Replays - Content Shortcuts

Replays Window - Introduction

To load the Replays window, click on the "Replays" main menu item:



This is the Replays window home page:



From the "Search" tab, you can perform detailed searches.



Some searches could produce too many results which can make it difficult to find what you're looking for, so make use of other filters to narrow your search.

This is how the search results window looks like:



Each result list item has three buttons to the right; Play, Favourite and Copy.



Clicking on the Play icon will take you to the Replay table where you can watch the replay.

Clicking on the Favourite (heart) icon will add the replay to your favourites. To remove the replay from your favourites, simply click it again to unhighlight the button.

Clicking on the Copy icon will copy the replay address to your clipboard so you can share the replay link to others by pasting the link in the lobby or table chat.


Search Example 1:


A user called Yoda wants to search for all of his Pro century breaks. All he has to do is type his username into the "Username" text field, select "Pro Only" from the "Difficulty" dropdown and select "Centuries" from the "Breaks" dropdown (see image below).



After clicking the "Search" button, the list of century breaks he made will be displayed on the right.



Now, Yoda notices that he's made too many century breaks and wants to narrow the results down by only searching for the centuries he made in 2022 against a user called MaximumMan.

So, in the "Opponent" text field he types "MaximumMan" and from the "Date" dropdown, he selects "Custom". Two new text fields drop; "FROM" and "TO". In the "FROM" text field he enters "01/01/2022" and in the "TO" text field he enters "31/12/2022".



After clicking on the "Search" button, he should now see the Pro centuries he made against MaximumMan in 2022.



Search Example 2:


A user called Blowy wants to search for all of his fluke shots.

All he has to do is select the "Shots" replay type, enter his username in the "Username" text field and click on the "Fluke" keyword to highlight it green. After clicking on the "Search" button, he should see all of his fluke shots on the right.



Please note: shot replays are manually saved by users. To learn how to save replays, please click here.


Top Lists

Here, we have listed a collection of some of most iconic replays ever.

From the left panel you can browse through the lists.



My Favourites

In this section, you can view all your saved replays.



Replays are divided into three different categories (Shots, Frames and Matches) to make them easier to look through. You can also add, change, or delete notes for the saved replays. The notes are hidden at first, but you can show them by checking the 'Show Notes' box. All notes are private and only you can see them.




Replay Settings



Allow others to view your aiming lines?

Users who view replays of your gameplay to be able to turn on aiming lines if they want to. They will also be able to see your power bar and cue ball dot placement.

If you wish to keep your aiming lines private, then choose "No".

Showing shot preparation by default?

When viewing a replay, you can skip or show the shot preparation. Not showing the shot preparation means that all waiting time in between the shots will be skipped. Only the shots will be shown.

By default, the shot preparation is skipped.
