Scoring the way it counts, by matches:
Scoring by games rather than matches:
Individual players' records. For the following records, I counted a full win or loss for each player in each match (i.e., not splitting the point into quarters for the quadruples matches, thirds for the triples matches, or halves for the doubles matches). So these numbers essentially answer the question: "In how many winning and losing matches was each player involved?"
Team West
Team East
Another way of looking at the records is to count a full point for each player in a singles win or loss, half a point for each player in a doubles win or loss, a third of a point for each player in a triples win or loss, and one-fourth of a point for each player in a quadruples win or loss. So the following numbers essentially answer the question: "What numerical contribution did each player make to the overall Kings Cup match scores?"
