"Above is an exact scale drawing of a full size snooker table."

"Exact scale drawing of a snooker table."

So I put both the table images above overlayed on top of another and they are accurate, the pink spot is in the exact same position when you maintain the aspect ratio.

So here's a comparison to the VP4 table, cut out from the rails with no error:

The pink spot should be closer to the black spot than it is now.

According to the rules, the pink spot should be at the exact centre of the top half of the table, so VP4 needs to get that adjusted.

Btw it was wrong in VP3 as well.

Yes Alin you are correct.... the Pyramid Spot (known as the Pink Spot), located midway between the Centre Spot and the face of the top cushion;

Im suprised nobody notice it in vp3 all this time... LOL I guess Stub's win dont count......The table doesnt meet table requirements :) :)

The error seems to be exactly one ball length... basically the pink should be where the top red is now.

Wow that's a big issue, we are all used to pot from the current spot...
It seems the pink spot should be right on the link of corner pocket and middle pocket, or as level as the second diamond of cushion when view from the side of table?

Funny how it's always been there and nobody noticed.
This will be fixed, probably with the next patch.
