Bobby, that doesn't seem like the smartest of strategies for now. While every moderately-informed 14.1 player does know that a record exhibition run falls into a different category than a record high run achieved in a 14.1 high run challenge event like yours, IMO at least until your event is totally and successfully completed. it doesn't seem sensible to be -- in effect -- waving a BCA-accepted accomplishment of 768 in front of players that are striving hard to surpass "smaller" (figuratively) numbers like Willie's 526 and John's 626.
Conceivably, 768 looks/could (mistakenly) look to some entrants (and the press) as the new standard against which they're going to be measured. Seems potentially and needlessly disheartening and daunting from the get-go for many of them. What's the point of doing it -- at least for now? The Cranfield project can wait a year . . . why not sensibly avoid putting shade on whatever the anxious and amped new guys are about to attempt for you and your very worthy event. And also thereby avoid a whole lot of questions, conversations, and explanations to the players (and to the media) about all the different categories of billiards record runs.
Arnaldo ~ Put 100% of your focus on the upcoming event you're doing. . . avoid confusion. Just my two cents.
