14.1 shoot-out format for 2007 Derby City

[Bob Jewett]

Here is the format for the 14.1 shoot-out for the DCC next month. The main change is that the number of attempts per player is limited to a maximum of 12, and they must be taken over three days. Another change is that the prelims will be in the Chapel as the Drinkwater room will have the 3-cushion qualifiers for the Nationals.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2007 Derby City Straight Pool Challenge
Schedule:
Prelims in the Chapel, January 7-10
Finals Thursday, January 11, location TBD

The game is straight pool (14.1) shoot-out -- you against the table with no opponent. There will be four days of prelims in the Chapel. Each try begins with a 14-ball rack and the 15th ball and the cue ball in hand, but both the 15th ball and the cue ball must be at least one ball diameter from any other ball. Each try ends on a miss or foul.

A $100 entry gets you a total of four tries on three different days. You can also get a single-day entry for $50, but you cannot try on more than three days.

The eight players with the highest runs in the prelims will play in the finals with five tries each. Order of play will be by high run in the prelims starting with the lowest.

Prizes ($10k added, entries 100% returned, based on 17 players):

Prelim prizes each day: 1st $300, 2nd $200, 3rd $100
(total $600*4 = $2400, one prize per player each day)

Finals: 1st $2000, 2nd $1500, 3rd $1200, 4th $1000,
5th $800, 6th $700, 7th $600, 8th $500

Bonus: $1000 for high run overall.

Special bonus: $1000 for the first run over 200.

The above payouts are with 17 entries and will vary according to the final number of entries.

Bob, if Efren is there please try to talk him into having a bash, I'd like to know how he does.

dvds

Thanks for bankrolling another exciting 14.1 event. What would the chances be of getting a camera rolling? I would guess that even a dvd with minimal production values might be able to defray some of the cost of the event. Something like Schmidts 245 run dvd with his own commentary added later.
I know I would have bought dvds of some of the runs of players from last years events.

Or, is there any possibility of Pat Fleming putting a camera on things and adding commentary later, either player review or review by Pat, Billy, Grady (!), Danny, Dallas West, Mike Zuglan, Dick Lane, Freddy, George Fels or any other good 14.1 player?

 

[Donovan]

I would definitely be interested in buying all of these too. John Schmidt's DVD is just fantastic. I can't wait for his next one. I would love to see and hear more of these kind of DVD's. The self commentaries are really informative and let you know the different ways, the different pros think their way through racks. I just love it!

He of course was around last year, but didn't play.

As for getting some of the 14.1 on video, I hope that the finals can be in the TV room but that depends on scheduling of other events. The finals will be a total of 40 innings which would probably take 4-8 hours on a single table.
