JAYSON SHAW BREAKS 626!

Dude, you don’t need the Legends table specs to do it yourself. It doesn’t matter what their specs are. They are not the one’s that will ratify your world record run.

You have a right to information that will enable you to play on a table that is eligible to be recognized for a world record run. Absolutely. I agree. I can tell you, having emailed the BCA about this, that for them to ratify a world record, they require every single detail of the equipment used: ALL pocket specs, cue, chalk, table specs, balls, cloth, venue, date, time, etc. Absolutely everything. While they didn’t specifically say they use their BCA table specs when considering approval of a world record run, it was strongly implied when I asked if the table I used would be eligible. “That table falls within the BCA specs” (approximate quote).

So there you go. Go to the BCA table specs PDF and setup a table that pushes those specs to the absolute limit. If you do so, I suspect you’ll have a table that is very similar to the Legends table.

Do I have a legitimate reason this information shouldn’t be available to people who want to run balls under the same condition as the Legends table? Not for why it shouldn’t, but for why it isn’t: Legends have no obligation to provide that information to us. Once the run is approved, the BCA will have every single detail of the Legends table. You can then contact the BCA and request those details. I see no reason they wouldn’t disclose them. They replied to both of my email within hours.

That's pretty cool they replied. Wonder what they would say if we asked them for Schmidts table specs, or what would be even funnier if Legends already did that and they copied his specs and all this circles back... one can wonder...

Right? To be fair, I didn’t say I’m trying to settle some bullshit on AZB, but it was a genuine enquiry about setting up a table that is eligible for a world record run. Obviously I have no idea if Legends did something similar, but given the time, effort, and resources put into this event, I can’t imagine they were walking around with their d^&%’s in their hand leaving it to chance.
 
You guys complaining about pockets. How about if they use PEACH BASKETS instead of pockets. Could maybe then you could get to 100.
Bad form.

The only regular poster I've seen complain about the pockets is RKC. The rest of us just have honest questions about the pockets. Honest questions, that really rile up some people on a POOL FORUM where you'd think it would be acceptable to talk about such things.

This place is strange.

It would be hysterically funny if that is what was done and it turned out to be true. There would be a lifetime of shit sandwiches lined up for a few here to eat.

Don’t you know, it is NOT cool to ask honest questions, if it has anything to do with the pockets on this particular table! Any other topic, perfectly acceptable.

I wonder how long it takes the BCA to ratify a record, as you would think by now they have all the information needed right. I mean, imagine setting up an event and not checking out the requirements first to ensure any result can be verified, ratified and signed off on later. That would be a bit of an oversight...

Wonder when Joshua Filler gets his chance to break Shaw's 714 to set a NEW world record😉or did this event DIE the second John Schmidt's record was broke, and the table is now for sale, and there's no reason to continue on with this circuit act!!!

I think this will just push more players who were maybe on the sideline to jump into the box and give it a shot. I think we are just getting started. Kinda cool actually. Don't you think?

I think what would be really cool would be for Filler to run 715 balls, break the record, then stop, take his cue apart, and claim HE now has the highest official run, and leave everyone wondering how many balls he could have run if he didn't just quit after breaking Jason Shaw's 714 record!!!!

Um, what's cool about this scenario? I don't think a guy who trains like a mofo is going to be happy only breaking the run by one ball. No matter who and what number the record breaker shoots there's going to be another world beater who comes along and thinks they can beat it.

I'm looking forward to when they start up again!
