For all those that think Reyes does not still have it, this is pretty impressive.

Congratulations to John, a West Coasty again, and one of the best all around players in the game.

Don, many thanks for posting the brackets! I wonder what the payouts were? The "prize fund" is listed as $52,000, but I don't know if they plan to publish the top 16 payouts or not.

Schmidt doesn't post here, so there's no sense in offering congratulations. But "Mr. 400" certainly deserves praise. It's nice to see an American win an American held tournament!

Will this revive interest in straight pool? Probably not, outside of the Northeast. Most poolrooms today don't even have a method to keep score for 14.1: no beads, no scorers in the rails, etc. I wish it would come back, however. I used to love the game, and didn't do too badly in tournaments...

Doc ,The Game Of 14.1 is very strong on the east coast, i can tell you that. My company (Play The Game clothing) sold a ton of shirts with this design either embroidered or silk screened on it. The game is alive and well over there compared to any where else in our country. Just scan over the links below to see the clothing with our 14.1 logo on it.
