A new 14.1 Challenge Event.

[Dead Money]

Soon I will be organizing and sponsoring a new 14.1 high run challenge in Central Texas. I have a generous group of cosponsors also. No player is banned from coming to try their luck. I think we will set new records almost daily. I sincerely believe 1,000 + ball runs will be possible.

For my challenge events I have solved the pocket size debate as well:

Who wants to be first?

I'll be first, so I can have the record briefly. Is a scratch a foul? I'll be glad to start from a full 15-ball rack unlike the cheaters who have one ball loose at the start.

Yes. A scratch would be a foul. Soft break recommended!

Call pocket? I think as long as it’s call pocket, if the cueball leaves the table due to table conditions, it should just be replaced and the shooter continues. Otherwise the high run attempts will be too defensive. No one likes to see long bouts of safety in high run attempts.

Impossible to run even one rack without scratching.

Not true -

There is a distinct strategy.

Soft center hit break with a touch of draw.

Then keep pulling the cue ball back to center table.

No need to call pockets for this event....because there is technically only one!

I have a recurring dream I am playing on a table with no rails, as pictured. I probably need mental help...

Is this a standard factory GC 3 ?

Is this a standard factory GC 3 ?

Yes. The edges of the slate are cut at exactly 90 degrees.

Might actually be a fun game, if the table had ball-return gutters (no bank shots though). Inning could only end with a scratch (or miscue/foul/etc), unless a slow-rolled shot stopped short.

I'm confused here why would there be any safeties in a high run attempt?
Theres only one player.
14.1 is always call ball and pocket.

Instead of another one of these boring, meaningless high run challenge events, why not use those resources to do a proper 14.1 tournament?

 

[phreaticus]

You should try to reuse that table from the cannon break video

I still couldn't make a ball with ball in hand.

Is it just me or does it seem like it might be easier than you expect to roll the cue ball off the table and end your run?

No. It would be pretty easy to have a cue ball bumped off the table.
