A number of times I have finished playing a frame of snooker and seen what my points will be next time and when I have logged on to play the next time I have lost a significant amount of points.
Could anyone tell me why this is and how I come out of a game at the end of a frame finishing without losing points as you can leave before three balls are potted on funky pool yet on this one I leave before a shot is taken by me and still lose points

as far as i know its a similar system to pool with a slight alteration...

in pool you can leave before 3 balls are potted, but in snooker you can leave until 3 shots have been taken.

this is how it works, but it actually doesnt answer your question as you say you left before any shots...

at least i attempted to answer it :)

Astill i think your correct.

blufloss, every day, people above a certain rank lose a set amount depending on how high their rank is. This is to encourage people to play, and to stop people who reach the top 'retiring' so they stay there.

The process is reversed if your ranked below a certain number, so that 'less skilled' players rank does not keep falling and falling.

To prevent player's simply retiring when they are top of the rankings a small amount is chopped of their ranking daily.

The rule is a 1 point drop for any user with a ranking over 850.0

However if your rank is under 850.0 then I don't see why you are losing rank, hope this helps :)
