This is strikingly accurate.

Looks great ^ im Very pleased to see Arcade introduced as its fun to play and we should use all types of pool in clans . Well done

You are forgetting minigolf huts.

I wouldnt class minigolf a type of pool eri lol

For me 9 Ball Arc shouldn't be included, guys like craig and huts will moan at me but pretty much 4/5 its a break and clear for person breaking and over in less than 60 seconds in most cases, overall less than 10 minutes so whats the point coming on to play for 5-10 minutes to log out again? I come on to play pool and i admit longer the competition the more motivation i have which i have a real lack of motivation and drive to play.

8 Ball Arc i could bare as it has a potential tactical element but usually over in 2 minutes so thats still around 15 minutes.

I know i'm moaning but i prefer a game what takes at least 30 minutes as feel to have been on long enough for a competitive format.

If your sticking to Team Count then maybe a format like this?

US8 Arc x 16 Frames (or 12 if 16 is High but 16 would make a League type setting)
US9 Arc x 16 Frames (or 12 if 16 is High but 16 would make a League type setting)
US8 x 8 Frames
US9 x 8 Frames
UK8 x 8 Frames
Straight x 4 Frames

At least i would want 9Arc removed as a compromise but not sure if i want to play Arcade, If my Captain chose not to enter FBL due to Arcade then i wouldn't find an FBL team but if i got subbed into Arcade then i would still try despite not enjoying the format.

I want Mini Golf included, lowest score wins the frame

If you introduce the Arcade types could you also please implement a rule that allows me and my opponent to decide each frame via coin flip - To save us the trouble of arranging the fixture?

+1 .. It will become the Mickey mouse cup of everything.

We may as well just scrap the FBL and have 2 leagues if you're going to put arcade in it. I seriously wouldn't even want to play in the FBL if it included arcade types.

Straight takes skill. Even Craig can run out on the arcade tables, and he is the most defensive style player you could ever play.

No to arcade!

Your all acting like your being forced to play arcade, you only need 2 people to play it, it's not that bad really.

You were acting like you were being forced to play straight.....

I can just about justify it being in as its a valid mode, but six frames? People were begrudging more straight frames as it takes too long but are okay with six frames that will take all of a minute?

I dont have alot of time for clans at the moment so a minute of arcade would be better than an hour of straight.

The only Place in which u can Include Arcades should be the GSC.
Replace one of the FCL games with 8 ball arcade and 1 of the SL games with 9 ball arcade.

16 frames of 8ball arcade
20 frames of 9 ball arcade

Arcade in FBL is just silly in my opinion.

He's trying to keep one league that optimizes the chance of upsets though, by keeping it short. and it's not currently team match count, it's indiv match count.
I see the point about arcade being so short though, we do have less straight because it's so long.
How about:
8arc: 6
9arc: 8
8us: 6
9us: 6
8uk: 6
str8: 4
or to make it even more even on time spent in each type,
could make 9arc: 10, and 8arc and 9us: 8
if that's not getting too long for upsets.

true in most cases im guessing 9Arc will be a draw or edge a win whatever format is added but when i posted i wasn't thinking about upsets or top clans etc.

at one point i played from either 10 am or 12 pm until the moment i went to bed, back then it was around 12:30 am, only breaks would be food, thats back when site was booming, rank meant something, tournaments meaningful and i had my pick on players to play.

in the present i last a maximum of 30-45 mins in practice and if i don't have anyone to play, then i find something else to do. Normally see only a few friends on at a time. Until the site becomes how it was, booming i don't think i will have the motivation to play much so form suffers. The League keeps me going more than anything and the Arcade games if i had to play would feel meaningless unless it had a format which lasted at least 20-30 minutes.

As it was this season we had:
FCL: 8 indiv matches in one team match
FBL: 8 "
SL: 5 "

I believe the new idea is:
FCL 8 "
SL 8 "
FBL 6 "

So we'll actually have 1 more indiv match than we used to.

Just remember more matches = more potential defaults

A change by one, in the league that demands the least players.......
more defaults?........I disagree

Bit gutted Arcade is being implemented

Maybe, Maybe not but on Snooks every team is struggling with 10 per team, last set we had 5 active out of 6 games and only got one default.

Pool is more popular of course so less risk of obscurity

Join the queue! lol
