Dania Jai Alai gives copious information about its players in its daily statistics sheets. One of the most important important pieces of information in these sheets is each player's cumulative record in terms of wins and in the money (1st, 2nd, or 3rd place) finishes. Dania provides these statistics sorted by the personal player number, which serves as much to illustrate as to obfuscate what is going on. The purpose of this page is to sort these players out, by:
A. How many games they win
B. Which games they usually play (early or late) and what position they play (front or back)
Here we will keep track of the cumulative "standings" of players in 4 categories, in the following order. Note that I am going to list the players by talent level rather than the chronological time they play. The late players are universally recognized as better, on average, than the early players. So I will list them in the following order
A. Late Fronts
B. Late Backs
C. Early Fronts
D. Early Backs
Note that the barrier between front and back is not a solid one. For various reasons, players will play "out of their time zone." I am not going to keep track of which wins come at which times for players who play both. It would take more time than I care to spend. What I will do is note what direction a player is moving in by noting the position he was in the previous week, in bold for those who move up, in red for those who move down. Hopefully, this will give you another way to look at the almost infinite complexity that is Quiniela Jai Alai. This page is not designed to inform you of who wins with who, Dania provides that information in the game pages it provides.
Those of you who follow this blog know that I love to keep "standings." This is just another attempt at that. I hope you enjoy it.
Corrections about positions are always welcome.
Note that for those of you viewing this page on a mobile phone, landscape mode will look much better. Landscape mode without readerview looks even better, as the standings are in Courier font, and readerview will slightly mess with how pretty they look in straight landscape. :)
Note also that this item will not be kept in the main blog, as this post is only for announcement purposes. It will be kept on a separate page on the right side of the blog, below the current results.
========================
Note: a full week's play 7 performances with 8 doubles games (16 wins) and 4 singles games (4 wins) 7*20 wins=140 wins. The sum total of all the week's wins for all players should add to 140. If you find an error in my weekly total, please let me know. Raw numbers and percentages are copied directly from Dania statistical summaries through the latest Sunday matinee performance.
