Thanks Nick, this really resonated with me. The big thing about John Schmidt's record of 626 was that it took 70 years for someone to get motivated to put in the time and effort to beat Mosconi's 526. Schmidt's 626 raised the profile of the game again, and now other people are chasing that...

I did put those two short runs in that you mentioned ( 2 and 4), but i accidentally added them to the end of Day 3, instead of just before the 308. I'll edit my database. I think there were a couple of short runs that i happened to be watching when they were being processed so I could add...

Facebook's 3-second windows are why so many Facebook posts are just click-bait - looking for that 3 second engagement and don't care if you stay longer. "Playing 14.1? See this secret the pro's don't want you to know!" "Casinos in Vegas don't want you to know this trick". "Hilarious video of...

They don't seem to be in business any more.

Yeah, it was obvious that Xradarx was a fictitious person.

Hi Danny! Can you show a picture of Danny Harriman and XradarX standing side by side, holding today's copy of USA TODAY? Thought not! Case closed!

In 1 out of 75 runs, SVB broke 300. Does that suggest that it would take SVB about 8x75 = 600 attempts to break 500? JS was 50% to run 50, and 25% to run 100. SVB was 50% to run 50, and 21% to run 100. Good work Bob!!

SVB High Runs, November 02 - 05, 2021. Day1. 25 runs, 1505 balls sunk, Average 63 balls/run. Day 2, 21 runs, 1408 balls sunk, Average 67 balls/run. Day 3, 14 runs, 1216 balls sunk, Average 87 balls/run. Day 4, 16 runs, 1052 balls sunk, Average 66 balls/run...

Ha! Ha! That's a good way of describing it! All throughout last evening's live stream, the number of viewers seemed to be around 75, and around 45 were continuous even long after play had ended and SVB had left the building. I wonder if those 45 might have been pool halls that were showing the...

Maybe even someone new. I was really surprised at Oliver Szolnoki and the Polish contingent, and I'm sure there are new players waiting in the wings in Taipei, Philippines, etc.,

I was thinking the same thing. But SVB and all the top professionals can go out and play a bunch of money games and have fun doing it. SVB looks a lot more animated playing 9-ball that he was this evening playing 14.1. But with expenses covered and cash prizes, I wouldn't be surprised that...

I understood that the players invited to this event have their expenses covered, and will also receive some cash for their runs, with the highest runs getting bonus money. Is that right? This evening I was listening to some old-timers who played 14.1 during the 1960s and 1970s. They were a...

I was watching Hohmann's 152 and out from 2007 earlier today, and it didn't look like there was an outline. Also saw a Mosconi/Caras match with no outline but the video was pretty poor. I also saw SVB's personal high record of 308 from yesterday, and there was no outline.

A friend of mine took a Magic Rack to the office, scanned it, and printed up 100 copies on overhead projector film. Lined them up in bunches and used a hole punch.

Is there a problem with them, like they're expensive, or don't last? It would seem like a good solution and do away with the whole issue of removing the rack after the break.

It sounds like the UPA had some looser definition of "securing the funds", and after this mess, changed it to mean "hold the funds", and added "starting now". As for "collusion", I think there would have to be actual point-to-it evidence, not just allegations. Particularly where it sounds like...

Yeah, i checked out some other sites as well. Pool sites like Roy's Basement actually had "likes" around 250. But it's not being streamed on Youtube, and with their '30 second' window for counting views, that would have given a different picture. And the Legends group is solely based on...

I was interested in those total viewer numbers as well. When I checked into the live stream there were generally 100-200 viewers. Sometimes it would dip down to 75, and sometimes it would peak around 500 viewers, and i think i saw 700 once. I looked it up and found that Facebook counts a view...
