I find it a bit annoying when the person your playing breaks, but just feather touches the rack.

Isn't there a rule on this? (at least 3 balls must hit the cushions).

its rather annoying but best thing to do is do it back just 30 Min's later you will still be doing it

I think something should be done about it, i class it as a missing rule.

Maybe nick can have a look at this?

i doubt it'l change anything.. You'l get more people complaining about the 3 ball rule, saying they always foul etc. wud be a gd idea though.. although the game rules arent all that realistic, i mean.. if you foul, the other person get's 2 shots, and on their 1st shot, they can hit the wrong ball or even pot it, and it doesnt count as a foul lol. wots that all about :-P it's just a fun game

Yeah a free ball is a standard pool rule..

The real life rules:

EPA Rules : 4 Balls must hit a cushion or at least one be potted

BAPTO Rules : 2 balls must come back up the table into the baulk half or one be potted.

Both of these are obviously quite difficlut to code, and its not a major problem so i think it'll just stick to being Funkypool rules on the break for now

Awk well

I rarely get a moron feather touching the rack, but just thought i'd point it out nonetheless

To be honest someone feather touching the rack isnt a problem to me. Its just like getting the break but you also get an extra shot after it.....
