Re: Anywhere in the `D`?
Good idea! However, the official rules cover that situation very thoroughly. When the cue ball is pocketed (or jumps off the table in real snooker), a free ball is called by the referee if and only if all the balls that are on are snookered from all positions from within the "D". That is, if you can...

Re: Accuracy
Hi, Check out the video about error margins, that could answer your questions. The break building video is also very useful. You can find them in the Videos section in the lobby. Main goals for cue ball positioning, break building: - short / medium distance between cue ball and object ball - straigh...

their best mate that they play a lot is a high level, so their rating doesn't improve much Actually, the ÉLŐ rating system does a good job even if someone plays only his mate. If that mate is higher rated, most of the games will be won by the mate but only a few points are awarded each time. From t...

On the other hand, it is perfectly all right to put players on your blocked list. If there is no problem with their game, ...

Re: Report a bug all the reds are now black
That looks weird, almost like one of Demon's tricks. ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
Was it a one time bug or does it happen from time to time?
If it happens again, please try to identify any unusual events before the bug, it would help us a lot to fix it.

Re: sound issue
Sorry for the bad experience. Although the sound is fine for most of the users, this issue pops up from time to time at some of them so it's time to find a proper solution. Perhaps by replacing the current sound library.
Thanks for reporting it!

Re: Time wasters
There are various preferences, it's impossible to find a single perfect setting for everyone. Most players prefer the no-timer setting, though, because it allows for the occasional phone call / postman / brb cases where the play can continue after a few minutes when the opponent returns. If you pref...

Re: Time wasters
Hi ALB,
That's the point of the shot timer! Set it to 30 or 60 seconds before starting a game or inviting someone. You can also set this timer as default in the preferences (top right corner in the lobby). That way the timer will be auto-set for you whenever you go to an empty table.

You're welcome. It's useful to look around in the lobby, click the buttons at the bottom. The SHORTCUTS button pops up a window with several useful tricks. The TAB key is also described there, click the CHAT COMMANDS button in the window. BTW, the INSERT key can be used to respond to invitations, too!

Hi acediast,
Thanks for reporting the bug! How often does this happen? Is there any event after which the bug appears? Something that could potentially trigger it? Please make a note about what you did before the bug happens in the future and let us know. It would help a lot to find the culprit!

Hi Nick, Good suggestion as it would make it easier to plan games against other players. However, I'm afraid most players would not fill it. Many players don't even reveal their country, which would determine the time zone in most cases. For big countries like Australia, you can always put a short t...

Hi, The basic idea is very good as it makes it easier to start playing. Once you get to the exact details, it gets quite complex, though. What happens if the invited player ignores the request?

Steve Davis! The Nugget! It was in 1991, the Mita World Snooker Masters, when I first saw snooker and it was fascinating.

The official name of that rule is "Foul And A Miss" and it is very accurately implemented in SnookerQ. The warning after two missed shots and the frame loss after the third miss, which sacko7 mentioned, are also part of this rule but they apply only if the ball on can be hit full in the face!

Re: Maximum Break Question
Great summay, Wizard!
One small note I'd like to add is that the foul by the opponent resulting in the free ball can happen anytime before a red is potted, it doesn't need to happen on the break-off shot.
