I played a few frames of scotch doubles after our match. I think it's a fantastic game. Made me concentrate a lot more on my positional play as I was leaving the next shot for my partner each time.
If wondered if there is a place for it in the league set up? |

It hasn't got a place as a seperate event but IMO the Doubles format in general is absolute wank so replace what we have with this and it will make it a whole load better . .
Myself and Kyle played Sean Halligan earlier this year . . We lost 2-0 and Rod only had one shot in the whole match . . I'm not saying that's wrong but it's an odd situation where by 'doubles' can be won with one player not even having a shot . . Would be a lot more interesting and funny if it was scotch doubles . .
For those not familiar with the format, instead of each pairing having alternate visits they have alternate shots . . You could end up playing an awful shot, snooker yourself and your partner has to worry about it  |

Instead of Scotch doubles, make it Scotch eggs and Mr Swettenham would be very interested !! |

You could make it Scotch Chair Legs and as long as you told Gary it was food he'd eat it! |

I think we should have mixed scotch doubles. Get the girls involved a bit more.
Could be interesting . . . |

Just cos noone wants to play with you! 
Seriously though weren't Rileys looking to sponsor a ladies event. A new mixed doubles comp isn't far off that . . . |

they're doing that on the 9ball team event on sky at the moment(scotched not mixed). it looks more interesting than normal doubles but makes it drag on a bit with chatting every shot... hence not an option for ladies doubles!!! |

Chatting in between shots is ryman . . It's much more fun if you keep the no talking rule . . You end up having to guess where you think your partner wants to be . . Otherwise you have the same scenario whereby one player can lead the other and use them in a 'puppet' manner . . |

Definitely no conferring but Paddington 'hard stares' should be positively encouraged! |

That just gave me horrible flashback to when myself and Jacko won the doubles back about 10 years ago . . In the final I kept missing really easy finishes and it got to a point where Jacko wouldn't talk to me and we stood in opposite corners of Frames for most of the match |
