Yes i completely agree it would make it easier to play because if there is pause u know there is no pressure on u to play a shot.

This could work, But definatly both players would have to agree, as if not then it could be a long game for opponent if they want to play with no pause.

Ash

perhaps a limited pause button say for a further 1 min and only 1 pause per match be it bo1 bo3 or bo5 

exellent idea , like Jaffa42 post
