Turning Stone Classic 9-Ball Open -- Winners and Runners-Up

With Turning Stone XXVIII coming up this week, I thought I'd re-post my list of the winners and runners-up, and the score of the Finals match, from each of the previous 27 events.

The 27 Turning Stone events have been won by 15 different players. Bustamante, Van Boening, and Immonen have each won twice, Shaw has won 5 times, and Archer has won 6 times.

The 27 events have seen 21 different players finish second. Hatch, Sossei, Immonen, and Morra have each been runner-up twice, and Morris 3 times.

The player list on the Joss Tour website is dated 8/1/2017, so I do not know whether it is still current. But, based on that list, 7 of the previous event winners (who have accounted for 18 wins) and 8 of the runners-up (who have accounted for 13 second-place finishes) are scheduled to play this week. Their names are shown in blue.

Great info as always.

Any way of checking to see how many winners went undefeated through the whole tournament, and how many came from the one loss side?

You're asking about TS XXV, right? Yes, he finished 7th/8th.

The only in-the-money finishes I find for him in the AzB database are:

TS II -- 17th/24th
TS III -- 3rd
TS VI -- 7th/8th
TS XII -- 25th/32nd

And if I'm not mistaken, aren't all of Jayson Shaws 5 wins from the undefeated side??

So that number was a little more lopsided before Shaw. ...

Shaw lost in one of his titles and came form the losers bracket. He lost to Alain Parent (Quebec) 9-3.

Shaw won his first two TS titles (XXII and XXIII) from the losers' side, and was undefeated in his most recent three (XXIV, XXVI, and XXVII).

Before Shaw's first win, the record stood at 9 undefeated winners and 12 from the losers' side; it's 3-3 since then.

After the first 17 events, it was close at 9-8. Then 6 winners in a row came from the losers' side to take it to 9-14. But 3 of the last 4 have been undefeated, taking us to the current 12-15.
