Does everyone agree that there should be an option that we can turn on/off, to nominate a pocket prior to playing the black ball? Theres nothing more frustrating than losing to a fluke on the black!
Is this alot of work for the 'mods' or can it be acheived easily? Let me know what you think, cheers, ST_GEORGE

firstly st. george id like 2 comment on ur name, ok now dat that is done,.....o wait i 4got wot i was gonna say

a good idea m8

a great idea

i know this should be in another post but i think we should get nick to have a vote option in certain messeges .. admin can put it there ... then people can vote yes or no to an idea put forward ... i agree fully with this idea there fore i could vote yes

ALL FOR IT M8 i agree about the fluke part too .. but when you fluke it off the black your happy ... they feel like you do

Good idea, but what would happen if you potted the black in a different pocket to the one you nominated?

u lose, just lik the real ting........or mabe ur opponent has 2 try the same shot??? wit 2 attempts mabe

Have a bonus for games where its named, you decide whether its a name pocket game b4 the game begins. Would be an extra option on top of friendly + ranked. Could have a bonus percentage of the normal winnings for winning a named black game. Say 10% extra on top of the normal points, this would work simular to edge modification bonuses/reductions however it would apply to all. Could have a maximum bonus of +1 for example.

i like this idea too.

If the ball was to not land in the chosen pocket, then it should be re-positioned for the opponent.

Just to clarify, i believe this is only a good idea as an option If it was put into place for all matches funkypool would lose its funkyness

Its an official 8ball US pool rule, that you have to nominate the pocket.

I thought it was as well, but when I imported the rules into the game it didn't seem to be there.

Rules are based on the BCA rules:

nah we will keep them the same, this is funkypool, not normal pool

nice idea would be alright like squeezy mentioned as an option, nothing worse than pulling off a great shot only to be called a fluke....

hmmm rules have been changing around lately, not only in UK8 ball but in US ball aswell, well so it seems

i think its a good idea but nick has the final say

Just voicing my support for this, though please not as an option, there are already too many of these! Just make it a funkypool rule and thats that!

Make st_george a Mod - what a great idea!!!!

great idea

Why not just make it an optional feature when creating a game, would also be a great addition?

Nominate pockets; All, 8 / 9 Ball, None

This nominate pockets could be a drop down box like selecting the game to play?
