Other accolades can be gained for achieving high snooker breaks, including a century break and the elusive 147 maximum.
If the player succeeds in winning a tournament they are awarded a trophy, with trophies for each of the nine variations of pool and snooker available. Since matches can potentially take a long time to complete, games may be saved at any point and resumed later using one of the numerous save-game slots. There are four rounds in total (first round, quarter-final, semi-final and final), and the number of frames played can be set anywhere from Best of 3 up to Best of 35. Progress is initially straightforward, but gets harder as weaker players are eliminated and more skilful opponents are encountered. Sixteen players compete in a tournament, and for this game mode opponents are dressed in formal competition attire.
The second part to Cue Club 2 is the tournament mode. When all the bars have been unlocked and the opponents defeated, the player is presented with the Bar Challenge trophy. After defeating all the opponents in a bar, the player is awarded a membership card to the next bar where the difficulty level increases. There are fifteen characters in total, complete with imagery, and dressed in casual clothing. The first is to complete the Bar Challenge, where the player chooses the game rules in each match and aims to progress through the stages by beating computer-controlled opponents one by one. Upon starting the game for the first time the player is required to sign in by entering their name, after which they are given a membership card to access the Basement Bar. The game is set in a fictional club featuring a range of themed bars and theatre venues, and each is host to a selection of unique opponents of varying difficulty. Players choose from a selection of game modes such as Practice, Single Player Quick Game, 2-4 Player, Tournament, Bar Challenge and Multiplayer mode.
There are three variations of snooker: a full game with fifteen reds, and shorter games with either ten or six reds. The rules of eight-ball, ten-ball and killer can be customised to reflect many variants in use around the world. Several game rules are available including eight-ball (including both US and European Blackball rules), nine-ball, ten-ball, six-ball, seven-ball, snooker, speed pool, and killer. Game control options include mouse input, keyboard, game-pad or a touchscreen device. Cue Club 2 can be played in either top-down view (2D mode) or a first-person view (3D mode).
