could it be better to make the points change after a ranked match not only dependant on the opponents rank but also on how many balls the opponent has left?

should a 7-balling be worth the same as a foul on the black?

post your opinions here

Excellent idea! Say 0.1 per ball?

Shouldnt be too hard to code either.. Nice one!

I think you should still win the same amount, but add on the right amount depending how many balls are left.

e.g. i get like 2.45 rank, but i won by 4 balls so plus 0.4 as well.

I think it should be 0.2 per ball though

I like it, but do you think it will cause defensive play?

Ppl may well play more cagely, and take less risky attacking shots, if they stand to gain more points by their opponent not potting.

Yeh sounds good, and only 0.1 gain for a golden break win, and dont lose ranking if u get golden breaked. Most annoying thing is losing 6 points on a golden break

im not so sure apart from a golden break a win is a win no matter how much you win by and therefore should be rewarded jst the same

I quite like this idea aswell

It would reward those who've played well.

I dont think it would cause defensive play because a player losing might think that (s)he needs to go for a few pots in order not to lose by too many balls.

And yeah i think you should just keep the changes as they were but just add 0.2 ish for every colour ball the opponent has left.

to 'motivate' the opponent maybe a less grave deduction for every ball aswell?

I think it would make players be less defensive, i'd go for 7 ballings constantly.

lol i made this thread so long ago but nothing ever changes from suggestions on forums

And if you get defeated by a golden break you lose half the points you would lose if you lost normaly!

get a +1 bonus for a run out, 0.5+ bonus for a 7 balling.
