Here are some stats from the round-robin-matches portion of the 2016 World 14.1 Tournament played September 5-7 at Steinway Billiards in Queens, NY. These were the 17 matches streamed by AzBtv, and they represented 14.2% of the total of 120 round-robin matches that were scheduled for the event.

The conditions for this event include:
- Brunswick Gold Crown 9-foot table with blue Andy Cloth;
- Aramith balls;
- triangle rack;
- fouls on all balls;
- opponent racks in most matches, rack your own in a few matches;
- lag for opening break.

I plan to post a separate thread later for the double- and single-elimination portions of this event.

Attempted Scoring Innings means the player's total number of innings for the game minus the number of innings that he played only a safety or an intentional foul (no attempt to score a point).

PPI is Points per Inning based on the total number of innings in the game for that player. [Note: I am calling this measure Points per Inning rather than Balls per Inning to be a bit more precise in the definition, since the number of points a player is credited with in a game can be quite different from the number of balls he pocketed.]

PPASI is Points per Attempted Scoring Inning, i.e., points per inning based on the number of Attempted Scoring Innings in the game for that player.

Matches numbered 1-7 here were played on Monday, Sept. 5; Matches 8-14 on Tuesday, Sept. 6; and Matches 15-17 on Wednesday, Sept. 7.

All information is given first for the match winner and then for the match loser (separated by a comma). The numbers in parentheses in Matches #13 and #14 and #17 result from my not seeing a few shots while my stream was frozen. For calculations, I used the number not in parentheses.

The 2 per minute includes racking and timeouts, if any. So if Lou had a real slow racker, and took lengthy timeouts ... No, he was still faster. :smile:
