Snooker Shootout

A timed, single-frame snooker format with a shot clock — built for fast, broadcast-friendly shootout competitions.

New "Shootout" match type when creating a match (any club that runs snooker). It's standard snooker scoring, played as a single timed frame.
Configurable clock — set the match length and a two-phase shot clock. Defaults to the World Shootout format: 10 minutes, with a 15-second shot clock for the first 5 minutes then 10 seconds for the rest.
Shot clock that runs itself — it resets automatically after every pot and every player switch, and speeds up for the final phase.
Countdown beeps and an expiry buzzer on the broadcast overlay and table view — the clock flashes red and sounds when it runs out, so the ref can call the foul.
Simplified ref scorer — balls, fouls and a big Switch player button, plus Start / Pause match and Reset shot clock. No stats, safety or break tracking to slow the ref down.
On-screen match timer + shot-clock ring on the overlay and the big-screen table view.

Tip: the buzzer is a cue, not an automatic foul — when it sounds, tap the foul value to award the points. Sound plays on the overlay / table view (OBS captures it); a normal browser tab just needs one click to unmute it.

Snooker shot stats

Live per-player shot statistics for snooker — see who's potting, who's safe, and who's missing.

Two new scoring buttons — Missed pot and Safety. Tapping a ball still logs a successful pot, so pot success % works it out automatically.
Long pot toggle — arm it before a shot to tag that pot (or miss) as a long pot, tracked as its own success rate.
Auto-derived safety success — a safety counts as successful if the opponent fails to score on the visit it hands them. No good/bad call needed in the moment.
Live stats panel on the scorer with match totals for both players: pot %, safety %, long pots, missed pots, balls potted and points per visit.
Shot history strip under the break/reds line — recent presses this frame shown as coloured ball icons (plus miss / safety / foul chips), newest on the right.
Stats on the broadcast overlay — a full-width bar under the score bar shows the player at the table (pot, safety, long), centred. Toggle "Shot stats on overlay" on the scorer to show or hide it; off by default for clean broadcasts. Snooker only.

Tip: use Missed pot / Safety instead of End visit whenever the player actually went for a pot or played safe — that's what keeps the percentages accurate.

Team & cup ties

Score a team or cup tie on total frames won across both tables — no per-frame points, just frames.

New "Team / cup tie" option when creating a snooker match. It relabels the two sides as Team A and Team B and asks for a "first to (frames)" target (e.g. first to 4).
Dedicated team scorer — a simplified screen with award frame to buttons and manual ±1 adjustment. No break, points or ball scoring to get in the way.
Auto-awarded result — the tie is won automatically when a team reaches the target, firing the winner banner on the overlay.
Clean broadcast layout — the overlay and table view show frames won with "First to N" in the centre, with no points, at-the-table arrows, break counter or ahead tracker.
Team ties are kept out of player standings and individual stats, since they're a team result rather than a head-to-head.

Tip: as each frame finishes on either table, just tap the team that won it — the overlay updates instantly and the tie ends itself when the target's reached.
