2009-10 NWHBCA Pool League News Week 30 |
||
| Week 30 wasn't crazy like Week 29. In fact, statistically, it was pretty boring. We didn't have too many players shoot that far above their Expected Scores and in fact not too many shot that far below their ES. It was tough finding 5 MVPs this week, but I managed and it worked out that I was one of them. Even so, there were two 4-1 matches and out of the other four that were played, all were 3-2. Let's check it out... | ||

*Remember, not always do the players with the top scores make the MVP board. Sometimes, a lesser talented player who plays really well and scores a +10 is more valuable than a much better player who scores a +20 and when that happens, those players will stand out as MVPs.

*When we mention a team is a favorite by a certain score, the score here is the difference in the score of the OVERALL MATCH. So matches where a team is a favorite by 10 or less points should be very close matches overall. You'll notice a low and high number. This is a spread that compensates for different players that may play for a team. Predictions are configured using overall team averages. Most teams rotate 7 or 8 players into their matches, so obviously the actual spread will be determined by who plays for each team any given week. That factor could be the reason for a team outscoring another team by a margin much different than their predictions may indicate. Sometimes, a team just plays a great match though up and beyond their expectations against another team. When a team does that, that team expects to win the majority, if not all the rounds in those matches. Last season we had a team that was a 20-point underdog late in the season actually outscore their opponent by 20 points making for a 40 point difference. That underdog team took all 5 rounds in the match at the end of the season when handicaps were applied..
| Overall Preliminary Summary - At first glance, I see a tough match between the Great Whites and DysFUNctional. The East Side Kids vs the Ballbusters could be tough depending on who shows up for ESK. Mayhem and OTH should be a close match (within 10). Oops and Fallen Ones should be a close match as well. So there should be at least 4 close matches this week. Then the Travelin' Cues should outscore the Disturbed Balls by a bunch. WTBS should outscore 8B4B by a bunch. IITWI should probably outscore the Rail Runners by no more than 20 to 25. Let's see... |
| DysFUNctional at Great Whites (at Sharky's) - By TRA, the Great Whites are a +18 favorite over DysFUNctional. With this mach being played at Sharky's and knowing who is playing for the Great Whites, the Great Whites will be a +20 favorite in this match. |
| IITWI at Rail Runners (at Side Pocket) - By TRA, IITWI is a +14 favorite and without James Jatzlau, that may hold up, especially with this match being at the Side Pocket, home for the Rail Runners. IITWI is a +14 favorite over Rail Runners in this match. |
| East Side Kids at Ballbusters (at 20 Below) - The East Side Kids are a +14 favorite by TRA, but that is if their two highest players show up. I don't know that they will as they haven't lately. This one is at 20 Below. I'll say that ESK is a +5 favorite in this match. |
|
WTBS at 8B4B (at Sharky's) - The TRA has this as a +24 match in favor of WTBS. This match is at Sharky's and WTBS plays well there. I'll go with the TRA on this one; WTBS +24 favorite over 8B4B. This one could get ugly. |
|
Travelin Cues at Disturbed Balls (at Q-Bar) - This one has by TRA, Travelin' Cues are a +22 favorite, but I think this one could be worse. I'm going to say that the Travelin' Cues should outscore the Disturbed Balls by +25 in this match. |
| Mayhem at Over The Hill (at Stars) - The TRA on this match has Mayhem as a favorite by +10 which means it should be close. I think it'll be closer. Mayhem is a +5 favorite over OTH in this match. |
| Oops at Fallen Ones (at Slick Willies) - The TRA shows Oops being a 2 point underdog in this match for the match. This match is at Slicks and I think it will be close. I'll make this an even match. |
|
Summary It appears that my original predictions are pretty accurate. The matches that I thought would be close end up being within 10 points at the most by TRA. Then the others weren't as bad as I thought they would be, but they are more than +20. I think there will be some fun and close matches this week. |

Reoccurring News: Recruiting for our league: We have begun our 2009-10 Vegas League session. Remember that teams are always on the lookout for players to rotate and for subs in general for the league when players aren't able to make it on a given Thursday night. If you have friends or you're out and about and meet someone with an interest, please get their information to me so that I can have them available for teams who may need them. Recruiting for our league is a league effort.
