Thoughts? Personally I quite like watching a nice tactical frame that goes on a bit, but they might become a thing of the past with less balls on the table.

Just another example of a sport "dumbing down" to attract outsiders and make money?

Have they just watched an old repeat of Big Break???

I think they should leave it as it is you either love it or hate it and i dont think changing it will make any difference whatsoever

could be good to have 1 or 2 tournaments played this way. instead of highest break prize perhaps have a prize for quickest full clearance (as they did on big break )

perhaps players could come in to the arena with the theme tune going as well

and each pocket could represent one of the colours and the colour would be worth double points if pocketed in it's particular pocket

and that bird referee could wear something very revealing to spice the game up a bit

BIG BREAK![/i

Always a bit suggestive, I felt.

This does actually sound as though its a petition to bring big break back

Jim Davidson, John Virho and Alex Higgins to present it. Superb!

Im all for exploring diffrent ways to boost the profile of the sport but hasnt something simailer been tried before?

as far as I know, the only thing they have tried is having the shot clock in the Premier League i.e. play the shot within 25 seconds or forfeit.

So what would be the maximum break?

Ronnie's match might be finished within half an hour, but McManus will still be at the table after a couple of days, no matter how many reds there are.

Why does the WPBSA want to attract those with the attention span of a gnat anyway? Snooker is not purely about potting is it; it is also about positional play and manoevring the balls around the table. There is also a mental aspect.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. By all means have some 'entertainment' events as well, with rapid events or trick sessions, but not at the expense of the bread and butter.

Be careful what you wish for. More money seems to ruin a lot of sports.

Not sure on this idea tbh, i thought having 15 reds was ok as its good to see players go for 147's and century breaks and i also dont mind a tactical battle now and again

Think 6 reds is far to short and frames could be over in 5 minutes, i think 10 reds would have been ok, Hopefully it will be a success

Exactly. It's a load of toss aimed at the new breed of Briton with a pitiful attention span.

Bring back Philip Schofield and Tenball!
