The table was just recovered today. Both players having some trouble with the bank angles and table speed.
Scott is leaving the door open and should be a couple more games ahead IMO.

To those of you who are closely following this match.
Have any of the 26 games played reached a point where each player needed only one ball?
Or has either player been in the one hole scratched and eventually lost the game?

If they've played 26 games in 8 hours, that means that they average about 20 minutes per game. That's not slow!
Also, for the first session at least, the spot seems to be right on the money. We'll see how it holds up. But, for the first 26 games anyway, the handicap is looking like it's much fairer than I would have thought.

Scott is not playing his speed here. He had Rich on tilt and let him off the hook twice when he would have gone five games ahead.

Doc. If no game ever reaches the stage where each player only needs one ball it is hard to say whether the spot has any influence on the fairness of the match. Richie may very well be winning all of his games without the need of the handicap. The bottom line is, if a top player can win with a one ball spot, he can also win playing even.
I've always felt that outside of a psychological boost, a one ball spot between two top players means very little. This may prove to be one more example of this theory. Of course having to make one fewer ball is definitely a plus, it really doesn't factor that often.

Not meaning to be argumentative, but doing this once in a while is part of his speed, isn't it?

Agreed. It's certainly not the 12 1/2% that 1/8 represents.

You never know what can happen in matches like these, playing an "ahead" match takes a certain of style of play and person!
P.S. Maybe Artie could chime in here, on what it takes to win at this type of format, since He prefers it over a race.
