dont want arcade included

Other suggestion to make FBL the shorter league is what I suggested above, reduce each game type to 6

Yeah, I read about the idea in keith's post, I understood that with the change to SL (counting frames, playing 9, etc.), FBL would have 6. I like it, with or without arcade.

I dont like the idea of arcade, thats why i suggested reducing each game type to 6 as a compromise, just a minor change then, surely that wouldnt hurt.

Just to add to this, although I hate threatening things.

Should this FBL change to add arcade and have 1 frame of each type go through, I would be asking my captain to not include me in the FBL league games at all.

If it stops it sullying the other 3 leagues, I am quite prepared to run an arcade league next season if a genuine demand appears.

It's no compromise to the many people that think there isn't a league with a long enough format, and that 2 of the 3 are too short already.

He would only have one rival. Then the clash of titans can begin.

There isn't a league with a long enough format, FCL is 15 frames, why would you want longer ?
We could be heading back to the top clans wanting longer formats to suit them argument.

If the SL removes bonuses isn't it just a quicker FCL with a slightly different league format?

If that happens to the FBL then surely there is no reason why straight can't be increased to 4 frames?

Arcade has had far more games than straight yet we have had arguments for days about not losing straight. Before it has had that many games played there are obviously people playing it and playing it more than straight

A very flawed comparison considering that a frame of 9 ball arcade takes thirty seconds and 8 ball arcade around a minute (not that I have anything against Arcade!)

Please tell me how many games of arcade gets played daily on snooker and how many on here?
Also arcade gets more frames played than straight cause a frame of arcade lasts 10 seconds.

9 arcade takes 30 seconds a frame in comparison to straight that can take longer than 10 minutes in some cases.

Not to mention there is more arcade tournaments and micros than straight ones.

Edit: people beat me there.
