How do you mark the scoresheet when someone concedes the game ball?
Here’s a real world example of what I’m talking about ...

Marking zero for balls pocketed and then circling for the win seems to penalize the incoming player through no fault of his own in calculating Accu-Stats TPA. The player who wins by concession has his ball count reduced by one ball that he would have likely pocketed if he’d been allowed to shoot. Would it make more sense to record a circled “one” since the opponent conceded that the ball was as good as “made.” Does anyone know how Accu-Stats scores this?
In the same fashion, you could argue that the conceding player could be marked for an additional error because it’s a foul to concede a rack under some rules. Maybe even two extra errors for tournaments like the Derby City Classic where a conceding player forfeits his next game as well.

In the race to eleven match, Efren Reyes (.903) outpointed Kin Davenport (.775) by the score of 9-4! With the score 7-4, Davenport's poor position resulted in a missed bank shot and a new score, 8-4. The next rack, Davenport missed a shot badly and decided he had had enough. He raked in the balls conceding that rack, then shook Reyes' hand to concede the rest of the session.
