Thank you Doug for all the work you put in posting all the schedules and results. It was invaluable info for those of us who attended the tournament.
 
I counted the runs of 10 or more in all the rounds and it was 62 this year. Last year I think it was 56. Roland Forthomme had runs of 10, 10, 10, 11 and 14 in his six matches in the second phase (games to 35).

Two players had 4.375 games (35/8), Dani Sanchez and Dinh Nai Ngo.

Of the 16 top finishers, 13 had averages above 1.6 and 7 had averages of 1.85 or better. The tournament champion, Jae Ho Cho, had "only" a 1.650 general average, but in the quarter finals he had a 1.818, in the semis a 2.000 and in the finals a 2.500. "Plays well under pressure."
 
Wow, 2 with over 4 average

Are they getting that good? Or is the equipment making it that much easier?

Probably both

No, the level of play/competition has gone up bigtime in last few years. They're playing on same equipment for some time now. Korea has a junior academy system that is turning out some incredible talent in both 3c and snooker.
