Notes:
• On Day 2, with the score at 56-37 in Van Boening's favor, the score was changed to 55-37 after some discussion. My notes say that the original score was correct, not the revised one. So the official match score was for 191 games (100-91), but the following stats are for all 192 games in my notes (match score 101-91).
• My stream was frozen for most of one game broken by Shaw on Day 2. Indications were that it was a B&R, so that's how I counted it.
