Since the Foosboard is being sunset and this thread is on the topic of Foos achievements here is another staggering set of stats that Clay researched and posted.
Nice domination Jedi btw. Super impressive.
Disclaimer: this is dated from 7/11/2017 (Note: This only includes Tornado tournaments.
Summary:
2015 – 11 open singles appearances. 8 wins. 3 runner-up finishes (lost to Ryan).
2016 – 13 open singles appearances. 13 wins, all from the king seat. Match record: 86-0
2017 – 6 open singles appearances. 6 wins, 5 of which coming from the king seat. Match Record: 40-1
Current streak of open singles events entered and won: 20*
*Now 21 after Nationals, as OP mentioned.
Details:
In 2015, Tony Spredeman played in 11 tournaments and made it to the final in all 11 of them. Ryan won three and Tony won the remaining eight. In the second to last tournament of that year (Colorado State), Ryan beat Tony in the Open Singles Final. That is the last open singles event that Tony entered and didn’t win. A few weeks later at the Bart O’Hearn Celebration in Austin, Tony lost to Ryan in the king seat match of open singles. That would be the last singles match Tony would lose on Tornado for quite a while as he double-dipped Ryan in the final and went undefeated (in matches, not just events) for 15 months! He finally lost a match in February 2017 to Todd Loffredo at Florida State in the winners bracket final. Of course, he came back to double-dip Todd in the final to win his 17th consecutive open singles title.
During the 15-month stretch between his November 2015 king seat loss to Ryan and his February 2017 king seat loss to Todd, Tony was 105-0. No, that’s not a typo. He won 105 consecutive matches without a single loss. And in case you’re wondering about the strength of his competitors, 44 of those 105 consecutive matches were against other masters—Trevor Park, Brandon Moreland, Tom Yore (3x), Robert Mares (3x), Tommy Adkisson (5x), Terry Rue (5x), Blake Robertson (6x), Ryan Moore (8x), and Todd Loffredo (12x). Other non-master notables are names like Daniel Colter, Ron Olson, Paul Smith, Mark Kraus, Steve Mori, Kevin Walker, Matthew Botros, Olavo Tavares, Bill Bell, Greg Mendel, Sean Lee, David Vick, Joe Rhodes, and Scott Ohare.
And that’s just the 105-0 streak of matches won. If we’re talking open singles events that Tony has entered and won, that streak is currently at 20 (beginning with the 2015 Bart O’Hearn Celebration and continuing through to 2017 Texas State). In the span of those events, he is 134-2. After each of those two losses, Tony returned to double-dip the two players who put him in the losers bracket (Ryan and Todd, respectively).
Of the 134 matches Spredeman won during his 20 consecutive titles, here is the breakdown of his opponents' ranks:
Master: 57
Elite: 10
Pro: 24
Lower: 43
The last time Tony entered an open singles event and didn’t make it to the final is all the way back to 2014(!) when he finished 4th at Colorado State. Since then, he’s made it to the final in 30 consecutive open singles appearances, winning all but three of them (finishing second to Ryan Moore in those three).
For kicks, I'll add that he also made it to the King of the Ring Final in Colorado twice—losing to Ryan in 2013 and defeating Chris Havel in 2015.
