Did you also record the results for each 5-rack set? If Varner was shooting for a total of 31, how many times did he actually "beat the ghost"?Varner only got ball in hand behind the line when he scratched. Otherwise it was played from the leave. He played that the scratch did not end his turn, but did cost a ball.
You also mentioned that he scratched on the break about half the time. Were they intentional scratches? That was actually a smart strategy under the old terms of this proposition, taking a 1-ball penalty in exchange for ball in hand in the kitchen.
