They are only over 12 minutes. It'll take the Bloke from Stoke most of that time to make a 7-break.

But 20 seconds first 5 minutes and 15 the second. Why is speed snooker so important all of a sudden?? It`s nonsense and tosh I`m sorry. The quality will be poor, and the whole thing will be turned into a circus. 10 mins with 25-30 seconds all the way would be acceptable, but 15...

gallantrabbit wrote:IMO 'blowing the game up' is great , but to go to 15 seconds a shot is OTT and completely unecessary. Showing the top 64 is fine but showing them missing is not and that's what will happen. Calm down Barry you're doing an absolutely terrific job, but you can be wrong as well. Bring on the Grim reaper why not.
PS he hasn't promoted speed darts has he yet, cos eyes will be lost...

Sonny wrote:As a one off I can see it's a bit of fun and will definitely tune in. A one off though, one weekend per year in what would otherwise be a free weekend. I prefer Power Snooker to any normal snooker with shot clock event. I watched the Premier League final but for me it really holds no status being crowned speed snooker champion. Who cares? The real stuff starts next weekend.
