Here's the list of all entries and the random break that was assigned to them. I'll also add to the OP.

I wonder if orion21 is liking his 146. Ronnie is known to do those on purpose.

Sorry for the off topic question, but I wonder just how hard it is to run a 100 points from the 1st shot after the break, in Snooker. Is that how you get a Century break? Can the average decent Snooker player get a Century break every now and then? I imagine it is very difficult.
By the way, please add me to the list, if willing. Thanks.
For comparison Steve Davis made 355 and Jimmy White 341 Alex Higgins and Terry Griffiths 86 Ray Reardon 53 , all of those guys were world champions multiple times.
O'Sullivan is just on a different level than everyone else who ever played the game.
The amazing thing is how fast he plays , they can most times barely spot the balls, in time to get out of his way. Stephen Hendry and John Higgins are in the 700s but Hendry retired and Higgins is getting ready to.
Ronnie seems to be getting better every day.
He had 3 in a row the other day. Ridiculously great !
As long as he still enjoys it ,the number is bound to keep going up.
It is 972 right now, lol.
Of the chasing pack the only 3 that seem likely (well have a chance) to go past 1,000 themselves (and thats if they play on for a long time) are Mark Allen (who is improving rapidly), Judd Trump (hasn't won as much as he should, but when he wins he scores heavily) and Neil Robertson (who is the only player to score 100 centuries in a season).
O'Sullivan will be the first to 1,000, probably this season (depending on how much he plays in the second half of the season)
Ronnie won his round 4 match against Zhou by a score of 4 to 1.
He had one century (132).
And came with this shot on the black to win the match. https://youtu.be/E7LNICRGvPc?t=4513
Mark Allen is a very weird choice for this. I like him a lot, but no way he'll be able to make 1000 centuries in competition.
I am baffled how did you came up with Mark Allen. In cuetracker (which you shared the link..), it says that MA has played 777 matches and have made 388 centuries.... he turned pro in 2005, so in 13 years he has played 777 matches. If his average stays the same, in 2031, he will have played 1554 matches (that's roughly 300 more than RoS at this moment) and will have made 776 centuries... That means he will have to keep playing for at least 5 years more to make those 200 centuries, so we're looking at the year 2036. He will be 50 years old (8 years older than today's Ronnie).... I just don't see it...
I have some doubts about this season. Ronnie made some comments WRT when he makes his 1000th. Smirking. And sort of implying he might stall for some time to pick the right event/time for his 1000th. Knowing what he can do with 146/147s I am not sure but I have a hunch he is going to make a show out of that one. Probably missing a bit below 100 just before he thinks he created enough suspense![]()
Ronnie on fire at the moment as he knocks in another ton against Gilbert, couple of sublime positional shots in there as well, he's just unplayable sometimes.
Ronnie is 16-9-1 vs Selby (no idea where the draw came in)
Selby is an ever so slight favorite today 50.46% - 49.54%
The last time they met was in the finals of the 2016 UK Championship. Selby won that match 10-7
