Somebody just scored a 90:

Daniel Pleunik - 90 - https://youtu.be/ARqD-KIG7Bs

At the end of the video, you can see how "pumped" he was to break the 90 barrier.

Enjoy,
Dave

PS: Tom, it's time to get back to work. :embarrassed2:

Awesome work!! Great score! It’s awesome so many people are giving this a go!

90 May end up being the winner! That’s tough action right there!

It’s been crazy busy around here lately with pool on a back burner. Hope to find some time! Otherwise I hope you can crack this one!

Scored a 72 or a 69 today. I know that’s not to impressive. The incredible part is in level 12 I missed with ball in hand. I was perfect till then. Level 15 I made 3 balls on the break and then missed the first shot with ball in hand again. If the 3 balls on the break count I got 72 if not 69.

Balls pocketed on the break most certainly count, even with a scratch on the break and a miss on the BIH shot.

FYI, based on my now-vast experience with RDS, and based on input from others, I've made a slight change to Levels 6 and 8 (the 7-ball and 9-ball 8 ball run-outs). They now both allow one extra BIH. I've updated the RDS document.

Regards,
Dave

If you have been working with RDS for a while, please let me know what you think about these changes.

Thanks,

Thanks Dave. 73 wasn’t my best score but I totally blew a chance to have a really good score. I know of at least 3 times I was over 90 going to the last 2 racks and just didn’t get a good layout off the break. One time I was at 95 or 96 and still only got like a 72.

I blame myself when I do poorly on Level 15. One should be able to solve any problems during the 8-ball part of the run, especially with BIH to begin, and being able to choose the set. Level 16, on the other hand, can defeat even a pro if the layout is terrible (although, a good break can help in this regard).

Catch you later,
Dave

I like this, but the issue is I can only go through it once a day, purely because of the first 6 levels, these first 6 levels are way too easy and make your stroke sloppy, so if I repeat the exercise the second time I will play worst after these 6 first levels.

Oh and I also believe level 15 and 16 are purely luck based, solving problems still needs luck, I can set up these two games for a player B+ to run them out, and can setup the games for a pro like shane van boening to still fail them.

Stop whining and start posting (scores and videos). :grin:

Levels 15 and 16 do take some luck, but skill helps a great deal also.

Good luck,
Dave

You might want to make sure you have the right video linked to this entry. I was impressed by the score so I watched it. After reviewing it a few times it appears as though Daniel leaves up:

-6balls up on lvl #12
-4balls up on lvl #13
-1ball up on lvl #14 (not entirely sure if you count the one he made but fouled in the process)
-3balls up on lvl #16

Here is the info from Dan's YouTube video description:

Score: 100 - 1(L12) - 4(L13) - 2(L14) - 3(L16) = 90!

Only "points" (not balls) left on the table result in deductions. In most of the 8-ball racks, you are not required to run out the non-chosen set, so those balls remain on the table with no penalty.

Thanks for checking though,
Dave
