some decent safeties, and LOTS of unforced errors!

Yep, i agree. But Some nice shots, and good quality stroke from both players.

I can definitely relate to Chip during this game. Chip couldn't get out of the starting gate and it seemed like Chip beat himself rather than Richard winning the match.

I agree it seems like Chip was shooting good and playing good safes but he just couldn't close it out. It happens to all of us from time to time just got to keep ya head up.

Seems like Chip made a series of poor decisions, leading to the lopside result. Certainly can happen to anyone when fatigue sets in. Broumpton capitalized with good solid shooting. However, Chip must have shot better earlier, in order to get into the Semi's.

By my count, Richard shot .814 (35 balls, 8 errors) and Chip shot .735 (36 balls, 13 errors). What I feel is strange about this match is that based only on that information, you'd think the score would be 5-4 or so at that point. They pocketed about the same number of balls and the match wasn't even close.

The Accu-Stats guy makes a good observation about the inherent nature of games like 9-ball and 10-ball. Both players had relatively close stats but the end result was extremely lopsided. Ball counts and total errors mean virtually nothing in this format. This is why I don't think these games are a true test of a player's overall ability. How many times does a player do all the work, just to make a last minute error in judgement and give the game away? I know Richard scratched on the break at least twice, but it didn't seem to work out so badly for him. He also made the 9 on the break once. The point is, only in games like 9-ball and 10-ball can your opponent actually do your work for you. In straight pool, you're only credited for what you do and incidentally for what you call. Even in 8-ball this is true. Still a decent match overall. I feel for Chip. He's a very good player, he just made some costly errors. It seemed like half of Richard's wins came from Chip's failed runout attempts. Keep it up PPV.

POOL STATS

Pool is a very precise and tacticle game. I am not sure what the point of these "STATS" is. A percentage number doesn't always indicate what happened in the match. Unless you are giving prizes for certain %, like if you loose but score .725 or better, you get 25% of the bet, then it has some substance. If you are not getting paid for your %, what's the point and who decides? Players have good days and bad days. If you watch a match, and you have been around pool a while, you can tell if one player is better than the other or if they are evenly matched. One day the rolls may favor one player, and the next day they favor the other.There is an old saying ..."you don't have to play good to win and you don't have to play bad to loose". This can go either way on any given day. When $$$ players matchup and give weight, they are unconciously evaluating their own "STATS" in making a game. Which means each level of "player" has their own system subjective to their experiences. Is someone trying to make pool like golf with these "STATS"
