If JS doesn't get a shot at your event it would appear to be sour grapes on the promoters part, but if he's given a shot and someone else breaks the new record run of 626 it makes the new event that much more special. It would be like not inviting Mosconi if you had this event after he ran the 526.
Someone will always come up with a reason for one guy or another to be in, or not.
A few guys on the interweb kvetching will not be the deciding factor. Trust me.
