You play a long slow deadweight red to a corner pocket. As it approaches the pocket, a kamikaze woodlouse crawls out from under the cushion and makes its way across the table, conflicting with the path of the red precisely at the point the red gets there. The red, needless to say, veers off course, and the future of the woodlouse is uncertain. - The Statman

Or do you man 3 of these aswell?

Superb answer Mitsuko.
And do you have a pet ape on your lap?
So here is the table after Round 6:
Pos. . . . . . . . Points . . . . . . Person
1 . . . . . . . . . . . 2 . . . . . . . elvaago
2 . . . . . . . . . . . 2 . . . . . . . The Statman
3 . . . . . . . . . . . 1 . . . . . . . Mitsuko
4 . . . . . . . . . . . 1 . . . . . . . rambon
(We will assume the same principles as in the snooker quiz, whereby you go straight to the top of your new points total to avoid tied positions.)
ROUND SEVEN

ROUND SEVEN
Starting with a short word, add two letters to the front, each time making a longer real word.
For example, you could start with ACE, and make it into PLACE, then REPLACE, then FIREPLACE.
However, the above example would not be permissible because you MAY NOT simply add 'un-' or 're-' etc. to an existing word unless the meaning changes beyond the normal meaning of the prefix. So, for example, you could not just make DONE into UNDONE or VISIT into REVISIT, but you could make LATE into RELATE (because RELATE doesn't mean 'late again') or IONIZED into UNIONIZED (because UNIONIZED can mean unionized 'formed into a union' as well as unionized 'not ionized').
Can you find a string of FIVE words (including the shortest word)?
Normal rules on eligibility of words apply, i.e. in Chambers online or rhymezone.com, not requiring capital letter or any punctuation.Comment

I'll give you a clue: the word I started with in my string of 5 is 'ting'.Comment

ROUND EIGHT
There is a rare word in the English language, chikors, which is the plural of chikor, a Cypriot bird similar to the French partridge. It is unusual in that it is the longest word to contain no repeated letter, in which all the letters are in alphabetical order.
It does have a sister word, which contains seven different letters arranged in reverse alphabetical order. What is the word?Comment

Hmm, it has got to be somthing ending with -ed...Comment
