ya no, Dennis pocketed more runs (balls), meaning Sky had some half skin wins... sooo
...this one isn't over???

or maybe Dennis won it by a half.

Awesome data.

I noted that during the Championship Pool League (the Matchroom event), they spent about 90 seconds from pocketed nine ball to the next break (collecting the balls and racking). If they spent anywhere near that much time in this event, then the 4.5 minutes per game is even more impressive. They are probably going from break to completed game in about 3 to 3.5 minutes, I should think.

I think Sky and Dennis typically racked quite a bit quicker than did the referees in the CLP event. For a decidedly small sample of games I just re-watched, their average was about 45 seconds from the time the 10-ball was pocketed (or conceded) until the cue ball was placed in position for the next break.

Great stuff, AtLarge.
This is example of a match where the player with better B&R% does not win the match. Dennis with 44% vs Sky 42%

Great, so from break to finished rack it was around 3:45, which is moving it right along. No shot clock required!
