Miss Rule

“Dear Member
Miss Rule
Following the success of the Ceasarcasino.com Snooker Shoot Out a large number of players have approached me regarding changes to the miss rule.
We realise that this is not a decision to be taken lightly, which is why we wish is canvas your views as to whether this rule should continue as it is or if there is sufficient agreement in principle amongst the players to delete or amend this rule from the rulebook in the long term and for the benefit of snooker worldwide.
We would like to obtain players initial feedback on a number of opinions prior to any decision being taken.
Consultation on the miss rule will not be a quick process. Therefore we have started with a simple tick box sheet. Please complete and return noting your views and opinions.

Miss Rule Consultation
1. Retain the miss rule as it is – YES / NO
2. Abolish the miss rule in place of the following:
for all fouls or failing to hit the ball on:
a. Ball in hand in the “D” Only
b. Ball in hand with a free table
3. Ball in hand with a free table after 3 misses have been called
4. I would be willing to trial amended rules for one ranking event.
5. Any other comments”
