Here are some aggregate break statistics from the 2021 FargoRate Ohio Open 10-Ball event played October 13-16 at the Roberts Center in Wilmington, Ohio with free streaming on Billiard TV and on YouTube. This is one of the 4 events comprising this year's CSI/Predator US Pro Billiard Series. The primary commentators were Jeremy Jones and George Teyechea. Mario He won the event, defeating Roberto Gomez in the final match.
This was a 60-player event with double-elimination down to 16 players (8 on the winners' side and 8 on the one-loss side). A random draw then matched one player from each side against each other, with single-elimination play from that point to the conclusion. Each match was two races to 4. If the same player won both races, he won the match. If the two races to 4 were split, a shootout determined the winner. The stats are for all 20 streamed matches, of which 9 ended with a shootout. These 20 matches represented 18.0% of the total of 111 matches played in the event.
The conditions for the streamed matches included:
