Quantity: hundreds. Quality: Too dull to present in real time? Good show.
lets hope you never view it.........we'd have to put you on suicide watch. lol.
You've assigned yourself the negative side of this debate and NOTHING will ever change your mind......so it would be pointless.
Jewett's word is good for me.
Goodbye on this one.

It took a month of editing time for the edited video to be presented to the two officials of the BCA-pool for certification. This in and of itself is a major no-no.
I've watched these and others threads from afar and its always the same people, saying the same things. Admittedly, I do find it odd that there aren't at least a few "high profile" pool people that have publicly vouched for the run in a way that would put these arguments to rest.
I would agree to that statement. Bob Jewett is a "stand up" guy. I think there are about 50 left in this country, lol. Anyway, presenting the evidence to be scrutinized, apparently, has been satisfied. I find it odd that this number of balls would be ran and everyone just go along with it for the sake of what? What has really been gained from all of this, if it is total BS? Occam's Razor applies here and I do think he did what he says he did.
Now, let's all go back to playing pool and thinking we are better that what we really are and everyone that beats us just gets lucky!

As an outsider with zero vested interest for either side, this baffles me.
Why would someone who seeks to claim the right to highest recorded run in any game. Subject the "proof" to editing prior to presenting it for recognition.
...and secondly.
Why would whatever sanctioning body be willing to accept an edited "proof" of the new record...?
I mean even Dr. Dave has some minimum guidelines to submitted videos for his contests. I'd hazard to say most of them are in an effort to help ensure the "proof" isn't edited.
FWIW... My high run went from 12 to 21 in just a few hours today. Figure if I keep close to that pace. This discussion will be moot in a couple of weeks

All I can say is that if its ever found out that the run and subsequent claims were bogus, it would be very hard for John Schmidt to show his face. Which actually leads me to believe that the run actually exists. Why would John ever put forth such a claim (when there still hasn't been a financial windfall) if it didn't occur? There are too many sharp eyes to get away with some video trickery (I work in audio/video production and am very familiar with what's possible)
I can't imagine JS going for a bamboozle like that. Not in this day and age. The sad thing is even with "proof" many of the same talking mouthpieces that comment regularly on the subject STILL wouldn't believe it, much less admit they were wrong.
For the record I want to believe its real, and until its proven otherwise Ill go with the idea that John did in fact run 626
Occam's Razor basically says the simplest of competing theories should be preferred to the more complex.
So let me ask you: what is the simplest explanation for unedited video of the run not having been released by now?
Lou Figueroa
The simplest explanation is that John has over(under?) engineered the marketing strategy. He thinks there is a lot of money to be made and I believe him when he says he is worried about losing control of the video once it is online. I disagree that it would impact his sales as much as he thinks, but I believe that is his concern. I think he is just trying too hard to maximize the potential sales of the achievement.
The alternative would require a conspiracy that includes the BCA and several others, including Bob Jewett. I do believe 626 balls were pocketed without a miss. I am surprised to learn that there wasn’t an OB foul though.

With all the stuff that has been said about this topic, did anyone see this run live? I know there were a handful of times I watched his attempts live via facebook and there were daily updates on the run count. I am sure this run had to be broadcast live as the other runs were so if that is the case, then in theory there should have been people watching during this.
Since the first day of the claim for js626, May 27, 2019, There has never been any claim made that the scrutiny was applied to the original unedited video. It took a month of editing time for the edited video to be presented to the two officials of the BCA-pool for certification. This in and of itself is a major no-no. ...
