Here are some stats from the single-elimination portion of the 2018 American Straight Pool Championship played October 16-19 at Carom Café Billiards in the Flushing neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City. Free streaming was provided by High Rock Productions on Facebook.
The stats are for the 7 matches streamed for this portion of the event, and they represented 30% of the total of 23 matches played in this portion of the event. The first 4 matches were played on Thursday, Oct. 18 and the last 3 on Friday, October 19. The Finals match was to 200 points, the others were all to 150 points.
This portion of the event was preceded by a group stage (8 groups of 6 players), with round-robin play in each group. Twenty-four players -- the top 3 from each group -- advanced to the single-elimination stage. The top player from each group received a bye in the first single-elimination round.

The conditions for this event included:
- Brunswick Gold Crown 9-foot table with generous pockets and blue Simonis cloth;
- Aramith Tournament balls with a measles cue ball;
- triangle rack;
- rack your own in most cases;
- fouls on all balls;
- lag for opening break.
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).
