I believe so. John ran a 154 last year - which I believe was the highest ever in the challenge. Last year Corey ran a 153.
FWIW, I believe John has won the 14.1 high run award on Az every year that we've kept score.

Didn't Mika run a 160 at the DCC one year? Or maybe I'm thinking of a different tourny.
Yes Mika ran 160 at the dcc 14.1 challenge either last year or the year before.
does anyone know who won schmidt vs williams 14.1 and what the status of the tournament is?

I was gunning for Eckert to win as well as soon as Schmidtie got knocked out.
Eckert made some bad mistakes and poor decisions on a few patterns in the latter point in the match. I think he was just drained, and un-focussed.
Williams IMHO is not supposed to beat Eckert in 14.1 !
cant wait to get the DVD's so i can watch it again, the stream locked up on me several times at key points so i want to see what caused the outcome after i had to log back on to continue watching.

I didn't see anything to indicate that Danny was at DCC this year Steve.
Harriman was there. I watched some of his one pocket matches. Don't know why he didn't try the straight pool this year.
Marop had to leave early and was back in Simi Valley demanding updates. What could I do??
Actually, though I brought my little camcorder and recorded the back table, Elvicash, for at least the third year in a row, had much more professional equipment set up for the front table. He was doing this in 2008, when I first went down to the Derby and before I had met him. He got there early and set up the microphones, a mixer and all kinds of cool technogadgets that are beyond my ken.
Danny tried but did not qualify. He said he hadn't been playing 14.1 since the previous year and had been playing a lot of three cushion. At first he wasn't going to make any attempts but maybe his backer changed his mind. I think his high was in the 40s.
Steve: Elvicash has the score sheets and he is going to scan them for me.
I know on the first day, John got his high of 99 and the other three attempts were not very good.
On the second day he got maybe a 66 and miscued and then followed up with a 113. He did not make any more attempts that day. On day three I think he had about a 40 or 50 something and then followed up with the 156 and took no more attempts that day.
The dream match up would have been Schmidt and Eckert. They both had played well all week.
John was running away with it when he went for a combination that wasn't quite dead opening the door for Charlie Patterns to do his magic. Charlie will be the first to tell you he is no expert on straight pool but he shoots so straight he is always a threat and John said that going in.
As for the finals, they both uncharacteristically missed very easy shots, and made mental errors. Both of them seemed to forget that the other was on a scratch during the match. In fact, Ralph took a very tough shot with two balls on the table and Charlie needing two. Charlie was on a foul at the time and the proper response should have been an intentional, making Charlie have to break up the two balls.
I think fatigue, both mental and physical contributed to the play in the final match.
All in all though it was a good week that saw a lot of good runs on a Diamond.
I appreciate your efforts Dennis. It seems like the 14:1 is getting more time and attention. Certainly Accu-Stats is giving it more space and hopefully the DCC participants are comeing to the 14:1 room/tables. Since I couldn't make it there..AGAIN(!)... It was nice to see you, a friendly face... a familiar face, on screen.
About 10 or 15 minutes into the Eckert/Alex match Mark and Danny talk some about Sailor. I know he'd love to have a copy of that.... if you have a DVD or something.

Pat Fleming loves 14.1 and told someone they were his best selling videos and he wanted us on the tv table.
Unfortunately, the 14.1 room was tucked away far from everyone and everything and the room was not laid out in a way to be conducive to walk ups. It is something that Bob discussed with Mark Griffin and Greg Sullivan, and which, if not fixed, may cause the event to end.
Mark Wilson had brought up the name in previous years but he pushed a little harder this time and gave some more details. I spoke to Mark about it afterwards. I know Sailor will like it when he hears it.
