Im the house man at Leisure Time Billiards tonight and we are starting our second season of 14.1.
Looking very forward to it too. Strong competition this season.

Started out practicing 14.1 today, ran a 4, 5, 7, 5 at which point I gave up, no need to force it if it isn't working for you. Switched to 9 ball, beat the ghost, go figure.
I played a little while. I ran twelve in the first rack and then bunted the next ball 
and left it in front of the side pocket with a perfect key ball and break ball. Then I ran a bunch more numbers less than 14 and miscued a few times. And then I got a 25 that ended with a scratch while breaking out two balls that I had managed to tie up together on the rail when I bumped another cluster apart.
Got hungry and quit. I haven't played but a couple times in the last couple months so I'm just trying to get in the habit of playing a little.

It always helps to have a plan. Hope you have better luck than I did, lol.
Good luck! Nice to have some competition in the real world. Post some of the runs for us imaginary peeps to compete with in cyberspace.

nope my leather pocket is f'd up and took a big chunck out of my 5ball :bash:
I think this might be my first orange crush

how do you rack that?
Ten ball rack with the extra two balls on in the last row just inside the corner balls.
Good shooting. The ghost usually plays quite well.

Nice. Twelve ball is a hard habit to break. Ever played 11 ball?
Day before yesterday I had 2 14s back to back. They could have been 15s but I tried for very difficult break shots. Yesterday I couldn't hit the rail to say nothing of a pocket.

Been there, done that, with brand new balls, cloth, and pockets. Sucks.
I'll be leaving the house in just a few minutes to spend the afternoon at Break & Run. I hope for some 14:1 but it's usually 8 ball which I like next to 14:1. If I run 100 I'll let you know. Heck, if I run 16 I'll let you know.

I plan to play a little bit in practice mode later today...still trying to break my high run of 25!
Out APA 9 Ball team plays tonight at the Arena in Simi Valley, Ca. starting at 730 PM so I guess it will have to be 9 ball for me tonight.
More 14.1 at home over the week end though...guaranteed!

I didn't get a chance to play yesterday, but I ran a twenty-eight today.
