Would be interesting to know if Judd Trump or other snooker players are taking part??

I mentioned earlier that people I know who attended Schmidt's presentation said it was a great event, and they also said anyone interested in straight pool should attend. I think that's the rub. There aren't a lot of people that appear that interested in straight pool yet, but Schmidt seems to...

Using the statistical approach described by Bob Jewett, if Jayson can maintain around 90 BPI, he'd be even odds to break 400 in about 60 attempts. So far, in his first Day 2 session, he's averaging 81 BPI, with a potting success nearly the same as Day 1, 98.8%

With the widely different number of innings run by Shane, Ruslan, Earl, and now Jayson, I thought it would be interesting to see how their Day 1's compared. Each of them would be rested and motivated. Shane, Ruslan, and Earl all played about the same number of racks on Day 1, (100-122), but...

I know two people who attended John Schmidt's presentation, and both described the evening as well worth it at $50 a pop. They seemed pretty certain that even if someone beats his record someday, that John has a worthwhile time as a 'straight pool lecturer'. I gather there's a lot more to his...

Earl's runs on day 5 He ran 34 innings. Total balls sunk 1226 High run is 238 His 10-inning average topped out at 74.5 BPI, but then he had a bunch of poor runs and at the end of the day he's at 20.5 BPI. Nits to pick: a. the rack counter was not reset after inning 13, so the count...

Earl's fourth day .... 20 Innings today. 874 balls sunk High run 218 (continued from yesterday's)

Earl's Day 3 runs (last run to be finished later....) Today he had 35 innings, sinking 1206 balls. BPI average is 34 High run today is 144.

But Bobby has been able to spend four days listening to Earl! That's priceless! And he's also racked more than 225 times so far!

Earl's BPI is up 50% for Day2 over Day0 + Day1.
