Full match video of Miami Jai Alai Game 4, April 9, 2017
I decided to try my hand at scoring a quiniela match. It was a very difficult task. Normally I would not be able to do this because live scoring is beyond my capability and Dania, which offers live matches, does not offer them free on demand. Miami matches are pay per view. Since I had a Youtube video of a complete game (a video which only lasted a little over 12 minutes), I could stop the video at any time and study points to either verify or change my judgments. But there are other problems with scoring a Quiniela match. In this video, the order of the matchups was not posted on the screen, so I had to pay careful attention to keep the matchups correct. For Miami, that is not so easy. Some uniforms are so bleached out it is hard to tell color. Some players do not have numbers or names on their backs. I used the player list shown at the beginning of the video to decipher who was who. I think I got it right, but there might be mistakes in this game "map." Enjoy, and please let me know if you find any mistakes.
Winner-error judgments are my own, based on my limited knowledge of the game, as well as player body language. I am a "generous" scorer, as, on a close call, a winner makes two players happy, and an error makes two players angry. My basic rule is like that used in baseball scoring of hits or errors. Could the play be reasonably expected to be made by a professional player?
Key: Team # Serving-(Team points); Team # Receiving (Team points); Number of balls in play; (Team # that won the point); Player +=winner +a=service ace - = error; selected comments, time of the point on the video. Note that in the first round 1 point is awarded. All subsequent rounds award 2. Game 4 is played to 9 points.
