at 1:00pm, the historic race to 300 points will begin.
The winner will receive $10,000 with runner-up receiving $5000, but more than that is the following:
Appleton has now made it to three consecutive finals of the World 14.1, a feat no one has done this millennium and several decades. Hohmann has made this an unprecedented 4th trip to the finals.
No player has won consecutive World 14.1 titles since the early 1980's by Steve Mizerak. Appleton has the chance to be the first ever non-American repeat champion. And he has not lost a match in the event since the 2013 finals lost to Hohmann.
On the other hand, Hohmann has never been beaten in the finals of the World 14.1 three out of three times.
One way or another, history will be broken today.
