Derby City Straight Pool Challenge 2011

Day Two

Things were tougher for a lot of the players on Monday.

John Schmidt's high was 14; Niels was 4; Charlie Williams was 15.

Mike Davis, in his first inning, however ran a nice smooth 146. It ended when his cue landed about a 64th of an inch from a ball straight in with no other shot. he was playing shape on it as he was doing a secondary break down below the rack and it just drifted a little too close. He shot away and missed.

Dennis Orcullo was second with a 74 and Beau Runningen was third with a 64 for the Daily Prizes.

The top Eight right now are:

Darren Appleton 183
Mike Davis 146
Corey Deuel 125
Niels Feijen 102
Dennis Orcullo 74
Mika Immonen 68
Beau Runningen 64
Tommy Tokoph 52
 
Not to take this great thread OT, but didn't Hohmann once post three consecutive 150-outs in match play (ignoring breaks & initial safety play or whatever)?

As I recall, that was in the European Championships three or four years ago. I believe the games were to 125.

I am not sure, but wasnt that during the 14.1 Invitational held at Comet Billiards and recorded by Accu-Stats.

I will have to check my dvd's out to verify

Do you know if the euro championships were recorded? I will have to check the supermarket shelves for it !!

Thanks

I think it might have been streamed, but I don't know about recorded. You can find some Euro championships on Youtube, including 14.1, but I think they are from 2008 and 2009 sadly.
 
I remember talking to Ralf Souquet about that tournament and I'm pretty sure it was 2005 - before the IPT, and before Toastie won the BCA event in '05. I doubt if it was streamed or even recorded. I remember they provided scoring for those events. It is easy to forget that it was just a few years ago that we all relayed scores in the Azbilliards Chat Room during the US Open finals between Ronnie Alcano and Shane Van Boening.

I do recall him running back to back 150 and out's at Comet Billiards in NJ. I believe he won the match prior to those run outs also. Something makes me think that one was a 90.

They were not on the TV table at Comet.
 
Seeing all these pros only running 60s, 70s and 80s like this makes me feel a little better about my game. :p Of course I'd probably only get in the teens, but it makes me realize they don't always run hundreds whenever they have a clear shot at it.

Bob, are you recording all the runs (scores)? If so, do you have an average attempt score? Like 100 people tried and averaged 35.6 balls a try?

Dennis, Bill and Dana are working the 14.1 Challenge this year. I think Dennis is using the same score sheets as before, so stats will not be hard to do. In the past, only about 25 people have entered.

High Run Darren Appleton-$1,000.00-183 Highest filmed run in any competition! http://vimeo.com/19924939

John Schmidt, who usually dominates the high run attempts, had an off year, running only 73. He did run a 149 in practice the day before the event started, but during the competition, he did not soar to his usual heights.

Danny Harriman showed up the last day and took all twelve of his attempts. He said he has only been playing three cushion billiards in the last year. His high run was a 72 http://vimeo.com/19853043 and he just missed beating our eighth seed, John Schmidt who had the 73.

Johnny Archer came up short with a 71.

Mika also with a 68.

Dennis:

Not to take anything away from Darren (you already know my feelings towards Darren's 14.1 game in another thread), but I don't think the above statement is correct. (And not just for the "173 vs 183" typo error in the number itself.)

I think if we're going to include these "14.1 Challenges" in the "any competition" category, John Schmidt's run of 204 in last year's SBE 14.1 Challenge is actually the highest.

Or, am I missing something in the classification of "any competition"?

Thoughts?

I think the key word is "recorded" run in competition.

I don't like including these high run competitions. Archer and Hohmann still have the high run at 173 as far as I'm concerned. It's much harder to run that within the confines of 200 point game than in a high run challenge.

So I think there needs to be a differentiator between tournament play and high run comp. It's only fair to Archer and Hohmann.

Well if i didnt goof and not plug the HD Cam in i would of had the whole run on video....But me being the bonehead i am i only got about 50% of the run !!!
