I have to keep repeating that to myself every time I think of how low my run is on the list. Thanks for telling it to the others! lol

Steve Lipsky said:Craig, why don't you make a separate list comprised of runs from people who never get to play anymore, lol? Haha, just kidding, but I really haven't played at all this year. The good news is I'm starting to miss it, which hasn't happened to me in a long time...
- Steve <--- seriously starting to get a little ornery.
Come on Steve, I haven't had 1 proper session since my last run in January!
Better start playing soon, good to hear your getting itchy... feet?
PS
List updated
Hello and great to see 14.1 is alive and well , a friend and I just started to play on Sat. afternoons after we both gave up pool many moons ago , I have a 45 playing him and a 50 practicing waiting for him to show last Sat. , which ever one counts please put me on the list. Thanks for the great idea!
Just recently on March 16th I ran 29 on my table with 4 and 1/8" pockets. If I can ever learn how to break better maybe I'll get something more decent! Put me down!
March 25 What a superfantastic day..... ran 26 in the afternoon beating my previous all time highrun of 19 and I saw Eric Clapton play last night with Robert Cray.
I also think this thread should be a sticky.

A suggestion that could be used for self evaluation. The data are somewhat skewed with a few high runs. For this reason one should compare their progress to the group based on the percentage of people in a group.
With 61 people:
Top 10% position 6 or 97 balls
Top 25% position 15 or 67 balls
Top 50% position 31 or 43 balls
50 might be magic but getting in the top 50% is a reasonable goal for most of us. I realize this is not a competition but is fun to have a goal

My high run is 18.
I am new to the game of straight pool, but do not want to play anything else anymore.
Goal for 2007 is 50+.

14.1
I’ve been lurking in the shadows and reading this forum for awhile. This straight pool section is especially interesting to me. A few months ago I had to go out on the web and get a copy of the 14.1 rules and try it myself. I’m so addicted that my wife started issuing threats, “If you don’t put that cue down….” Anyway, I have a high run of 30. It happened once, and I know it will happen again if “I don’t put the cue down”. Now if I can find one person in my area that would play, life will be good. If the objective of this thread was to instill interest in 14.1, it worked.
