27 of his 95 attempts ended with a scratch.

Yup, happened to me the same way, and I've made the same comments to other people. I'd do some drills perfectly, go to the bathroom, come back, and have difficulty in making shots twice in a row. I'd have to start over again, working through my fundamentals. After about 45 minutes, suddenly...

Unknowns: a. Is omicron more infectious than delta? b. Does omicron cause more serious health effects? c. Do antibodies and immune cells from covid infections or vaccines still provide a good immune response.? The expert guesses I've seen so far are: a. maybe it's more infectious than delta...

Your own words..... 1. You are new to watching snooker, and your opinion is formed from limited knowledge. 2. You assume greatness is based on triple crown tournaments. That says it all. Watch some snooker and you'll figure it out.

I redid my scans, and didn't filter out some of the low-value runs. SVB's overall BPI was 63. His best day was Day 3, with a BPI of 81, but the other four days were all 56-62.

Lou, I noted your official listing of SVB's high runs Oct 31: 241 Nov 01: 253 Nov 02: 169, 164, 163 Nov 03: 184, 159, 154 Nov 04: 308, 210, 196, 159, 154, 112 Nov 05: 295, 154 My scans agree with most of your numbers. Nov 1: 253 is one of the runs not on video, so maybe it should have an...

Ha! Ha! That does make good sense. I'll pay attention to that next time.

I agree. The reason these top quality players are losing position or missing the shot is loss of focus somewhere leading up to it. I think that's primarily what average BPI measures. There's also talent or skill in reading the pattern and developing a plan of attack. Long term 14.1 players...

Haven't ever seen them in the same place at the same time.

I agree Bob. I believe that SVB underperformed, and RC overperformed. SVB had a lot of wild breaks and scratches, particularly early on.. His 3rd day was his best, with 14 runs and 89 BPI. Ruslan showed how the pattern could be managed, and it was superb. But his lifetime high run is 274...

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.
