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...

I agree. Danny's issue seems to be anger that Schmidt was the one to break the record, and has some personal grievances towards Schmidt. Danny has posted no end of malicious and provably false allegations. It seems to come down to Schmidt et. al, and many others don't really care what Danny...

JAM posted a good summary in that old 2005 thread that Danny resurrected in 2012 to point out he was still owed some money. "It was the Mid-Atlantic 9-Ball Championship, which occurred exactly one week after the Music City Open and the Derby City Classic. Also, it was held on Super Bowl...

A quick search turned this up.... https://www.poolroom.com/tag/barry-behrman/ "The 2000s also saw Behrman’s reputation tarnished by several prize fund shortfalls and an eight-month stint in jail, the result of hosting illegal casino nights at his home and failure to pay back taxes on his...

I hadn't heard about this. When was that? Who was the promoter that backed out? Was the issue with Charlie Williams that he didn't go to bat for Harriman, or was Charlie Williams involved in managing the event?

I knew there had been practice days, but I figured the data would be 'cleaner' once the event started so didn't look at the videos from those days. By the end of day 2 there hadn't been any stats posted except mention of some of SVB's biggest runs. I was curious about the distribution of runs...

Yes, I saw that, but there were also times when SVB missed a shot, then would set it up again and try it again, and only then would they'd re-rack and start over. I didn't want to consider those shot replays as anything so filtered them out, and that would filter out that 2 and 4 ball run...

There are three Day 3 SVB videos today, and I copied them and did a software scan. There was one chopped video where it started mid-rack. There was another scorekeeper error today. (If today's scorekeeper can make errors I bet the ones 70 years ago did as well? Babe Cranfield didn't talk...

That would be phenomenal!

Hi Danny, yes, i can understand why you would think John Schmidt is a great 14.1 player. On another thread today it was pointed out that the DCC 14.1 Challenge has been run from 2006 to 2019. John Schmidt has placed in the money every year (except 2013), for a total of 13 times. This is more...
