I voted 'take it or leave it.' It isn't even interesting enough to hate it.

Take it or leave it. Frames are too quick, too much room for luck. Martin didn't survive the round robin.

It's a money maker for the players, that's about it.

Yeah fully agree, much prefer the World Cup in Thainland than this piece of crap, pity it's a 2 year event though

Easily the best offshoot of snooker. It's better than Power Snooker, but then I've had bouts of food poisoning better than that. Beats the abyssmal World Cup and Premier League. The only problem is how easy it is to make total clearances. Selby, Trump and Murphy were making them for fun yesterday. The reds are almost all split after the break off, and if you cannon the last red stuck to the pink,you win the frame.
With all these sped up varieties, I think we need to mix it up with some longer format gimmicks. 21 reds anyone?

how about 40 reds.......with 5 on each rail from the break off and 30 in the triangle. I think it could catch on.

Can't really give an answer as I'm somewhere between 'loved it' and 'take it or leave it' ... enjoyed what I saw of it, rather fun but not to be taken too seriously I guess, and i think it enriches snooker having this sort of variation from time to time.

i think variations is Great and as you say enriches it but then you have people thinking hmmmmmm no rolling in behind the balk colours wouldn't that be better in the Real Game..
why cant people just enjoy it for what it is without thinking Lets change Snookers Rules.
