2026 DCC 9-Ball Discussion

[Oikawa]

Since DigitalPool keeps track of the duration of matches, it's possible to get a rough estimate of the relative speeds of the players. Here are the times per rack for everyone who had played more than 120 racks. These results are watered down because both players in a match get the average time for that match. A Filler/Pinegar match will move both their averages towards the middle (assuming Pinegar shoots )

First number is average minutes per rack, second is the total number of racks played, even if they didn't get to shoot.

3.8 154 Joshua Filler
4.5 157 Shane Van Boening
4.8 125 Arseni Sevastyanov
5.0 142 Gregorio Sanchez
5.3 126 Lee Van Corteza
5.4 122 Roberto Gomez
5.5 152 Eduard Bregu
5.8 133 Nathan Childress
5.9 133 Fedor Gorst
5.9 138 Trenton White
6.1 150 Anthony Meglino
6.3 162 Marco Teutscher
6.5 187 Vitaliy Patsura
6.9 135 Oliver Ruuger
7.1 152 Jonathan Pinegar
7.5 128 Waleed Hashem

If you multiply the two numbers together, you get the total playing time for the player in minutes.

An interesting note here is that while e.g. 7.1 minutes for hennessy is a pretty typical (slow-ish, but typical) frame time for your average joe with 400 fargo playing another 400 fargo, with each miss and longer thinking time spent on routine (for pros) situations adding up time, the same 7.1 minutes in context of a 780 or w/e his exact fargo is, is extremely slow, as seen in him being at the tail end of that table.

It was Roland Garcia that I heard the most people whining about. How do his numbers look?

4.9 113 Roland garcia

I have no idea why DigitalPool is not capitalizing his name. Seems like the sort of thing that someone should notice. In any case, he looks faster than most, but he might have been slower than his fast opponents. A 0-9 match against Filler can do wonders for your speed stat.

Yeah they aren't the greatest at any kind of data normalization or input validation. I even saw players under 2 different names in the different divisions, like Josh in banks, Joshua in 1P. Can't recall who in particular, but it annoyed me.

I didn't think Roland was playing that slow really. He actually reminded me of Dennis Orcollo's game, jumping up and down looking at the same shot lines/angles multiple times. Annoying, but he was jumping up and down pretty fast.

the difference is that dennis has a fast gear that's not far behind filler
