[POOL] Results

[Paul]

I know the vote is done, but I never took a close look at this and I had a little time on my hands this week, so here is my analysis. 
The first table no longer makes sense. It is now just 2v2. That said, I don’t know that the suggestion to split it up into 2v2 and 2v1 makes sense given the range of 0 to 10.
The 10 to 39 table doesn’t change.
The 40 to 69 table does change. Basically each slot stretches (example: 3v3 becomes 0 to 12 instead of 10). And the 4v2 at 30 to 39 is removed/replaced. One less slot over all. I see this as advantageous for the higher handicap. 
The change for 70 to 69 is the same, with stretched slots, but the changes less. 
The 100 and up loses a slot like the 40 to 69. Thus, each other slot is stretched. The best example of this is the 9v1 slot which now begins at 125 instead of 107. That is a big difference. For me this means only one player would be a 9v1 against me, Kevin Felker. Dean and every other 100+ player would be 8v1 or less. Maybe that doesn’t matter, I don’t know. I’m guessing my win percentage against 100+ players is ~50% (maybe slightly less). 
I created a spreadsheet. Work was slow, which is strange for us. 
Merry Holidays,
Paul Lucido

We played Nice Rack tonight.  Short summary of the results:

Cari opened against Melanie in a 2:2 but was shutout, 0:2.

Craig played next against Gene in another 2:2.  This time Craig did
the shutting out, taking out Gene 2:0.

Tami played Mike in the third match, also a 2:2.  They traded wins in
the first 2 games, with Tami making a triple combo, but Mike took the
hill game and the match, beating Tami 1:2.

In the 4th match, Paul L played Glenn in a 2:3.  Paul took the first
game with good shooting but Glenn rallied back to take the next 2
games, taking the match to the hill.  The final game was close, but
Paul came out on tap, winning the game and match, 2:2.

The final match was me (John) against Amanda in a 4:2.  The first 2
games should have been Amanda's, but in the first her 8-ball bank shot
took an extra bank into the wrong pocket, and in the 2nd she gave me
ball in hand when I was on the 8, giving me an early 2:0 lead.  The
next game I shot well to get to the hill, but Amanda shot well in the
4th game which she won to get to the hill as well.  In the final game,
we were both missing shots we should have been making, but ultimately
I prevailed, winning the game and match, 4:1.

While we didn't end up sweeping Nice Rack, we took 3 which will help
close the gap against next week's opponent.
