Two new records were established at the final ABC event of the year, played at Cambridge yesterday. John Murphy became the first player in ABC history to make 3 breaks over 150 in a single game (157, 170 and 177 in his first-round match), and Phil Mumford made the first-ever double century in a Plate game (229 in the 30-minute semi-final).
It's been eight seasons now that we've kept detailed records of all matches played in ABC events, so we thought it was time to start publishing some Top-20 Lists in various categories. To begin with we have highest one-hour aggregate scores, highest individual scores in one-hour matches, highest breaks and most breaks over 50. Even before the 2002-03 season that we have partial records of ABC events going back to 1998 but for the purposes of these lists we have made the 2002-03 season the cut-off point.
This 5th ABC event will now be played on Sunday January 31st.
A new EABA event, the English Amateur Matchplay (formaly the UK open) will be a full ranking event which will carry the same ranking points as an ABC event.
