I dont know if this has been raised before so i am just asking now?
This would stop players leaving mid game cos the chance of a run out has passed?

Could cause a problem Stubbsy though mate of people just quickly taking a break potting and game on! Without the other player being able to do anything. Maybe 2 could be better i dunno still prefer 3 at the mo. Nice point made anyhow.

Yeah ste ur right m8,
Maybe an icon could be added so both players agree to play prior to commencing.
But thats probably too much work, and why change something that isnt broke...
THANX

Yeah smashing idea just lacks incentive . Yeah a added icon could work but again the fuss of two people agreeing together would cause chaos in some cases !hehe

GREAT idea about having a "game on" button.
The 3 ball rule is severely abused and incredibly frustrating.
I really cant see the problem with it being reduced to one ball though.

this is a really good point as its one every user has an issue wit one or another. i think 3 is a fine number but what i dont like is the automatic re racking.
i remember when i first started on here, the user clicked an icon that re racked the balls after each game.
someone earlier sed about both players havin to click an icon to "agree" to play...maybe this re rack button could be implemented into that?
ste4eva...if one player has a problem then they simply leave the game and find one they actually want to play in.
the point of this is to enable users more choices......the choices that are taken are up to the user

ive always wanted this put into place as theres nothing more annoying than somebody leaving midgame if theres a chance of 7 balling or a runout.
The only problem i can see is that if somebody wanted to leave after the game and there opponant broke and potted just as you left you'd lose rank.

This is where the "agree" button (like *ahem* yahoo pool) would work fine. People would have to commit to a whole game, and the number junkies wouldnt loose out to a quick break.
The other option is a 20sec delay before break to give people a chance to leave if they want..

Oh well stubbsy, not looking too good for anything coming of it!
I've had a few fellow players say that the delay before break idea was a good one. Any comments from "da management" regarding that?
It woud do away with the need for the 3 ball rule altogether and then everyone would be happy!

This is another area we hope to improve at some point, but at the moment we have to prioritise our premium options and US 9 ball.
Some good suggestions above, and when we get round to looking at this area, we will certainly take them on board.

Thanks Simon.. yeah, dont delay the 9-ball!!!
I'd have thought the 3 ball rule would *have* to be scrapped in that game???
Hopefully i'll get my new comp in time to be able to play it at home when its launched!

The reason why the 3 ball rule was introduced was to prevent people who want to leave from being forced into a 2nd game, or from losing rating when the y leave and the opponent pots 1 from the break. (Which happens more often than potting 3).
Auto rack was put in place to make playing longer games more simple. It doesn't make a huge difference but I still think its better having it than not.
A 20 second delay would annoy the hell outta every one who wants to play more than 1 game at a time.
If auto rack is taken off i think that it should still be there for tournaments as they would take a long time without it.
