Another question I pose to all of my collegues here on the straight pool forum...how much of a positive addition do you consider it when a pro player has a major 14.1 tournament victory on their resume? This is keeping in mind that nearly all of the players we frequently label as historical greats have had 14.1 championship victories, but also keeping in mind that since the end of the 1980s big straight pool tournaments have been held sparsely at best. In my opinion a player of the recent era need not have a big 14.1 victory to be considered great, but if I was a pro I would want to win the new incarnation of the 14.1 World Championship very badly.
