What is an Accu-Stats average (TPA)?

An Accu-Stats average or Total Performance Average (TPA) is to pool the same as a batting average is to baseball. Essentially, everyone pockets balls and everyone makes errors. A simple computation figures an average. Accu-Stats kept score of 214 matches at Red's. The actual scores and averages for each session are listed in this publication. Usually the player who wins the session has a higher average, but not always. This average gives you a better idea of how the contestants played rather than just the score of the match. The only way that you can figure out your own average is to learn how to keep score. There are brief instructions below to help you read the finals match between Morales and Crane. If you want to learn the complete instructions, they are available free by simply marking the subscription form or writing to Accu-Stats requesting the scoresheet instructions. Once you've learned how to keep score, you can compare yourself with anyone and monitor your progress.

What is an error?

An error is one of the factors used in determining the TPA. There are five possible errors. They are any Miss, Scratch on the Break, Bad Kick, Bad Safety, and Bad Position. These errors are defined on page 19.

How is the TPA calculated?

The TPA formula is total balls pocketed divided by (total balls pocketed plus errors). After scoring a match the total of misses, scratches on the break, bad kicks, bad safeties, and bad position are added to the total balls pocketed. This figure divides into the total balls pocketed. For instance, a player pockets 60 balls and makes 15 errors. Divide 75 into 60 to compute the average of .800.

HOW DO I READ THAT SCORESHEET? On the back page, you will see the actual scoresheet for Red's finals between Caesar Morales and Wade Crane. Let me give you a general idea on how to read it. Essentially, the scoresheet is read from left to right, each column revealing what happened that inning. The LARGE NUMBERS to the right of each player's name tells us how many balls that player pocketed during his inning. The SMALL NUMBERS tell us how many balls went in on the break. The CIRCLED NUMBERS mean that the player also won the rack during that inning. The BOTTOM of the scoresheet shows the running totals of the score. Hang on, you're almost there! You will also see a GREY SECTION filled with l's and 2's (there are no 12's). The l's represent player #1 and the 2's represent player #2. They tell us how that player ended each inning. For

instance, in inning #13 of the first page, player #2 (Crane) pocketed two balls and then missed a called shot. You will also notice small letters (N,B,K,J,P,Q,X). They stand for !¥o reason, Bank, Kiss, £ump, £ush, and miscue. The X means that the player did not intend to run out. In inning #16 of page one, player #2 (Crane) makes three balls on the break, runs another three and plays a safety. Just one more example, and you're on your own. In inning #3 of page two, player #2 (Crane) pockets no balls, is forced to kick, makes a good hit but scratches in the pocket. See if you can read (and feel) the match. I'll start you off. In inning #1, Morales makes nothing on the break and Crane plays a safety. In inning #2, Morales runs eight and out* Good luck!

Total Performance Average (TPA) Tournament Ranking

If you reviewed any of the scores on the previous pages, you probably noticed a number in parentheses

to the right of each score. It was called the Accu-Stats Average. It is actually another name for

Total Performance Average. Those numbers reflect the player's ability for a single session. What

follows are the overall tournament averages for each contestant. For the inside story of the TPA, see

page 8 for a complete explanation.

Burton Spain Speaks For the serious player the hit, balance

and feel of his cue are of the utmost impor­tance. He wants and needs solidity and sensitivity. Whether or not his cue is solid and sensitive depends entirely or. how it is put together and no element is more im­portant than the design and construction of the joint.

In 1976, after years of research and ex­perimentation, I developed a unique design and construction for the billiard cue joint. In 1976 I thought I had a good thing. Now, after eight years of making and using this design I am certain that I have the best thing going.

Send for my literature and the large col­or picture of my 14 basic models. In the 1960's I made the 4-prong blanks for legen­dary cue-makers Frank Paradise and George Balabushka. It's about time I made something for you.
