... continued from Part II BPI over 10 runs Ruslan made only 10 runs and performed very well. Trying to figure out a fair comparison, I computed the running average BPI over 10 consecutive runs for all players, to find the highest 10-consecutive-run-average. Schmidt outperformed Ruslan on his...

... continuing on from Part I Just break shots A run of 100 means there were eight break shots, so if we look at all break shots, not just ones that ended the run, we get the chart below. Shaw2 was the best breaker, at 96.0%. SVB clearly-underperformed here at only 92.5% If we expand the...

Introduction In March 1954, Willie Mosconi set a record by running 526 balls in an exhibition high-run. In May 2019, John Schmidt set a new record by running 626 balls. In Nov 2021, a Legends group started inviting select players to make high-run attempts on a live stream. In May 2022, Cue...

One of the remarkable things from the 14.1 High Run attempts was the high quality play from the "Straight Pool" players who outperformed the "Rotation" players and i guess that's really not surprising. Looking forward to Hohmann etc., giving this a try. Any one of these five players could...

I've been asked to compare John Schmidt's runs at the Leather Pocket to the runs held at Street Light Billiards last winter. For the data below, I haven't included Ruslan Chinakhov since he only played for one day. After two days, it's pretty clear that even with the tighter table, John...

The latest high-run challenge exposed a slew of problems and controversies, simply because of the way it was set up. The difference in the standard of play between Ruslan and the rotation players was so stark, that it makes me wish there were more 14.1 players involved. Would it be workable to...

There's an 18 year-old American amateur snooker player in the Q Tour!! The name is Elsie Lance, but I can't find any information beyond the name. Anyone know anything about this?

The 14.1 High Run's that have been run over the past few months have provided a lot of data, and maybe it provides an alternative ability test that you can do pretty quickly. Ruslan only had 10 innings, but the other 3 players had a goodly number. Innings run: SVB: 95 innings Earl: 197...

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...

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...
