In snooker, a century break (also century, sometimes called a ton) is a break of 100 points or more. This is in one visit to the table. A century break requires potting at least 25 consecutive balls. Scoring one is regarded as a mark of the highest skill in snooker. Ronnie O'Sullivan said it is the "ultimate milestone for any snooker player".[1]
In the 2013–14 season, Neil Robertson made 100 century breaks in a single season. In the 2019–20 season, Judd Trump also did this. O'Sullivan has made the most, with over 1,000.
