FIX THE RULES !

[microbiotic]

The thing is that HK does not recognize snookers very well. When theres no direct hit, the miss rule should not be applied.

Agreed.

Nice work!

And the official rules of snooker - thankfully there are no regional variations on this game - are at the site of World Snooker (formerly World Professional Snooker and Billiards Association):

Got a message back from VooFoo on twitter after spamming them with the rules thing, and they told me they were working on a patch to fix it !
Finally, hope they do it right...
Fed up with losing a match when you're way ahead, and your opponent lays a snooker and makes advantage of the poor implemented miss rule.

Hi,

As Microbiotic has already stated - we have indeed done some work on the rules and hope to have the update released in the near future. We've tackled the rules that most people on this forum have complained about so hopefully, you guys and everyone else will be happy!

When we have an exact release date, more news and specific details will follow!

Cheers,
John

I'm glad the rules are finally being corrected.

I'm glad the rules are finally being corrected.

Hmmmm...

When, pad in hands, i'll see that "cushion rule" is really effective, I will be happy.

Until that, I still hope.

Don't play much snooker myself but i played someone the other day and he was beating me by around 50 points, i snookered him, He played a beautifully executed swerve shot and hit the red but it said he had fouled, second time he did miss it and the third, he played it perfect again and managed to hit it again without any fouling whatsoever yet it said he had and i won the game, i can only imagine how my apponent felt about such a poor decision.

Had the same thing recently.
I was snookered, got around with a swerve shot, but i got the message that I fouled with a jump shot. I didnt jump over any ball.
Sometimes snookers are given when the white is right in the open, and sometimes full ball snookers arent recognized.
Hope the next patch solves these things.
