I did once have a 50+ when I was 19 but don't count that because there was a fluked blue in the middle.
My highest break included a couple of flukes, but I usually don't get anywhere near 50, SO IT COUNTS!!!

When I made my highest break of 30 the next shot I fluked a red and knocked the black near the middle pocket but the cueball went in off :( so it could have been a 38 for me which I would happily have counted even with the fluke lol.

Rightly so. If I ever made a century break (yeah right), I wouldn't discount it because there was a fluke involved. If we followed that law, Cliff Thorburn's first ever Crucible 147 'wouldn't count'

Did I really write queue instead of cue? SMH
Clue: It's lower than 10...
...and people really count flukes in their high break?! It wouldn't cross my mind to do so unless I made close to that number regularly. I've come over all Eddie Charlton haven't I! He went on a crusade to have flukes banned

7?
I think maybe you should do a poll on whether people should count flukes or not on breaks, I feel at least 80% of users on here will agree that flukes count and count them in their breaks

I totally count flukes in my breaks, it's just most of my highest breaks are in the 30s, so the 50+ was a bit of an aberration bolted together by a fluke

Goodness. Whatever happened in your initial foray into the game to incur a 12-year ban?
Taking this into account, and remembering your post about how you threw a pool match, I'm beginning to think you're a bit of a wrong 'un!

Yeh, I thought it was something to do with maiden ranking titles, but couldn’t work out why Michael White appeared twice.
Awaiting the answer with interest

Yahztee!
Reigning Shootout champion Holt failed to make the World Championships this year.
The others were:
Robertson - European Masters
Selt - Indian Open
White - Indian Open and Paul Hunter Classic
Mark King - Northern Ireland Open
Michael Georgiou - Shootout
