Also, there is one more case:GovSat-1 (SES-16), Jan 31, 2018 - which was reported as a successful simulated landing (ASDS)So, my guess - SpaceX just count this case as well.
Quote from: edkyle99 on 07/21/2020 06:24 pmI keep seeing it repeated that this was the 57th Falcon booster landing. I'm counting 56, even if you include the Falcon Heavy Flight 2 Core B1055.1, which landed on OSCILY, but subsequently toppled and was lost. I see 56 on a couple of other tracking sites as well. - Ed Kyle Here is what I have in my spreadsheet for successful landings:Falcon 9ASDS = 36RTLS = 13Falcon HeavySides, RTLS = 6Cores, ASDS = 1 (the transportation failed, but the landing itself was a success)Also, there is one more case:GovSat-1 (SES-16), Jan 31, 2018 - which was reported as a successful simulated landing (ASDS)So, my guess - SpaceX just count this case as well.

The sisters have returned and I count two intact fairing. #SpaceXFleet #SpaceX @SpaceXFleet
#GoMsTree has entered the port and is reversing into the SpaceX docks. #SpaceXFleet
#GoMsChief has now joined her sister and is also reversing into the SpaceX docks. #SpaceXFleet Photos shortly.
The sisters have arrived! Their very first dual catch of the fairings from #SpaceX #ANASIS2 launch. #SpaceXFleet Go Ms Tree
And GO Ms Chief!
And we have it! Both sisters arrive back at Port after catching BOTH fairing halves. Welcome back! And a major congrats to the team! #SpaceX #SpaceXFleet #ANASIS2
The triumphant twins make history with the first ever double recovery, breaking yet once again, another milestone for @SpaceX
Ms. Tree and Ms. Chief have returned to Port Canaveral. Both fairing look intact under the tarps. No foam sacks visible on deck. #SpaceX #SpaceXFleet

For people not familiar with cricket, a "Hat Trick" is when the bowler gets three batters out in a row. Here it is referring to three catches (Falcon 9 first stage and two fairing halves), which is one way of getting a batter out. The term is also used in ice hockey (three goals in a match by one player) and baseball.https://www.dictionary.com/browse/hat--trick

In baseball, a single, double, triple, and home run in the same game is called "hitting for the cycle", not a hat trick. Unlike other sports, a hat trick in baseball has the negative traditional meaning of striking out three times in one game. In the SpaceX case then a hat trick would be missing all three parts - no rocket and neither of the two fairing haves. More recently, some folks have used "hat trick" in baseball to refer to hitting three runs in one game, more in line with other sports.See Hat trick from Wikipedia.

Then fans through out the arena throw their hats on the ice.I love learning about the cricket explanation. However, what are they going to call a FH launch that recovers 3 boosters and 2 fairing halves?
The fairing halves were just offloaded and appear to have already left Port Canaveral to be processed at the SpaceX facility on Cape. Mission accomplished.#SpaceXFleet
2nd fairing half just hoisted off #GoMstree 845 am from #Spacex #AnasisII. More soon

(Is the first ship, the one with the forward facing camera, turning less rapidly?)
All aboard for Fairing Express Train! 1st Time #SpaceX recovers both payload fairing halves from same nose cone & intact to boot! #Falcon9 #AnasisII launch Jul20Lined up 1 by 1 in row w/rigging net-and end to end look inside to acoustic liners @PortCanaveral #GoMsTree #GoMsChief
Pt 1: 2nd fairing half hoisted 845 AM ET this morning off #GoMsTree onto cradled transporter-from #SpaceX #AnasisII #Falcon9 launch Jul 20. Both fairing halves caught mid-air by net 1st time ever from same nose cone. Arrived back @PortCanaveral overnight. more upcoming
