I am trying to see what can be done about the foul and a miss rule .this rule was brought in to ensure that a player snookered played to the best of his or her abliity to hit the ball on. however I believe that it has now been taken to far.The professionals may be good enough to get out of seamingly impossible snook but what about the grass route players and especially those who are just not good enough or are beginners. in some games I have seen 28 and more points being given where players have not been able to get out of a snooker.in the normal run of the game 7 points was the maximum you could give on a foul. Ok we can't play with out this rule but we can use common sense and bring in a fairer method of points and a maximum of points given lets say no more than 3 attempts when snookered thats 12 points if you don't hit any higher valued balls in your attempt to get out of a snooker. I see a lot of points being given against division two players when playing the better division one players because of the skill factor and its no good saying the referee should judge the ability of the players because he then has to play with two different sets of ruling and that will always cause trouble I hope the persons that made this terrible rule can now sort it out and bring back sanity to the game. And the other point is in my league we have fewer referee's because nobody wants to be a referee because of the problems that this rule has brought about, any body got any good idea's on a fairer way to use this rule
