I don't think there could possibly be any sort of ongoing obligation to provide additional reward/s to subsequent record breaker/s.
They could just say it was from budget that no longer exists.

Maybe they don't want to set a precedent if someone breaks 626???
Seems highly unlikely it will be broken anytime soon (or ever) but that could be a legal perspective. IDK |
So keep your nose clean keep it on a shoe string
With no opposing no undue disclosing
Nothing stale nothing old or decomposing
Nothing empty nothing bold or over knowing
Nothing more than tasteful reconstruction
Of the plot that edifies all our instructions
It's on the goodness of our dime that you can function

[QUOTE=logical;6776741]Fair enough. I didn't even know there was such a thing as Billiard Digest and only knew the names because I searched and found that post from 12 months ago.

They only paid JS for breaking the record because JS knew that he was going to attempt the record and JS specifically negotiated with Predator to put that clause and amount in his sponsorship contract with Predator.
I highly doubt that any other players that Predator sponsors plays 14.1 at a high enough level to break the record, or if they do play at that level, they would need to decide before they finalize their contract to put it into the contract and actually make a go at it.

It is kinda interesting that they didn't wring every possible bit of PR out this historic accomplishment.
I would have thought there would have been a big ballyhoo giving him the dough. Who knows... maybe it's out there locked up with the unedited tape.

They seem to be using it on their company website. From Predators website:
"JOHN "MR. 600" SCHMIDT
Began playing with Predator in: 2018
Born: April 12, 1973
Resides: Hesperia, CA
Hometown: Keokuk, IA
{snipped tournaments and titles for brevity}
Special Accomplishments:
Highest 14.1 Run captured on film, 626 balls
Played on 2 Mosconi Cup Teams
Highest run on Diamond, 294 balls
Currently only living player with 7 runs of 400+ and 131 runs over 200 at straight pool"
https://www.predatorcues.com/usa/pro...n-schmidt.html
No photo ops or such, regarding the run. There is a video there, looking like an interview, which I cannot watch as I'm at work. But they are out there in the public, standing behind him, on their official company site.
Player: McDermott G203
Break: J & J 2729

Wake up and pee, the whole world is on fire. This old saying comes from the fifties, as in 1950s.
Try this one on for a laugh...
If you aren't going to use your head for anything, you just as well have two a$$holes.
back to the future, now.. as JG would say "And Away We Go"! fare-the-well while tripping back to your home table

Feel free to ignore me- I’ll continue to poke fun at your half baked angry rants regardless of your choice.
I certainly believe you’re better at billiards than covering your tracks on AZ.
I get it, xHairyx, but you’ve over played your hand.
I’ll still buy you the suds you declined and even play cheap sets for the experience/lesson.
You’ve got stamina, no question about that Sir.

Highest run captured on video? We’ll release the video so all of us can see it.
Was it on a standard table or special circumstances like say 760 Simonis constant cleaning of the felt, polishing of the halls, heaters under the table, extra wide pockets, shaved slate at the entry of the pockets there is more but I’m sure everyone can get the idea.
Highest run on a Diamond table. Well your wrong there sir. Highest run on a Diamond table that has pro cut pockets just under 4.5 inches is 311 not 294. Some guy named Bobby Chamberlain ran 311.
So you know there are a lot of players that just stop after they run 150 or 200. If everybody that has gotten to these numbers and continued there runs there would be at least 20 players with many runs over 400 and maybe a few over 800.
Cranfield ran over 700 twice. Cranfield couldn’t produce an unedited video just as John Schmidt can’t either. The difference is they didn’t have video cameras back then where Schmidt claims to have a unedited video and can’t produce it for proof to the pool world.
