... put reds along black cush and balls along length ways then calculated it That's a pretty good strategy to start with. You must have made a mistake in the calculation, though, as the number you posted is much too large. As you will see, this method will not yield the correct answer because you a...

It looks like you have to battle against the Windows operating system to allow you running an app. Hopefully, when the released executables get the proper digital signature / certificate, everything will be much smoother. Your summary about the workaround is very good and as you said, it might help ...

Hi, It's not possible now but it may come in a future release. What you can do now is go to a table, maybe even in the tournament lobby where fewer people can see your name in the list, and select Private table from the drop down list. You can also select Do not disturb mode in the lobby before you ...

Hi Lines_Lupin,

You are absolutely right! I had the same thoughts when we introduced this name.

However... I did some research and found WPSA's Players Are Championshiping tournament. If they at WPBSA don't use an apostrophe, why should we? So we chose the simple form.

The "3D Free View" topic in the tutorial mode explains the basic controls: middle mouse button (mouse wheel) drag: rotate and tilt te view right mouse button drag: move the camera mouse wheel: zoom in / out It is also possible to do all the above with the left mouse button and keys: SHIFT + left mou...

The ALT-1 key or the /1 chat command places a new red on the table in practice mode. You practically have an unlimited number of red balls, 15 of which can be on the table at any given time. Click the Shortcuts button in the lobby to see what other tricks you can use. I assume the reported situation...

The screenshot says "Foul and a miss", which indeed indicates that another ball was nominated, not the one you hit. Probably it was the black you hit, so you got 7 penalty points. I believe it is the same bug but you didn't notice the blue being nominated.

Hi, There is a bug where coming back from POV view with right mouse button click can unintentionally nominate a colour, usually the blue, which is at or near the centre of the table. If this happens and the player does not notice it, hitting another colour will be a foul. This bug will be solved in ...

Awesome!

I wonder if this rap is going to be as popular as the Snooker Loopy was in the 1980's.
Soundtrack, please!

BTW, did you know that they included SnookerQ in the Snooker Loopy song?

Hi Nicholas, As you can read on the rankings page of the website, our ratings are based on the Élő rating system , which has been widely accepted and used in many sports and online games throughout the world for several decades. We respect your opinion but it's unlikely that we'll introduce severe c...

Hi Niccolo, Again, you are bringing up a good point! Thanks a lot for these ideas, this is exactly what we need to evolve the game and make it better constantly as we go on. This issue is slightly more complex than that, though. The point of view you mention is absolutely valid but at the same time,...

Hi Niccolo,

You are thinking about this very much like we did! The actual Qash prizes go up to $800 as the number of entrants rises.

Oh yes, the mouse wheel adjusts the shot power. Hopefully, most players know about that. What some players might not know is that SHIFT-mouse wheel is the fine grained adjustment of the shot power. CTRL-mouse wheel is also used: it adjusts the cue elevation angle! It's very handy to line up a hamper...

Hi Zorro, The need for getting more information about the inviter has been seen and we are improving it in the next release. The invite window will show details about the inviter and the bio window can be opened from there with a single click if even more details are needed. At the table, the icons ...

Hi Farid,

You can try to change the vsync setting to Off in Game Settings, with 60 or 50 fps. It brings good results for some players.

Discord server: A single click takes you there! Look at the lower right area in the lobby.

Hello rickymohk,

The game uses the cross platform OpenAL package for sounds, so the bug is probably in that layer. We will check if any fixes are available and lift it in the game.

Thanks for the report!

Hi Nick,

The shot time average is calculated as the fraction of the total shot time in the last 10 frames divided by the total number of shots. I have no idea how that simple operation can go wrong. Anyway, thanks for following it up. Let us know if something strange happens again.

Hi steveb, We created this game because we love the game of snooker and it is a great pleasure to offer it to people who like to play it, to play snooker, the finest cue sport of them all! We believe that by playing our game the users can be faced with similar situations as real professional players...

It's a Pro tournament, open for all players.

Details Sign up

Hi, Yes, at least four players were required to start the tournament. However, we have already learned from the practicalities so it has been changed: If less than 3 players enter, the tournament will be cancelled. This information will be presented on the details page and on the join page, too, if ...

Hi WitteChoco, We have had a couple of cash tourneys so far and they were indeed much fun! Those tournament were manually administered. Meanwhile we have implemented fully automated tournaments with registration and withdrawal, automated table setup and invitations even across lobbies and web pages ...

Hello Rockface66, The amount of RAM you reported is more than enough to safely use this game. If the problem persists, it may be a good idea to run a thorough memory test, though. In addition to that, the game has a certain CPU and GPU impact, of course. There is no external dependency other than la...
