Key: Team, Day Record, Match Record, Team Points, Net Team Points

CESTA CYCLONES 1-3 (7-13) 8.5 206-227 -21*
* Reflects a net point adjustment of -2 points to Warriors and +2 to Cyclones for what appears to be an error in scoring on March 1, 2022 (Match 2, Set 1, between Bradley(#5) (Warriors) and Jeden(#5) (Cyclones). The match was scored 2-6 Jeden but was actually 3-5 due to an inadvertent score error (see below for details). This is an extremely rare occurence, and one that I discovered and confirmed only after watching the replay multiple times. The scorers do this in real time watching points that are progressing with great rapidity. Through March 1, there have been 827 scored points in 40 matches. 1 point has been called in error. (.99988).

SINGLES: 1-0 (5-3, 4-6, 6-4); 2-0 (2-6, 6-3, 6-4); 3-0 (6-5, 6-2)
PAIRS: 4.5-0 (6-1, 2-6, 6-5); 6-0 (5-6, 6-2, 6-1)
Notable:
The Warriors shut out the Cyclones today, (5-0 in Matches, 6-0 in League points). With the win, the Warriors moved to the top of the table, while the Cyclones remained at the bottom.
Game 4 was one of the best exhibitions of Partido Jai Alai that I have seen. The first point of the first set consumed 84 balls in play, by far the longest in terms of balls in play and time that I have ever seen. In fact it is the 2nd longest match by BIP and time that I have seen in any Basque Pelota modality since I began tracking such things in 2016. The match featured 491 BIP and a Non-error % of .962. Of the 26 points played, 10 consumed over 20 balls in play. I also counted 53 excellent saves.
The Day featured the most 2-1 sets of any so far with 5 of the 6 matches going the limit. The Day also featured a phenomenal 1,113 balls in play during the course of its 126 points.
Player of the Day, for sheer endurance as well as excellent play, was Nicolas of the Warriors. He played in the back in both Pairs matches, meaning he was on the court for 52 consecutive points and 784 balls in play. He aided his team's wins with at least 28 excellent saves. He made 7 errors in the two matches. Hopefully, he will enjoy a bit of a respite for his rubber arm before playing this format again.
Etc. A shout out to Carballo-Manu, Cyclones #1 Pairs team, who have now played 68 and 84 ball points in this competition. They are now 1-1 in the mammoth points department.

Notable:
How damaging Renegades forfeit was today is yet to be determined, but it is 1.5 points they cannot get back. As a result, they lost the Day 4.0-2.0 after beginning the Singles portion with 2 wins out of 3 matches (2-0). The Renegades remained in First Place, while Chargers, winning their first Day of the Season (now 1-3, moved from 4th to 2nd, and are 2.5 points off the lead. The rematch between arguably the best two Singles Players on the roster (Goixerri--Renegades, and Douglas--Chargers today went to Goixerri. Last week when the two met, Goixerri was a simple Dejada away from winning, but fluffed the shot and ended up losing. This time, Goixerri dominated, winning in straight sets in a match that, while not aesthetically beautiful (.421 total score--+8 -11, with a Non-error % of .897), it did have flashes of wonderful play, particularly on defense, where the two players combined for 13 excellent saves.
Player of the day today was Jairo (#2) (Chargers), who is finding his rhythm in the short court game. He easily won his match against Aratz (#2) (Renegades) and led all players today in net score with +7 -1. The match featured great defense by both players (17 excellent saves). Jairo showed great expertise with the forehand rebote today, something that many players on this roster find quite challenging. He has many years of experience on the long court and today, he showed a player almost 20 years his junior that he will be a force to be reckoned with in this competition.

Notable:
It was an exciting and competitive Day's play. The outcome was not settled until the last point of the last set, a 22 balls in play barn burner. A Diaz(#4 Pairs) (Warriors) Reverse Inside Pass from the 5 Line on the outside settled the matter, after the Chargers came back from a 5-3 deficit to tie the set. Three matches went the full five sets, the first time that has happened this season. And the Warriors came back from a 2.5-2 match deficit to win the Day 3.5-2.5. The quality of play was down a bit, to be expected when the highest ranked singles matc hup was a #4 v #4. The Pairs matchups were #4 v #4 and #2 v #2. The cumulative total scoring (122 points) was +39 -83 (.320) and the Non-error % (total balls in play - errors)/total balls in play) was .897. Only one player had an individual positive net score. But the line score showed five 6-5 sets, one in each match, three of which were deciding sets. When it was over, the Warriors moved from 3rd to 2nd in the standings while the Cyclones dropped to 3rd. The Chargers are still looking for their first Day win.
Player of the Day: Diaz (#6 Singles, #4 Pairs) (Warriors). Diaz was a major factor in 2.5 (2 wins) of the Warriors 3.5 points today. His winners closed out the 3rd Set of both his matches. A great clutch performance. He was the only player to have a + total score on the Day, (+8 -6 Singles and +2 -2 Pairs). And he chipped in with 4 excellent saves in the final match.
Etc.: Beginning with Match 4 today I will be counting "saves", a subjective call on saves that are superlative. There are many more saves in these matches, but I'm only going to count the ones I see as "eye openers." I am using the commentary to help me, but these calls are mine alone, and will not always agree with the commentators. I am attempting to factor in the players' rankings within their teams, so this will be subjective in that way also. I hope you enjoy this experiment. I will not be describing these saves, just counting them, as description is a bridge too far at this point.
