Remonte--New Recurring Match Results page for Oriamendi2010

This blog has covered Oriamendi2010 Remonte programs (every Tuesday and Thursday there are programs of 4 matches played at Galaretta, Hernani (1) (2)). The old Page that covered the modality going back to 2016 has become large and unwieldy so I have decided to convert it into an archive, which will still be available under the "Pages" on the right side of the blog, below the current results. Or you can access that page HERE.

I have created a new page to cover from 2020 until it becomes to unwieldy again. I like to keep all historical information about a modality in one place so readers can scroll down and follow the sport over a period of history.

I have also made some upgrades and improvements to the page.

1. I am keeping "Star Match" (the 2nd match of each 4 match program, which usually features the best roster match ups and the Finals of Tournaments) cumulative win-loss tables.

2. Cumulative accounting of uneven pairs matches. Oriamendi2010 divides its roster into "A" and "B" Groups, but mixes and matches the groups regularly so that pairs matches can be A-A v A-B; A-A v B-B; or A-B v B-B.

3. Cumulative accounting with overall win-loss records of players by Group and playing position. In the past I have kept this on a month to month basis, due to the fact that Oriamendi2010 hands out Best of the Month recognition to players with the best monthly records. One can find cumulative yearly win-loss records at the web site, but only player by player, one at at time. It is hoped that this table will be a quick, "one stop" destination for readers who are interested in how players are doing in the larger annual context.

4. Additional match statistics. Oriamendi2010 provides excellent Star Match previews and match articles, usually accompanied by selected linescores and individual scoring. To that I am adding total match scoring and other derived statistics when available. This will allow readers to see how the average number of winners and errors in a match trends, and compare that to other modalities that I am doing this for. For Tournament Finals, when available, I will also be adding Non error %, individual Saves and Save %, average balls per point, and other derivative statistics that will hopefully at least entertain, and possibly educate.

The new page, which begins coverage on December 31, 2020 and is up to date, can be found among the "Pages" on the right side of the blog below the current results, but can also be accessed directly HERE.

Feedback is always welcome, as are corrections.
