[one stroke]

I like Justin but he is simply not in the same class as Fedor

Thanks AtLarge
The key stat is BW (Break Win) not B&R. Because the player with higher BW always wins whereas the player with higher B&R wins most of time but not always.

The elite players regularly shoot around 65% BW when they win. Gorst did not this match
Filler 64% v Aranas
SVB 68% v Shaw 65%
Shaw 70% v Woodward
Chang JL 67% v SVB
SVB 66% v Orcollo (2019)
SVB v Orcollo 66% (2020)
Gorst 70% v De Luna

Aren't those matches all 10 ball? I think the percentage would inevitably be lower for 9 on the spot 9 ball with 3 point rule because the break is so much more challenging.

The Orcollo/SVB match of 2020 was 9-Ball with the 9-ball racked on the spot and a 3-point rule; both players won on 66% of their breaks. But the breaker-won-game percentage has been in the 50's for most of the 9-Ball events I have tracked using those two rules.

Atlarge is a real asset to pool. Still surprising to me that the high break & run was only 4. It wasn't close but I could have watched even more. Good stuff.

Thanks, Ray. But Gorst's high was a 5-pack -- Games 151-155. Bergman's high was 4.
