SnookerQ Forum

Can we change the shot time for the 10pm (UK Time) Tournament to 30 seconds. It is not enough time to make a shot. Its very frustrating and just wanted to see what others think. This time I am presuming is a popular time where a lot of players are around. Would it not be good to have more time for more players to play more natural snooker? Perhaps the 15 second can be at a less popular time.

I can't play 15 second shot time, its just not long enough even for quick fire club snooker.

For me 20 seconds would work.

Hi,

The 15 sec timer is definitely too quick for some players. In trickier situations it's too quick even for experienced players, too, but that's what makes the 15 sec games fun! Much more chance for a shot against better players, so lower ranked players have more chance to win.

The timing of the 15 sec tourney may not be ideal, though. Thanks for bringing this up, we'll see what we can do.

Enjoy your games.

Guys in another game we had the option of a 10 sec timer and that was hectic but a lot of fun and a great evener. At one point I had an average shot time of around 8 seconds, but I get that it's not for everyone.

Sideline on a 60 sec shot clock I am happy to go for a quick smoke and still get back in time to play.

Sometimes a fast game is a good game, and you have to go with your first thought which is usually the best thought.

Another sideline ever tried playing an entire game shooting at 100%. You have to trust the opponent is also shooting 100% but makes for an interesting game.

We had a 10 sec setting earlier but it was abused against new players too often so we removed it.

In the future, we'll have the official Shootout rules, so the 10 sec timer will come back in the 2nd five minutes of the game!

100% is also fun, Demon must enjoy it, too.

I do like 100% for a laugh.
