# Century break

Il century break è un termine dello snooker che identifica una serie di almeno 100 punti ottenuti da un giocatore in una serie (break) ininterrotta. Richiede di imbucare almeno 25 biglie consecutivamente.
Il giocatore con più century break è l'inglese Ronnie O'Sullivan con 1201, nella classifica aggiornata allo snooker Championship league (stagione 2022-2023).

## Descrizione

Più in dettaglio il century break (detti popolarmente "ton" o in italiano "centoni") si ottiene quando un giocatore realizza in serie un punteggio tra un minimo di 100 e un massimo di 147. Quest'ultima viene chiamata maximum break (o serie perfetta) in quanto il giocatore ha conquistato tutti i punti che il tavolo offre.
