I'm outta rep for ya Spidy (cause of your Dippy Dave animation, et al), else I'd give you more worthless points!

Just to clarify a tad - the record he broke was for the 73 year history of this event. He broke Johnny and ?Ortman's? record - they had both hit 174.
 
They announced

It was impossible for the tournament to let him keep going. He's got Toasty in 1.5 hours.

Now if he does 200 and out in the finals vs Toasty, will he keep going? I doubt it...

That Darren could continue if he had chosen, after the 2 half hearted balls. The decision was Darren's to make, not busti's
 
You know that is outside interference- I think he could set them up the way they were and continue within the rules but probably not if he hits balls in between.
 
This is crazy I can't believe how much people complain about the smallest things busty is one of the best sports in this game. The match was over, busty was just doing what he always does, entertaining.
 
^right. besides, busti already acknowledged Daz's domination of this match, by conceding. With Daz's caliber, i wont be surprised if he does 300 or more.

Well, yes and no. The tradition is to stop shooting when the winning ball is made. That is the run that counts for the record books as a tournament run. The 200 breaks Procita's record, I think. Anything beyond 200 would be going for 527. I don't think Darren had time for that.

My feeling: in a "World" tournament, the players should not be allowed to continue.
 
Like everyone already said, I don't think Daz minded.

Maybe he said something like "I don't want to continue/ I'm tired" etc to Busti that we didn't hear. Who knows.

Busti probably wouldn't have done it to someone like Earl or someone like Wang Can. He probably would have done the same to Alex.
 
Thanks guys .. I didn't try after I got to 200 .. So am glad busta did what he did I was going to stop anyway that's why I was swinging at balls .. Was great feeling thanks again

and there we have it.

thanks for letting us know, Darren.

And congrats to you, again, on your great showing at this 14.1 competition, most especially, your new record 200 and out. :ok::bow-down:

You seem to be catching on to this game, pretty good. :D

Awesome, daz. Honored to have you with us.
Go ahead and break the 526 record. I doubt there are 3 folks currently playing that are as worthy as you to hold the record.

yeah, I'd say you're a quick study. ;)

very enjoyable to watch your game.

and fwiw, it's understandable that you feel bad about not winning the final. I watched that match, as well, and it def could have gone either way.

but right on the heels of your magic *200*, or any similar truly amazing match (you've had some of those :thumbup:), for that matter, it's prob not very unusual to have a let down right after.

meanwhile, all 14.1 players are now on notice that you mean business. :wink:

best,
