There have been just three sanctioned world 14.1 championships in the last 30 years. The event was not held from 1991-2005, but returned in 2006. I believe that the last sanctioned World 14.1 Championship was in 2008. Subsequent winners of the Dragon event which Charlie Williams inexplicably and inexcusably called the World Championship were not World 14.1 Champions at all.Very cool! What happened between 1991 and 2005?
Yes, that would be worth watching for sure. Count me in for the pay-per-view.We are working on a big 14.1 action match between two of the guys on this list.
John Schmidt "Mister 600" vs Thorsten Hohmann The Hitman
Both players have been contacted and are on board with the match.
They are talking about playing a race to 1500 over three days.
Hopefully all the details can be worked out and we get to see a great match between these two.
Ohh that is very interesting, I did a lot of research for this video but never came accross that fact!

A better name for the Youtube in the original post would have been "World 14.1 champions and some who weren't"
You could argue that the US Open in 2000 qualifies to be on that list if the criteria are significant world-wide participation and the strongest field that year in 14.1. On the other hand, some on the list don't belong in that group.Very cool! What happened between 1991 and 2005?
Agreed, Bob. I remember sweating a couple of matches with you at the 2000 event. Souquet topped an absolute killer field in that event. The 1999 American 14.1 Championships also featured a very elite field that included Steve Mizerak, Allen Hopkins, Dick Lane, Dallas West, Roger Griffis, and some other world beaters. George "Ginky" San Souci, quite unexpectedly, beat them all in that one.You could argue that the US Open in 2000 qualifies to be on that list if the criteria are significant world-wide participation and the strongest field that year in 14.1.
