Here are some stats from the Accu-Stats "Make It Happen" Straight Pool Invitational played August 10-13, 2013 at Sandcastle Billiards in Edison, NJ. The five players were: Danny Harriman, Thorsten Hohmann, Mika Immonen, Oliver Ortmann, and Ralf Souquet.

The conditions for this event include:
- double round-robin format with games to 75 points;
- a player who reaches 75 points on a run of at least 50 may continue the run for bonus money;
- Diamond 9-foot table with blue Simonis 860 cloth;
- Diamond wooden rack;
- Aramith Tournament balls with the measles cue ball;
- foul on all balls;
- 40-second shot clock with one extension per rack (more complicated time-clock rules were tried and abandoned during Match #1);
- rack your own for the opening break shot and the ref racks thereafter;
- lag for opening break the first time two players play, but the player who did not break has the opening break the second time those players play.

In the following stats, the term 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 am calling this measure Points per Inning rather than Balls per Inning to be a bit more precise in the definition.] 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. Numbers in parentheses include extended play for bonus money after the 75-point match had been won. All information is given first for the match winner, then for the match loser.

BayGene -- Nice to see someone else doing some numbers.

My scorekeeping, however, appears to be a bit different from yours in a few regards:

1. I have Ortmann running 57 rather than 56. In his first inning of Match #4, he ran 56, then made the break shot for 57, then missed a shot while making a double-hit foul (called it on himself, I think). So the inning added 56 to his score, but the run was 57.

2. Our balls-per-inning figures (points per inning) are all a bit different. You can check my counts on points scored and innings in post #1 in this thread. I viewed it two ways -- using the total number of innings for the player and also using what I called Attempted Scoring Innings, which excludes innings that were just a safety or an intentional foul. Here are the aggregate results my numbers produce for the total of the 4 matches each player has played so far (including points scored in the attempts for bonus money). The first number is for total innings; the second number is for Attempted Scoring Innings.

Hohmann 15.3, 24.8
Immonen 16.1, 35.8
Souquet 11.8, 18.1
Ortmann 7.6, 11.7
Harriman 2.5, 4.4

I counted all innings, including safeties and intentional scratches. Great job, AtLarge. Say "hi" this afternoon.
 
I went back and took only attempts at scoring. I came up with
Hohmann 14 innings, 397 balls, 28.36
Harriman 19 innings, 80 balls, 4.21
Ortmann 11 innings, 152 balls, 13.82
Souquet 13 innings, 238 balls, 18.31
Immonen 8 innings, 330 balls, 41.25
Anyway, it's a ball to watch. Thanks again for your stats.

Well, we are a bit different in numbers. Mine (for the first 10 matches combined):

Hohmann -- 397 points, 16 attempted scoring innings, 24.8 Points per Attempted Scoring Inning
Harriman -- 83 / 19 = 4.4
Ortmann -- 152 / 13 = 11.7
Souquet -- 235 / 13 = 18.1
Immonen -- 322 / 9 = 35.8

Balls per inning updated

AtLarge and I have slightly different numbers. I wouldn't be surprised if he's right. Anyway I'm having fun. Here are my updates based on innings with attempts to score:

Immonen 10 innings. 387 balls 38.7 bpi
Souquet. 14. 322. 23
Harriman. 22. 119. 5.4
Hofmann. 21. 472. 22.48

PS: Are you at the event, AtLarge?

No, I wasn't able to go, just watching from home.

I do think some of your numbers are off a bit. Maybe recheck the final game scores and add up the total points again.

For this current post, it looks you counted only 3 attempted scoring innings for Harriman in Match 12, but he had runs of 8, 11, 2, and 18 (in innings 4, 6, 7, and 8), so he had 4 attempted scoring innings.
 
... I do think some of your numbers are off a bit. ...
For comparing different records, it helps to have a line score for each player. There are lots of ways to do that. One of them looks like:

Ortman BS 0(0); 7(7); F(6); 5+14+14+7=40(46); ...
or

Ortman
BS 0(0) ---- break safe, no score
7(7) --- 7 with a miss
F(6) -- some kind of foul
5+14+14+7S=40(46) -- run 40 with a safe at the end
...
The plus to mark a transition across a break shot is good to have for checking for scoring errors. One tricky spot is when they make the 15th ball of the rack along with the 14th which could be marked with "!".
 
Points scored, Points per Inning, and Points per Attempted Scoring Inning -- cumulatively for the first 6 matches for each player:

Hohmann -- 498, 12.8, 19.2
Immonen -- 454, 16.8, 32.4
Souquet -- 401, 12.2, 22.3
Ortmann -- 215, 6.3, 10.8
Harriman -- 197, 4.3, 7.0
 
Thanks guys for posting this stuff. I really wanted to attend, but kids, work, etc...prevented my attendance. Maybe next year. Can't wait for my DVDs though.
 
Post #1 has been updated to include the results of Matches 16 - 20 (except for details of Match 16).
 
Points scored, Points per Inning (PPI), and Points per Attempted Scoring Inning (PPASI) -- cumulatively for all 8 matches for each player (except as noted):

Hohmann -- 656, 13.7, 21.2
Immonen -- 545, 16.5, 27.3
Souquet -- 456, 11.8*, 21.2*
Ortmann -- 365, 8.1, 14.6
Harriman -- 329, 5.1*, 8.2*

*I was unable to watch Tuesday's Harriman/Souquet match, so I do not know how many innings that match lasted. Therefore, the PPI and PPASI figures for those two players are based on 7 matches instead of 8.
