Let's go for class, instead of the "we know it's crap but it's just a bit of fun for charity" attitude.<br /><br />As for the Premier League, I think shorter matches and a lower time limit are a mistake. I don't see the need for tweaking the format. Currently there are 7 players and 24 matches in total, but with ten players they could go with two groups of five giving us 23 matches in total. They could even play one group in Britain and the other in Germany. Four frame matches and 20 seconds are too short on both counts.Betty Logannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-11899426904072620552011-04-19T13:04:27.676+01:002011-04-19T13:04:27.676+01:00I welcome the extra players for the Premier League...I welcome the extra players for the Premier League, and obviously understand the need to shorten the matches in order to get 3 matches for each evening. All this is fine. The qualification criteria is clear or even brilliant. <br /><br />And I don't mind the 20 second shot clock instead of 25, but that should really come with some clarification about the amount of timeouts because it'd obviously need tweaking. I'd definitely introduce separate "rest shot timeouts", so you could have unlimited amount of rest shots without the need of hurrying. Of course, this must be implemented with a twist. Once you get the rest on the table, and the timeout is on, the player cannot change his mind then and he has to use the rest even if he found a better alternative that wouldn't normally require a rest.<br /><br />All in all, I'd say 20 second shot clock without tweaking some other rules would be a bad joke indeed.<br /><br />Even though I like the original Snooker Loopy and find it a hugely inspiring record, I'm very sceptic about any "remixes" on at least 500 levels. Or even more. :)porridgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-15490924948450013232011-04-18T22:34:34.020+01:002011-04-18T22:34:34.020+01:00Also, will the premier league become a ranking eve...Also, will the premier league become a ranking event now?<br />_______________________________<br /><br />the PL is more of a joke now so what do you think ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-35774960642326106562011-04-18T20:56:55.600+01:002011-04-18T20:56:55.600+01:00of course not ALIof course not ALIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-46401734889549570752011-04-18T19:02:36.246+01:002011-04-18T19:02:36.246+01:00Also, will the premier league become a ranking eve...Also, will the premier league become a ranking event now?alinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-39658359872713718682011-04-18T19:01:59.018+01:002011-04-18T19:01:59.018+01:00Superlative, Barry.
