Cash Tournament: Tigger & Best_Peace Tribute

12 JULY 2022

The SnookerQ community sadly lost two very much respected members in recent months. Tigger (John Williams, passed away on 10 November 2021) and Best_Peace (Keith Horobin, passed away on 3 January 2022). They both joined SnookerQ in the pre-beta testing phase of the game and gave us a lot of time and feedback during the early stages of launch. They will be missed by all. Rest in peace.

Date and time: 16th July 2022 (Saturday), 5pm UK Time

It's a Pro tournament, open for all players.

Full reset of stats and ratings

2 JUNE 2021

With the new version released yesterday, the early test phase is over. Many players were consulted about resetting or not resetting, partly resetting, resetting only the stats but not the ratings and other options and the outcome of these discussions were that the majority of the SnookerQ community wants a fresh start. So we did it.

Good luck, everyone and enjoy your games!

  • Claim frame button: when the opponent is too much "in minus", that is, when the number of points left on the table is not enough to come close to the player in front within the auto concede limit, the concede button turns into a "Claim Frame" icon, a green check mark, which, when clicked, will instantly win the frame for the player in front. We can finally say goodbye to the ugly intentional miss to win the frame.
