Starting in 2020, the WPH has crunched tens of thousands of shots, tracking the aces, kill shots, return of serve kills, first-strike kills, errors, 6+ shot rallies won, and hinders for dozens of classic matches in handball’s recent and distant past. The thousands of numbers we’ve crunched have provided handball fans and players with the blueprint to win matches.

On this edition of Crunching the Numbers, we’ll switch gears and tracks the +/- point differentials, points scored vs. points lost, percentage of points won, and the match record from the top eight finishers at the WPH R48 X Stop #1 Tucson Memorial
