Here are some break statistics from the 2015 Young Guns (Skyler Woodward and Justin Bergman) vs. Old School (Johnny Archer and Rodney Morris) event, played in St. Peters, MO at Teachers Billiards & Sports Cafe. Pay-per-view streaming was provided by OnCue2.com.
This was sort of a Mosconi-Cup format, but using 3 different disciplines -- 8-Ball, 9-Ball, and 10-Ball -- with play in both singles (2 matches at once) and scotch doubles. Each singles match counted for one point; each doubles match counted for two points. The first team to reach 10 points won. With the event tied at 8 points apiece, the Young Guns won the final scotch doubles match to take the event 10-8.
The conditions for this event included: two Diamond 9-foot tables, no jump cues allowed, rack your own or referee racks using a racking template, alternating breaks from anywhere behind the head string. In 8-Ball -- table open after the break, ball in hand anywhere on the table after a foul on the break, and spot any 8-ball made on the break. In 9-Ball and 10-Ball -- spot the game ball if made on the break. Shots had to be called In all 3 disciplines.
These stats are for all 15 matches, which are listed here in the order in which they were completed.
