what about a time limit on straight can that happen

No, I am not limiting playing time for members, each has their own style of play and some take longer than others, I shall allow them unlimited time to complete a match in order to accommodate the safer playing members.

Runners keep saying "this has always been a rule". That is no argument at all.

Why is it there?
We can swap while the player is still in, but can't put them in the other game type when he's out?

It just makes no sense lol

People will complain if I change too much in one go so prefer not to change another rule that really doesn't need changing as it hasn't really been an issue before.


totally agree jemma
why change it youve allowed 3 swaps it was always one

just because a team is running low on players other teams shouldnt be penalised

youve 16 players utilise your team

you have another 8 players, subs and 3 swaps

whats the problem, there isnt unless your team has 8 or 9 regular players

why bend a rule thats been there for ever to suit people learn to adapt

I don't see how a time limit could be implemented.
I do think people should stop at 35 out of respect for their opponent (he/she's waiting) unless it's the last game.

OK again, IF people have suggestions can they please not wait until the season has started before posting them on the discussion thread, there was a whole month between seasons so don't expect me to start discussing rule changes now.

As for the subs rule, I stand by the fact it has been in since day one and it's not broken so I am not fixing it. 8 successful seasons of this rule being used and now you decide it's not working even though there are no ongoing incidents of it affecting games.


Actually jem we had a trial and I discussed this with you and you never got back to me...

And as I said to you, I took your comments on board but I felt the points made by Seb and beenjammin made perfect sense.

fair enough. Not very good prevention of problems though, particularly since the rule serves no purpose at all.

Also, I brought this up several times before in previous seasons.

haha you have no sense of humor- that's the problem. Mine was also a joke, but you got offended very easily.... again.
To the point- no set of straight games should ever take 80 minutes.

it comes down to captains managing their assets

if youve got 16 players whats the problem.....

however if youve got 10 active players your bound to want the rules changing in your favour

no hand bags here just facts

Once again to the point which you cant comprehend straight pool tourneys give a 20 minute time limit.
4 games of straight pool which take 20 minutes is 80 minutes.
Okay do I need to make this easier for you to understand?

All right, I'll explain it to you again slowly.

20 minutes is the MAXIMUM time they're giving for a straight game. That means no game should realistically take longer than that. An average time would maybe be 12 minutes. If your games are taking close to 20 minutes, you're in serious danger of being DQ'd out of a tournament for being terrible!! That also means you should not be playing the straight games for your clan.

What does the league have to do with tournaments anyway?

You are aware that I'm not speaking about you personally, but about people who play straight in general yes? I don't care how good you are at straight....
Is this some sort of amateur hour?
