Jayson Shaw's 714 becomes 669?

[Chicagoplayer]

Unless he thought he was playing cue ball fouls only.

That could very well be

Azhousepro clarified in Billiard News that they decided to treat the 46th ball of the run as the first of a new run, thus the 669 record.

I'm not sure how that works, but that's the story.

That's not how it works at all.

Kinda like running out from the 3 ball.

Jesus
If pool could get kicked in the nuts any harder!

It never ends.

It’s fitting that, after all the nitpicking of Schmidt’s high run by some of these people, it turns out that the nitpickers’ nits get picked.

Who was on the committee?!

John Schmidt

All you can do is laugh....cuz otherwise you'd cry about the state of pool

It can't be 669 - no rule set supports that. So it's 714 or nothing, depending on the foul ruling.

Absolutely.

They need a referee or Guiness Book of World Records judge calling fouls.

Does that negate everything after the 45th ball?

I have never seen John Schmidt’s record run.

I HAVE seen Jayson’s, repeatedly.

Who here has seen John Schmidt’s video?
Anybody?

Did you see him foul the 45th ball?

I don’t understand why a run can’t start in the middle of the rack as long as the balls aren’t placed by hand. We don’t rerack on every miss in competition.

But even so, why wouldn’t you at least accept the run starting at the next break shot? Maybe he has three records lol.

 

[BeiberLvr]

So the foul happened on the 45th ball, and they allowed the run to restart from the 46th ball?

Why not start the run at the beginning of the next rack (57th ball)? He'd still have the record.

 

[BRussell]

Have you seen John Schmidt’s record run?

I have. But more importantly, the same people that say there’s a foul in Shaw’s run saw it.

The BCA saw it, does that count?

Did you see him foul the 45th ball?

No, I did not see him touch the 45th ball, which is the 9 ball on the video.

Straight pool starts with a break shot.

If I run out from the 3 and then break and run 2 racks, is that a 3 pack?

 

[SBC]

They must be tying Shaw down....

I'd be livid.
