Maybe another way to look at this: We have 93 runs from SVB. and here's a summary showing how often SVB ran racks. Racks completed out of 100 attempts 0 100 1 91 2 68 3 56 4 47 5 39 6 33 7 23 8 19 9 16 10 14 11 14 12 10 13 8 14 6 15 5 16 4 17 4 18 3...

Background: The LOPB event had SVB and Ruslan Chinakhov attempting high runs in 14.1 Bob Jewett had done the stats for John Schmidt's attempts to beat 526, and he posted that Schmidt was running 50 balls about half the time, and running 100 balls about a quarter of the time. When SVB started...

Not a lot of data to make comparisons meaningful Run ending shot.

.... and was anyone sweating bullets that SVB would keep shooting past 300, 400, .... Ha! Ha! I've seen that happen when an athlete was practising to show off some stunt. He did it a couple of times in practice, then couldn't do it when the camera was rolling.

That's what i remember as well. And when SVB pulled off two 200 point runs during his warmup, it was decided to count them as well. But i had expected the video to be running all the while he was playing.

In the lead up to the event, there was discussion about recording every run to ensure transparency. Ha! Ha! Would have been some red faces if SVB ran that 257 into a 600 or 700 ball run without the camera rolling! Or even a 305.

For the LOPB event, "invitation only". I heard that from you. "committee of five persons" selecting who's invited. I heard that from you. 'large cash prizes". I heard that from you and Lou. There hasn't been any information about the prizes, but it was 'prizes' and not 'prize' and that...

Wrldpro listed SVB's top five runs (308, 295, 257, 241, and 210 I believe) Four of the runs are on video, but the 257 isn't there. I asked if there was another video that hadn't been posted, or if there were runs that weren't done on camera, but didn't get an answer.

Willie was was being paid by Brunswick to play exhibitions, and was being paid to sink balls that night.

I think it comes down to what Nick pointed out up thread. Sinking balls is work. Professionals aren't going to spend a lot of time doing it unless they're paid in some way. John Schmidt decided on his own dime to try and break the record that had stood for70 years and he succeeded. Schmidt's...

Shane van Boening - Day 1 Number of innings 16 Total balls sunk 900 Avg balls per inning 56.25 Max 241 Min 0 Ruslan Chinakhov - Day 1 Number of innings 10 Total balls sunk 1267 Avg balls per inning 126.7 Max 266 Min 0

Isn't it 141? Didn't he make the break (141), then get the wrong ball on the combo?

Does anyone know what RC's personal high run is?

It's just games played between Player X and Player Y. ... playing either 8 ball, 9 ball, or 10 ball. ... on either 7 ft, 8 ft, 9 ft, or 10 ft tables. ... with either winner breaks or loser breaks or alternate breaks ... with 1 on the spot, or 9 on the spot ... with or without jump cues ...

I suspect Ruslan will do well, and do better and better the longer he goes. With SVB, on his warmup day only 10% of his runs were hitting 100. On the '1st' day, 16% of his runs were hitting 100, and on both days '2' and '3' , 29% of his runs were hitting 100.

The 241 is on Monday's video, but the 257 isn't. On an earlier post you also mentioned a couple of 140 level runs that Monday, but they aren't on Monday's video either. Is it on video?

Wrldpro, Last night on FB, you said "Thanks again to Shane VanBoening for an exciting week of some great 14.1 high runs! We greatly appreciate it! His top five runs were 308,295,257,241,210." I can see four of those runs, but the 257 doesn't show up on any of the videos?

I heard a commentator say that the US team tends to be a group of individual players who sometimes don't mesh well, and the Euro team tends to have better teamwork. The job for JJ is trying to juggle not just playing skills but also those players who have the 'best fit' in a team event.

I've been hearing that a lot from 14.1 players. The common perception seems to be that Ruslan plays better patterns. It will be interesting to see.

Lighten up maybe. What you wrote was "Think the total is 27 or 29, problem I’d people who do not understand they are luck to have to use for low cost.🤪. People suck.😭😭😭😭" This is pretty garbled wordage, and I hadn't actually noticed your post until PJ made his comment. Then i went back and...
