SNOOKERS REQUIRED UNDER THE PLAYER SCORE

How about snookers required under the scores based on remaining objects balls so that the player can see what is required to catch up or concede the match if too far behind.

This is a good idea but a big part of snooker is mathematics. Trying to figure out what you need and how to achieve it is a good challenge in itself. We already have the points deficit displayed in red text to show you how many points are required to get back into the frame which is helpful enough.

Thanks for your suggestion, JTB!

LETS HAVE A LOOK!

If the program knows what balls are left on the table surely its a case of multiplying the reds remaining by 8 + 27 for possible points remaining.

take both players scores (leading - lagging) and if there's enough points no snooker required else the difference between the remaining points - the difference between players points (divided by mod 4 for lowest foul) should give you an indication of snookers required.

Something along those lines.

I didn't mean that we don't know how to calculate it

I meant, having something for the players to work out for themselves is a good thing. It's an extra challenge for the players, just like in real life.
