I don't want to bring up table specifications in detail, as there is more than enough threads on that here.All due respect to the BCA, I’m not in need of their confirmation of any record that was recorded. When the 627th ball was pocketed the record was broken. When the 715th ball was missed the record was defined and established.
Good enough for me 68 days ago.

I see the previous record was classified in the high run at a exhibition vs. professional play.
Makes me wonder if there should be a couple of categories.
1. High run on non standard equipment, at an exhibition etc. Which is where current and previous record sits in the modern era to compare to a documented World standard (WPA, BCA same thing when you read the specs)
Just means Mosconi's long standing record sits here anyway. Exhibition.
2. High run record on professional standard table. Official record.
Take Snooker for example, all records set are on the same standard tables and they already split records between official and exhibition.
In both cases, it would be good to see some Womans records set as well.
Then some other notable categories, such as Juniors, Seniors etc.
The last couple of events have been, well, a circus.
The last one more so, with all the fuss over John's table, you then don't make it crystal clear and maybe get the table fully specified and documented before the event. Oh dear. Even a pre-submitted set of evidence to BCA would have stopped all the drama over this latest run by Shaw.
Easy these days to measure accurately and even laser scan corner and middle pockets. Nobody would argue with that. Ha ha.
