626 run pocket size

I actually took a couple pictures of the table and a close up of the pocket with 2 balls included. I will post them when I get home.
Stop yer cryin. You had an answer in under 3 replies. Might be some kinda record, actually. :shrug:
Youre the one keep-coming back for more.
:clapping::clapping:
it reduces the probability that he was an impartial observer.
He has a real job,
He is local and could be a patron (rumor has it that he is)
So the odds are lower that he was a paid observer. In my opinion anyways.
Unfortunately, the non-binding paperwork does not reference anyone as an observer.
Bottom line there is no affidavit.
well, the funny part first, to your ending.. I'm going with the foreign country disrupting billiards development in the U.S. by trolling this forum and others I'm sure. Guessing from all the Russian chalk sig's I'm guessing it's the Russians but the Chinese might just be in on it too... Russian chalk sucks. I have some and that's my opinion of it. I also just want to say "Stop listening to the Russians"
OK, the affidavit. There is no affidavit.
Please look at the Mosconi affidavit at the Smithsonian.

You will see there is a paragraph on the front with all the sigs, this is the certification, and on the back, there is another paragraph that makes it a legal document called an affidavit. The statement part is embossed and signed by a notary. This makes it an affidavit.
For all you rocket scientists out there, take a look at https://www.rocketlawyer.com/article/affidavit-definition.rl
The letter from John is nothing more than that. A letter saying "I did it". It is not legally binding in any way. The people that signed it did not take an oath, swear, have any liability, etc. If I expand the name-calling like the folks around here talk about troll's then I would call it spam.

You can support this community that you are posting in by paying a few bucks a month. Last I saw there was only one plan.
You are a Bronze and I consider your posting style and skills poor. Free accounts don't get much from me anymore. Too many trolls at that level. Your level.
Are you the grocery store guy?
It seems there are plenty of trolls at your level as well.

There is very little that's similar between how Mosconi accomplished his run and how JS did it.
Just for starters, Mosconi did it on a table strange to him, on the spur of the moment. Mosconi didn't set up a special table and he didn't go at it for months on end. Nor, as has been reported: did he use a Sardo rack to get an absolutely perfect rack every single time, or rack them at the wrong end of the table to improve the spread of his break shots. And it remains to be known how many times JS was polishing the balls during the course of his run.
One last thing: yes, they had video back then, lol. But video technology was in it's infancy in the 1950's. We take for granted that we all carry around a video camera in our pockets. No so back in Willie's time. Here's what a piece of video recording equipment looked like in the mid-50's.

There were literally THOUSANDS of 'video' movie recorders around then.
They were called '8MM movie cameras' and looked like this.
Sorry Lou, bogus argument here. Mosconi always played on Brunswick tables, mostly Gold Crowns. The different/strange table argument just doesn't hold water. He brought his own balls and racked for himself on each successive rack, so he got the balls just the way he wanted them. He had a towel and would clean the balls as necessary. I watched him do all this a dozen times or more.
IMO they both played 14.1 on a similarly difficult table and encountered the same kind of obstacles in running their racks. It was a tremendous accomplishment by both men and it just so happens that John Schmidt ran 100 more balls than Willie Mosconi. I too think Willie was one of the two of three best players of all time, but the fact remains John broke his high run record, plain and simple. You can twist it any way you want but it changes nothing!
Just for starters, John did it on a 9 footer.
nothing personal
This concept that we can use a DVD player to look through a video went out the door idk, 20 years ago. This day and age the video file can be processed and all the edit points automatically located. Some programs call them scene changes as well.
Gunisses would want multiple cameras so they can more easily verify that there are no edits or effects. It's on their website anyways..
BTW folks. a 9-foot table is not the same as a 8-foot table. That is a fact. it's also a fact that (2+2 -ne 5)
For those that may not be aware.
"Anyone found guilty of intentionally making a false affidavit has lied under oath and is guilty of perjury. The penalty for perjury can include up to five years in jail and/or a serious fine. ... Lying in an affidavit is the same as lying in court testimony, and it constitutes a crime called perjury"

Laws vary by state so as always ask an attorney.
Bogus?! -- then JS can walk into any pool hall, with Brunswicks, and run balls.
ah, but no, he can't. He needed his special table. He needed his special rack. He needed to play at the wrong end of the table. We don't know (yet) how often he needed to polish up the balls. What we do know is that it took him months to make a run that beat Mosconi, with all kinds of favorable conditions.
And while Mosconi did bring his own balls you seem to have forgotten he had a ref and racker the night he made his run. Personally, after watching four of his 100 ball runs, I never saw him use a towel.
So yes. JS broke the record. But if was totally and completely and thouroughly gaffed up.

He tried for a long time on an 8 footer and couldn't pull it off.
Maybe he discovered, besides all his protestations to the contrary, that it wasn't easier ;-)
Lou Figueroa
Nothing is the same
The table
The cloth
The balls
The weather
The chalk
and on and on...
If you can't say "Good Shooting", to a guy who ran that many balls, then you are the problem.
