Option to have a first to 10 game as well as a 5...so two options?

first to 5 games are way too short..since the players that can actually hit a 5 has increased loads in the past year or 2...thoughts?

or choice of points (friendly only due to rank being unbalanced) for example...

5
10
15
25
50

yeah 50 may be farfetched but both would have to agree plus you would get 3 or 4 chances as im sure dest, et and fuzz could not make a 50 run haha

Would love for this to be implemented, I agree the Carom games are way too short.. most players are of the ability where a 5 run is a walk in the park..

Think games to 20+ are a bit far fetched
But to 10 would be better as there is definitely a lot better players now.

I believe there was an issue with how rank would work. But I think 5,10,15,20,25 are all reasonable. 25 is only 7 or 8 innings each.

Would like this, maybe could also be a marathon Carom too with first to 10 maybe once a week.

Always think!! Think about where the balls will land when you play the shot...So you can put them in easy position for the next shot

Carom should have the option for different length matches, and seeing as the Carom tournament rarely lasts 45 minutes, surely making it best of 3 in the semis and best of 5 in the final would be suitable

What's the point in game in me making this thread. Clearly positive feedback yet no implementation, it wont be hard to have first to 10, for friendly.

Should just scrap the idea of change on this site, Funkypool's priority.
