Nah, I'm keeping track and will report it after the event.

Ah, what the heck -- 8-7 Europe so far.

Ha. You're the best. At least it's close

AtLarge goes to great lengths for us.
....Mark Wilson must've had them working on the lag this year.

Regarding 1-balls in the side pocket:

Standard operating procedure in this event was to use a cut break from near one side cushion, trying to make the 1-ball in the side pocket on the other side of the table (and whatever else might go). How successful was this?

43 breaks (30% of all 142 breaks) -- dry or fouled
25 (18%) -- successful, making the 1-ball in the opposite side pocket but no other ball(s)
27 (19%) -- successful, making the 1-ball in the opposite side pocket and one or more other balls
47 (33%) -- successful, making one or more balls, but not the 1-ball in the opposite side pocket
___
142 (100%) -- total

So the 1-ball was made in the opposite side pocket 52 times -- 37% of all 142 breaks and 53% of the 99 successful breaks.

Regarding Fouls:

For a discussion in another thread, I identified the fouls committed by each player. So I'm putting the information in this thread as well.

The following numbers are: Breaking Fouls + Kicking Fouls + Jumping Fouls + Other Fouls = Total Fouls

Van Boening -- 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 = 3
Deuel -- 0 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 5
Dechaine -- 0 + 3 + 1 + 0 = 4
Bergman -- 0 + 4 + 0 + 3 = 7
Woodward -- 2 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 7
Team USA Total -- 3 + 13 + 3 + 7 = 26

Feijen -- 0 + 3 + 1 + 0 = 4
Appleton -- 0 + 0 + 1 + 1 = 2
Van den Berg -- 0 + 0 + 1 + 0 = 1
Boyes -- 4 + 1 + 0 + 0 = 5
Ouschan -- 0 + 0 + 1 + 2 = 3
Team Europe Total -- 4 + 4 + 4 + 3 = 15

USA + Europe Total -- 7 + 17 + 7 + 10 = 41​

The "Other" category includes: scratching while making a ball (Van Boening 1, Deuel 2, Bergman 1), scratching on a safety (Bergman 1, Ouschan 1), scratching on a missed shot (Ouschan 1), missing the OB on a swerve shot from a partial hook (Bergman 1), hitting another ball with the CB on the way to the intended OB (Woodward 1), and inadvertently touching a ball when down for a shot (Appleton 1).
