He is at it again.
Jayson Shaw live High Run Attempts
- Thread starter wrldpro
- Start date
Wonder if the 832 will be submitted to BCA for recognition. I also wonder if the BCA might invalidate the run on something as little as the fact that the table doesn't have a triangular rack outline marked on it.
Except for the first 30 balls, right? Do you know what time you started watching?

It might be marked but you can't really see it. Regardless, aren't they using the exact same racking as they used for the last record?
Yes I didn’t see the first 2 racks. I opened up my iPad and there was a link on YouTube to Jayson. Someone on Accustats told me a couple hours before that Jayson was on plaging. So when I checked back-poof there it was, some how YouTube just knew…..spooky.
So I didn’t see the very beginning. I did lock in and watched the rest. As I was in the mood to watch pool, I don’t play anymore. By 10 racks I could tell he was dialed in real good. At 20ish as I mentioned I knew it was gonna be a good run. I had no idea it was gonna be what it was.
I got lucky…….
thanks
I don’t have a clue what the plans are going forward.
I’m not a rule nazi and far as I’m concerned what I saw was amazing and I hope others can see it as well.
Last record occurred before BCA posted their guidelines. I’m assuming the marked outline requirement is something they added to ensure they can verify from the video that nobody is Schmidt-ing the rack.
You can clearly see the "donuts" on the table and according to your post that is acceptable in the rules. The reason for the rack outline is so people don't shift the rack to accommodate a break ball, etc. That's why a template isn't acceptable
Did Shaw make 1,000? If he had wss money involved?
Did George Soros offer money if Dhaw made 999?

Some of the shots he was firing in the side pockets at pretty decent angles, were very impressive. The man was certainly on autopilot.
A key reason for the outline is, as stated above in post #82, "to allow determination of in/out for potential break balls."
As I recall that didn’t come up last night. He had a perfect break ball almost every rack. I don’t recall seeing a close one.
There is an rack outline drawn in black sharpie.
good!
Surely you are not trying to knock the accomplishment because you cannot see the outline of the rack.
Obviously not. I was speculating on how the BCA might react. I was looking up the guidelines to cite that the pocket sizes were acceptable for some discussion on Reddit. I just happened to see the outline requirement, had a “huh” moment, and brought the topic here as it’s my preferred forum of discussion.

Thanks for clarifying. Taking a new screenshot and really zooming in, I can faintly see it. I assume the recorded footage picks that up much better then and wouldn’t be any concern in terms of a submission to BCA.
Just for reference, these are the procedures I was looking at. I’ve only ever seen them from a link Bob Jewett shared two years ago. And this isn’t hosted on the BCA website. I just wonder if the BCA ever officially published them for public consumption. I can’t find them on their website directly.
