What better way to spend this quarantine than looking at pong statistics? Today, I am going to return again to the idea of "Wins Above Replacement" (WAR) for pong. You may recall a couple of years ago we touched on this topic, but calculating WAR on the level of the team. You can read the two installments on team WAR here:

We played four "official" (i.e., stat-tracking-worthy) games on the Friday of Summer Slam, outside the tourney matches. The fourth was an all-time classic - more on that one to come.
In the meantime, the other three produced some fun moments. Check em out:

Howdy!
In this latest episode of the Pong Pod, Ezra, Bullets and I wrap up our mechanics discussion by focusing on serving form specifically, and then talk about how - in light of how infrequent we actually have the opportunity to play - one could actually implement positive, permanent changes to one's mechanics.

The particulars of this happening are certainly disconcerting, but this all became especially close to home when I learned that a graduate of my alma mater Niskayuna High School was involved, and is now 
Last month, I wrote a blogcat detailing the basic logic behind a computer-simulated pong game, and how we can use this logic to calculate Wins Above Replacement (WAR) for a given team. This time, I will present the results for this analysis, as performed on the data gathered during NogFest 2015. Before you read this, you should probably make sure 
In case you haven't figured it out, we here at Bobcat Territory really like beer pong. Since we started the site in April 2012, we've had 8 blogcats dedicated to the subject. That's a veritable blogclowder (yes, apparently a group of bobcats is called a clowder)! In any case, this will be Part 1 of an ongoing series dedicated to trying to look 
Entering the second annual NogFest, one player in particular was flying under the radar. After famously squandering a 15-2 lead, then following that performance with an unsurprising yet still demoralizing defeat in the Brother Pi semifinal - to the same team, no less - some questioned whether he or his partner could ever come back, mentally.
