====================
After following the first Month (December 2020) of the Miami Jai Alai Season, I have come to believe that any Day (it is simply easier for analytic and statistical purposes to combine Miami's three daily 8 game Performances into one 24 game Day) that a player wins 5 games or more (each player plays between 8 and 12) is a notable day.
8. 1 Alex (12/2)
7. 1 Goiko (12/4)
7. 6 Goiko (1/13)
6. Julen (12/16)
6. 3 Goiko (12/7)
5. 9 Goiko (1/23)
5. 8 Goiko (1/22)
5. Frank (1/22)
5. 7 Goiko (1/18)
5. 5 Goiko (1/11)
5. Cisneros (1/7)
5. 3 Lopez (1/2)
5. 2 Lopez (1/1/21)
5. Carlos (1/1)
5. Manuel (12/28)
5. 4 Goiko (12/13)
5. 3 Alex (12/9)
5. 2 Goiko (12/5)
5. Toto (12/5)
5. 2 Alex (12/3)
5. 1 Lopez (12/3)
9 of the 23 players on the roster have won 5 or more games in a Day. Alex has done it twice (on consecutive days). Lopez have done it three times (including once on consecutive days). Goiko has done it nine times (twice on consecutive days) . Five of the 21 (24%) 5+UP wins happened the first week of the season, before the Dania players joined the roster. Since then the feat has been achieved 16 times in 7 weeks.
I thought it might be interesting and entertaining to look at each 5+UP Days (from the beginning of Week 6 (January 6-11) in a bit of detail. That is the purpose of this post.
The post will literally look (direct pointer to video of the game, from the time the player entered it) at each win. It will break down the win, point by point, and provide statistics for each game and cumulatively for all wins. Note that the video will begin when the player enters the game but will not skip to the next time he player returns after losing a point. Perfect games will include the entire game from the point the winner entered.

Opponent Abbreviation (see Opponent Key)
Balls in Play
Round +(winner) -(error) Note that + or - identifies either a winner or an error ended the point. To see whose winner/error it was, look at the S 7 (or 9) column below. If the number does not increase it means that the winner lost that point (either by an opponent's winner or the winner's error). If that number increases it means the winner won the point, either by his winner or his opponent's error). Scoring is mine. Yours may be different

Winner's Actual Points won and lost (+ winners or - errors in both cases--broken down by type)
Added January 19. Opponents's Post # and number of Spectacular 7 or 9 points at the time of the match up.
Note: In Quiniela Jai Alai the points are played in a "rotation" of the Post Positions (1 v 2, winner plays the next point agains #3, loser goes to the "back of the line", etc.). The match up wins in the first round are worth one point. Match up wins in the all subsequent rounds are worth two. Matches are played to 7 "Spectacular Scoring" points (each Game 5 is played to 9 points for purposes of Superfecta wagering). Each match has 8 contestants. The color/number on the front of the shirt identifies Post Position. The number on the back of the shirt is the player's personal number.
For those unfamiliar with Jai Alai/Cesta Punta terminology, consult the exhaustive video glossary created by Jesus Olivera . It is the best glossary on the topic that I have seen.

Day 40, January 18, 2021: Goiko (L) (#43): 6 wins (the 7th time he has won 5 or more games in a Day). All of the Posts but one were from Post 6 or 8.
Notable. In as dominating a Day as you will see, Goiko won 3 perfect games and committed 0 errors. His +16 -0 was also a "perfect" day. He won with 5 different throws, from the apron once, and with three rebotes.
Matinee: Game 2, Post 8; G4P6; G6P2; G7P8
Twilight: G1P6, G3P2
Best Point (Win # 4, G7, Matinee, Game winning point). 13 balls in play. Ladutxe makes 2 brilliant falling rebote saves from deep in the back court, to no avail, as Goiko nails the point with a two wall winner.

Day 34, January 11, 2021: Goiko (L) (#43), 5 wins (4 consecutive). Goiko won from Post 1, 2, 2, 6, and 6.
Special Mention: Erik (L) (#48). While Erik won only 3 games, they were consecutive Perfect Games (a game in which the winner scores all the points before anyone else scores any). During that streak and two points after, he won 22 consecutive match ups, a phenomenal achievement, especially notable due to the fact that he faced 3 of the best players in the world in each of the Perfect Games. The streak came from Post 3, 6, and 2. It was broken from Post 8.
Best Point (Game 6, Matinee), Goiko beats Erik, to snap the 22 point streak and begin his own streak of 4 consecutive wins. (12 Balls in Play) (Video)

A. Erik (3 Matinee wins, Game 3, 4, 5). 3 perfect games. Game 5 was a 9 point Superfecta game.
