Fleming, Pat
Pool Professional and Promoter
Pat Fleming is a Billiard Congress of America (BCA) Hall of Famer and one of the most influential behind-the-scenes figures in modern pocket billiards. A former professional player, Fleming is best known as the founder of Accu-Stats Video Productions, the pioneering company that helped preserve and elevate professional pool through high-quality match coverage and detailed performance tracking.
Blending a lifelong love of numbers with a passion for the sport, Fleming created the Total Performance Average (TPA)—a statistical measurement system introduced in the early 1980s that became a standard way to evaluate elite-level play.
Beyond metrics, Fleming’s legacy is deeply tied to pool’s historical record. Through Accu-Stats, he documented generations of great players and built one of the most important archives in cue sports—footage that has served as both entertainment and a training library for players worldwide.
Fleming has also played a major role as a promoter and steward of marquee events. He assumed promotion and management of the U.S. Open 9-Ball Championship in the late 2010s and later created the International Open, now considered one of the premier professional events in the United States.
In 2022, Fleming sold Accu-Stats to Mike Howerton, while continuing involvement with major productions and streams that keep top-level pool visible and accessible to fans.
