I think its funny coming from someone claiming the honestly of others should be closely looked upon, when someone behind the curtains of this event made the decision to make the pocket miter angles parallel therefore making it harder for the pockets to reject badly hit balls so they would have a better chance of being pocketed, that's gaffing the pockets on purpose, or cheating the viewers of truthful high runs being earned on the merit of the players skills alone.
But what so funny about that, is that it shows the lack of knowledge of how 14.1 is truly played. Keep track of the shots that end a players run, and you'll find out that almost no runs end on a pocket rejecting a ball being pocketed, instead, .out runs are going to end because the ball being pocketed completely missed the pocket, or because no ball could be pocketed, or because if a scratched cue ball. This event has tarnished its own reputation pulling shit like that with the pockets, I guess you don't feel players can post high enough runs on their own, so there was a decision made to help them out without them knowing it
