I was going to wait for this until after the Cup concludes tomorrow, but I have seen a couple of posts today asking about the current individual records. So here is the situation after Day 3, and I'll update it after the conclusion.

Scoring the way it counts, by matches:
  • Day 1 -- USA 2, Europe 3
  • Day 2 -- USA 2, Europe 3
  • Day 3 -- USA 1, Europe 3
  • Total -- 5-9

Scoring by games rather than matches:
  • Day 1 -- USA 15, Europe 21
  • Day 2 -- USA 17, Europe 21
  • Day 3 -- USA 13, Europe 18
  • Total -- 45-60

Individual players' records. For the following records, I counted a full win or loss for each player in a doubles' match (i.e., not splitting the point into halves), and a win and a loss for everyone in the team match (i.e., not splitting the point into fifths). So these numbers essentially answer the question: "In how many winning and losing matches was each player involved?"


Van Boening ..... 0-1 singles, 1-2 doubles, 0-1 teams, 1-4 total

Deuel ..... 0-1 singles, 2-1 doubles, 0-1 teams, 2-3 total

Schmidt ..... 1-0 singles, 0-3 doubles, 0-1 teams, 1-4 total

Bergman ..... 0-2 singles, 1-1 doubles, 0-1 teams, 1-4 total

Hall ..... 1-0 singles, 2-1 doubles, 0-1 teams, 3-2 total

Team USA Total ..... 2-4 singles, 6-8 doubles, 0-5 teams, 8-17 total


Feijen ..... 2-0 singles, 1-1 doubles, 1-0 teams, 4-1 total

Appleton ..... 1-0 singles, 1-2 doubles, 1-0 teams, 3-2 total

Boyes ..... 1-0 singles, 2-1 doubles, 1-0 teams, 4-1 total

Ekonomopoulos ..... 0-1 singles, 3-0 doubles, 1-0 teams, 4-1 total

Gray ..... 0-1 singles, 1-2 doubles, 1-0 teams, 2-3 total

Team Europe Total ..... 4-2 singles, 8-6 doubles. 5-0 teams, 17-8 total​



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, and one-fifth of a point for each player in a team win or loss. So the following numbers essentially answer the question: "What numerical contribution did each player make to the overall Mosconi Cup match scores?"


Van Boening ..... 0.5 - 2.2
Deuel ..... 1.0 - 1.7
Schmidt ..... 1.0 - 1.7
Bergman ..... 0.5 - 2.7
Hall ..... 2.0 - 0.7
Team USA Total ..... 5 - 9


Feijen ..... 2.7 - 0.5
Appleton ..... 1.7 - 1.0
Boyes ..... 2.2 - 0.5
Ekonomopoulos ..... 1.7 - 1.0
Gray ..... 0.7 - 2.0
Team Europe Total ..... 9 - 5​


Edit -- See Post #10 Below for the Update Through All 4 Days

Beggars can't be choosers I know, but it would also be interesting to look at how many games each player has won or lost. Some matches were very one-sided, and others were close. The first team match was just singles games, and I'd count the doubles as full games.

Through 3 days, 105 games have been played. Counting half a point for each player in a doubles win or loss (so the totals will add to 105), here are the individual records through Day 3 for games won and lost:

Van Boening ..... 7 - 13
Deuel ..... 9.5 - 12
Schmidt ..... 9 - 11.5
Bergman ..... 8 - 14.5
Hall ..... 11.5 - 9
USA Total ..... 45 - 60

Feijen ..... 14.5 - 8
Appleton ..... 12 - 9
Boyes ..... 12.5 - 8.5
Ekonomopoulos ..... 11.5 - 8
Gray ..... 9.5 - 11.5
EUR Total ..... 60 - 45
 
Great job. The only thing that I would add, possibly as a footnote to what you already have, is whether each player won or lost their individual game in the team match.

This year was different from previous years where each player shot a whole game in the team match. I seem to recall that each player rotated after each shot in previous years, but I could be incorrect.
 
And based on this, here are the winning percentages sorted from the biggest to the lowest:

Hall ..... 11.5 - 9 56%
Deuel ..... 9.5 - 12 44%
Schmidt ..... 9 - 11.5 44%
Bergman ..... 8 - 14.5 36%
Van Boening ..... 7 - 13 35%
USA Total*..... 45 - 60 43%

Feijen ..... 14.5 - 8 64%
Boyes ..... 12.5 - 8.5 60%
Ekonomopoulos ..... 11.5 - 8 59%
Appleton ..... 12 - 9 57%
Gray ..... 9.5 - 11.5 45%
EUR Total*..... 60 - 45 57%

Post #4, showing the individual records for games won and lost, includes the 6 games played in the teams match:

- Deuel d. Boyes (1-0 match lead)
- Feijen d. SVB (1-1)
- Appleton d. Bergman (1-2 EUR)
- Ekono d. Hall (1-3)
- Gray d. Schmidt (1-4)
- Boyes d. Deuel (1-5 match win for EUR)

And the format of the teams match has remained the same at least the past few years (one-against-one for each game, not rotating players in each game).
 
Here are the final records for the 2014 Mosconi Cup.

Scoring the way it counts, by matches:
  • Day 1 -- USA 2, Europe 3
  • Day 2 -- USA 2, Europe 3
  • Day 3 -- USA 1, Europe 3
  • Day 4 -- USA 0, Europe 2
  • Total -- 5 - 11

Scoring by games rather than matches:
  • Day 1 -- USA 15, Europe 21
  • Day 2 -- USA 17, Europe 21
  • Day 3 -- USA 13, Europe 18
  • Day 4 -- USA 4, Europe 10
  • Total -- 49 - 70

Bergman ..... 0-2 singles, 1-1 doubles, 0-1 teams, 1-4 total

Hall ..... 1-0 singles, 2-1 doubles, 0-1 teams, 3-2 total

Team USA Total ..... 2-6 singles, 6-8 doubles, 0-5 teams, 8-19 total


Feijen ..... 2-0 singles, 1-1 doubles, 1-0 teams, 4-1 total

Appleton ..... 2-0 singles, 1-2 doubles, 1-0 teams, 4-2 total

Boyes ..... 1-0 singles, 2-1 doubles, 1-0 teams, 4-1 total

Ekonomopoulos ..... 1-1 singles, 3-0 doubles, 1-0 teams, 5-1 total

Gray ..... 0-1 singles, 1-2 doubles, 1-0 teams, 2-3 total

Team Europe Total ..... 6-2 singles, 8-6 doubles. 5-0 teams, 19-8 total​

I neglected 10 days ago to update post #4 showing the number of games won and lost by each player. So here it is.

Through all 4 days of the 2014 Mosconi Cup, 119 games were played. Counting half a point for each player in a doubles win or loss (so the totals will add to 119), here are the individual records for games won and lost (including the 6 games played in the teams match):

Van Boening ..... 11 - 23 (winning percentage of 32%)
Deuel ..... 9.5 - 12 (44%)
Schmidt ..... 9 - 11.5 (44%)
Bergman ..... 8 - 14.5 (36%)
Hall ..... 11.5 - 9 (56%)
USA Total ..... 49 - 70 (41%)

Feijen ..... 14.5 - 8 (64%)
Appleton ..... 17 - 11 (61%)
Boyes ..... 12.5 - 8.5 (60%)
Ekonomopoulos ..... 16.5 - 10 (62%)
Gray ..... 9.5 - 11.5 (45%)
EUR Total ..... 70 - 49 (59%)

Four of the Team Europe players (all but Gray) won 60% or more of their games; only one Team USA player (Hall) won over half of his games. Feijen had the highest winning percentage; Van Boening had the lowest.

Very interesting results. Thanks again for continuing to do this.

Apparently Johan Ruijsink's tenure as non-playing captain of Team Europe is over. He served for 7 Cups -- 2006, 2007, and 2010-2014. How did he (his teams) do?

Cup record -- 6 wins, 0 losses, 1 tie (2006) -- let's count that as 6½ wins out of 7, for a 93% winning percentage

Match record -- 78 wins, 51 losses (60%)

Game record -- 617 wins, 505 losses (55%)

Very interesting, so 60-45 in games, and Europe won the lag 14-2, that has to have quite a major effect, maybe not enough to actually give the USA a win, but surely it would have changed the outcome of a couple of matches.

Interesting like elections , the winning games % is much closer (like the winning vote %) but the winning matches % us much higher like the seats won %

Wonder who will be next captain - Alex Lely?

I think only 1 match went hill hill , a doubles match involving Darren and Shane
In that match Euro won lag but lost the match. So cannot say that winning most of the lags helped Euro, not in this event anyway

Europe ran that first rack on a number of occasions, immediately putting the pressure on the US team. If it had been the other way round, I definitely could see some different outcomes.

Europe were the better team for sure, but to have the break in almost EVERY match in a race to 5 is a huge advantage!!

(BTW. I was there and was supporting Europe)

I posted the following info on this subject in another thread last week.

Here's a classification of the 16 match wins according to which side broke in the first game of the match and which side won the first game of the match:

EUR's 11 match wins
• 4 -- EUR B&R 1st game
• 2 -- EUR broke and won 1st game, but not by B&R
• 3 -- EUR broke and lost 1st game
• 2 -- USA broke and lost 1st game

USA's 5 match wins
• 4 -- EUR B&R 1st game
• 1 -- EUR broke and won 1st game, but not by B&R

True. Winning 14 out of 16 lags is huge.If USA had won 50% of the lags,it could have made a difference.
