the funniest thing happened to me this morning. i worked my way past some hard games to the final where i faced 6pac_jay who i have never played b4 but knew itll be a tough opponent. he made a few mistakes in the 1st 2 games which i won then h took the 3rd game to make it 2-1. this is where the unexpacted happened. i got a golden break to win the tournament 3-1. at the time i found it hillarious but when i looked back i think it is such an unfair way to win. golden breaks should count as a loss not a win or just make a re- rack in tournaments when this happens.

yes i agree, they are getting too easy for people now. golden breaks in the real game counts as a loss, except in 9 ball of course

Golden breaks may count as a loss in some sets of UK 8ball rules, but we need something to put the "funky" in funkypool!

Exactly. They should stay.

should stay if u feel bad about it dont use them... i use the break all the time except against friends in tournies we have a deal not to use it agianst eachother to be fair

they should stay and you should be recognised for them but............. and a big but............... they shouldnt be a win or a lose. just put down on ur record.

i think wat u said spt was very noble considering the situation, well said m8, and congrats on the win albeit fair or not, in ur opnion
im neither here nor there on the GB rule im happy with whatever goes

this golden break issue has came up countless times, not everyone will agree with removing the golden break from funkypool, not not everyone will agree with leaving it as it is. there are more pros then cons for keeping the golden break.


if it aint broke done fix it!

yeah but surely its a crappy way to win a tournie it should be a re rack on a tournie leave it like it is else wehere
