Here are some stats from the round-robin portion (group stage) of the 2019 American Straight Pool Championship played October 22-26 at Q-Master Billiards in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Free streaming was provided on the YouTube channel of Billiard Sports Network.
This is a 42-player event, with a 3-day round-robin portion (6 groups of 7 players each) reducing the field to 24 -- the top 4 players from each group. That will be followed by a 2-day single elimination stage to the end, with 8 players (based on round-robin results) having a bye in the first single-elimination round.
These stats are for all 11 matches streamed in the round-robin portion of the event, and they represented 8.7% of the total of 126 matches played in this portion of the event. These matches were to 125 points, with the first 3 matches on Tues. Oct. 22, the next 4 on Wed. Oct. 23, and the last 4 on Thurs. Oct. 24.
The conditions for this event included:
Attempted Scoring Innings means the player's total number of innings for the game minus the number of innings that he played only a safety or an intentional foul (no attempt to score a point).
PPI is Points per Inning based on the total number of innings in the game for that player. [Note: I call this measure Points per Inning rather than Balls per Inning to be a bit more precise in the definition, since the number of points a player is credited with in a game can be quite different from the number of balls he pocketed.]
PPASI is Points per Attempted Scoring Inning, i.e., points per inning based on the number of Attempted Scoring Innings in the game for that player.
All information is given first for the match winner and then for the match loser (separated by a comma).
