Short answer: Yes, no doubt about it!
Long answer: A world 14.1 Championship today is nothing like it was back in the 70s-90s.
SVB has the skills among many who also have the skills.
True
Of the recent World 14.1, only those in 2006-2008, 2010 were considered World titles by WPA. Obviously WPA based that on certain criteria like strength of the field, minimum prizemoney etc.
Charlie's current versions fell short in terms of prizemoney , quality and quantity of field.
I mean if the prizemoney had being Level 1 USD300K and open worldwide with qualifiers like W9B, there will be 4 to 5 dozen top players worldwide who are favorites NOT just less than 1 dozen favorite like for this current event
So this current 14.1 should be labelled "Charlie's 14.1"
Charlie helps pool but labelling this event World 14.1 is false advertising :smile:

No, that's way off. Hohmann got $10,000 for first place last year.
With one mystery, here are the purses for the World 14.1 for the past 10 years (from the AzB tournament records, and if I added correctly):
2015 -- $37,000
2014 -- $54,000
2013 -- $54,000
2012 -- $52,000 or $44,000?
2011 -- $70,200
2010 -- $45,700
2009 -- $39,800
2008 -- $57,600
2007 -- $52,600
2006 -- $52,000
The mystery is for 2012, the year John Schmidt won. Under the records for each of the players finishing in the top 24 that year, there are two different entries for this event (with slightly different names for the event), with two different lists of the payouts -- one paying 32 places and totaling $52,000, and the other paying 24 places and totaling $44,000.
I don't know what the payouts will be this year. The field is smaller this year (48) than last year (56). Let's hope the purse doesn't decline again.
I have not tried to find entry fees and, therefore, money added for each of these events.
Must be that damn Cheqio...

At least he made it out of the round robin. He finished top 24. Not too shabby.

The $200K minimum Prize Fund and the $50K First Prize are guaranteed for the upcoming US Open 9-Ball Championships in Norfolk, Va. next month, October 16-22. Should be full with 160 players.

You are very badly mistaken..
my money would be on Germany
Yea I figured that after I typed it and saw the similaritys. Idk y I thought it was the straight pool that said it tho I thought I read it on the website
Either that or Shane just isn't very good at 14-1
SVB got 2nd place in 2014. Played extremely well!
