This match was a race to 120 game wins played over 3 days. Orcollo won the match, outscoring Shaw each of the 3 days (Orcollo's score first):
Day 1 -- 40 - 36
Day 2 -- 40 - 36 (2-day total 80 - 72)
Day 3 -- 40 - 20
Total -- 120 - 92
[Note: I believe the above "official" score mistakenly credits Shaw with an extra game win early on Day 2; so he actually won 35 games that day, not 36, and 91 in total. Therefore, my stats are for 211 games in total rather than the "official" 212.
