I just read what pj posted in post #11 above. So the formula for the TPA is total balls pocketed divided by the sum of balls pocketed and errors. I read the definitions of errors, but I'm still not sure how to score the match being discussed here.
Obviously, the 13 break-&-run games contained no errors. The two games that may or may not have contained errors were games #7 and #11, which went as follows:
Game #7
- Immonen broke dry;
- Klatt pocketed the 1-ball through the 5-ball, then played safe on the 6-ball;
- Immonen tried to bank the 6-ball one-rail the long way but hit the 8-ball near the side pocket and pocketed the 8-ball (I don't think he intentionally played the bank/combination, but it's possible);
- Immonen shot a jump shot, hitting the 6-ball but not making it;
- Klatt ran out the game.
Game #11
- Klatt broke dry;
- Immonen played safe;
- Klatt hit the kick shot on the 1-ball but did not pocket it;
- Immonen ran out.
So, in view of the definitions of errors in post #11, what do you think?
In Game #7, I'd say Immonen's miss on the 6-ball was
not a "Miss Error," because he could not "see" the 6-ball (he jumped). But did Klatt commit a "Safety Error" two shots earlier, because Immonen made a ball on his next shot (even though it probably was a slopped-in ball)?
In Game #11, Klatt left an open shot after his kick shot, but it looks to me like that's not an error.
So, pending more expert opinion, it looks like they each had no more than one official "error", and possibly none (maybe the announcer was right)!
