2007 World Straight pool Championship

EVERYTHING!

Can't wait to at least hear about the tournament. Would love to go to it but I don't know if I can swing it. Got a bunch of "honey-dos" to finish before I could broach the subject.

I was watching the Schmidt/Hohmann match this am which I converted to my IPod. Nice to be able to see players of that caliber cross swords.

I may get to see the qualifier in Chicago when I find out where the pool hall is. Elgin, I think.

First I want to say how thankfull I am to all involved with producing this event. 14.1 events are way to rare and I'll support it by being there BUT
if there is no pro filming of the event then its a shame that fans with cameras can't shoot from a reasonable and respectfull distance from the tables. I will respect a no camera decision but I don't agree with it.

I agree with a lot of the comments here. 14.1 needs these events and these events desperatly need to be recorded. It keeps an ongoing history and record of how the best played it as well as a way to improve your own 14.1 game. It also is a great way to stay excited and look forward to the next one. I also agree that when you think about how many 14.1 events and great matches are now gone with no record its another reason the audience should be allowed to record it.
