14.1 Hi-Run Challenge at BCAPL - 05-13-2011, 02:12 PM
We opened up the booth yesterday afternoon and got real busy.
No good runs. Great location in the middle of the front ballroom.
2 - 9' Diamonds. Both tables have a camera and monitor on them so everyone can see.
I think the high run was 59 - and total of 122 (4 attempts) by Jesse Engle.
More to come - maybe some pics can be posted - it is a good setup.

BTW: Bob Jewett pledged $10,000 if anyone ties or beats Mosconi 526. CSI matched it so it stands at $20,000 bonus. Highly unlike;y and maybe next year we can get this up to at least $50,000. Eight years allows for a lot of change. Some good, some bad. The game changed so much that people were trying anything to get some offense into 14.1 Straight Pool, such as allowing for an opening break with ball-in-hand from anywhere on a pool table. JS took the opening to advance the record and set out upon making it happen. He set his own format to attempt the record, expecting great monetary gain from a successful accomplishment. The end result of the monetary gain is still in doubt. Good Luck with that.
