Here are some aggregate break statistics from the 2022 Arcadia Arizona Open 10-Ball event played January 12-15 at the Casino Del Sol in Tucson, Arizona with free streaming on Billiard TV and on YouTube. This is one of the 6 events planned for this year's CSI/Predator US Pro Billiard Series. The primary commentators were George Teyechea and Mark White. Fedor Gorst won the event, defeating Roland Garcia in the final match.
This was a 63-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 24 streamed matches, of which 12 ended with a shootout. These 24 matches represented 20.5% of the total of 117 matches played in the event.
The conditions for the streamed matches included:
The 24 matches (275 games) tracked were as follows, shown in the order in which they were played.
