Ronnie O'Sullivan's maximum at the 1997 World Championship. This holds the record for the fastest 147.

In snooker the maximum break is 147, also known as a maximum, a 147, or orally, a one-four-seven. A player compiles a maximum break by potting all 15 reds with 15 blacks for 120 points, followed by all six colours for a further 27 points. A maximum break is regarded as the highest possible achievement in a single frame of snooker, and is often compared to a nine-dart finish in darts or a 300 game in ten-pin bowling.

Joe Davis made the first officially recognized maximum break in a 1955 exhibition match in London. At the Classic in January 1982, Steve Davis achieved the first recognised maximum in professional competition, which was also the first maximum to occur during a televised match. The following year, Cliff Thorburn became the first player to make a maximum at the World Championships. At the UK Championship in December 2013, Mark Selby achieved the 100th recognised maximum break in professional competition.

Maximum breaks have gradually become more frequent in snooker. Only eight recognised maximum breaks were achieved in the 1980s, but 26 were attained in the 1990s and 35 in the 2000s. So far in the 2010s, over 80 recognised maximums have been achieved. Ronnie O'Sullivan holds the record for the most maximum breaks in professional competition, with 15. He also holds the record for the fastest competitive maximum break, at just over five minutes, which he achieved at the 1997 World Championship.

In theory, breaks up to 155 are possible if the referee awards a free ball before any of the reds have been potted. In practice, breaks above 147 are extremely unusual, having occurred only once in professional competition, when Jamie Burnett made a break of 148 in the qualifying stages of the 2004 UK Championship.

History

Joe Davis compiled the first officially recognised maximum break on 22 January 1955, in a match against Willie Smith at Leicester Square Hall, London.^[1] The Billiards Association and Control Council initially refused to accept the break since the match was not played under their rules. At the time the professionals played using a rule (now standard) whereby after a foul a player could compel the offender to play the next stroke. It was only at a meeting on 20 March 1957 that they recognised the break. Davis was presented with a certificate to commemorate his achievement.^[2] The match between Davis and Smith was played as part of a series of events marking the closure of Leicester Square Hall. The hall, known as Thurston's Hall until 1947,^[3] had hosted many important billiards and snooker matches since its opening in 1901, including 12 World Snooker Championship finals.^[4]

John Spencer made a maximum break in the 1979 Holsten Lager International. This did not count as an official maximum, however, as the break was made on a non-templated table used during the event.^[5] The first official maximum break in professional competition was by Steve Davis in the 1982 Classic at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in Oldham, against John Spencer.^[6] Davis won a car for the achievement.^[7] This was also the first televised maximum.^[8] The following year, Cliff Thorburn became the first player to make a maximum at the World Championship in the fourth frame of his second round match against Terry Griffiths.^[7]

Before the 1994–95 season, the maximum break remained a rare feat, with only 15 compiled official maximums. But beginning in 1994–95, a maximum break has been achieved every season thereafter; the 13 maximums scored in the 2016–17 season is the highest number to date. Mark Selby made the one-hundredth officially recognised maximum break in professional competition on 7 December 2013 in the seventh frame of his semi-final match at the UK Championship against Ricky Walden.^[9] Since then, another 39 maximum breaks have been officially recorded in professional competition.^[10] Englishman Ronnie O'Sullivan has compiled fifteen official competitive maximum breaks, the most by any professional player.^[11] Following him are Stephen Hendry with eleven, John Higgins with eight, and Ding Junhui with six. O'Sullivan also holds the record for the fastest competitive maximum break at just over five minutes, which he set at the 1997 World Championship.^[12] In 2013, Mark Selby made the 100th maximum break.^[13] And in 2019, David Gilbert made the 147th 147.^[14]

At least seven players have missed the final black on 140: Robin Hull, Ken Doherty, Barry Pinches, Mark Selby,^[15]Michael White,^[16]Thepchaiya Un-Nooh (twice in the 2015–16 season),^[17]^[18] and Liang Wenbo (in 2018) in a World Championship qualifying match, where he had already made a maximum.^[19]

Breaks above 147 are possible when an opponent fouls and leaves a free ball with all fifteen reds still remaining on the table. A break greater than 147 has happened only once in professional competition, when Jamie Burnett made a 148-point break at the qualifying stage of the 2004 UK Championship.^[20]Jamie Cope compiled a break of 155 points, the highest possible free-ball break, during practice in 2005.^[21]^[22]Alex Higgins was said to have attained the same feat.^[23]

Match-winning maximum breaks

Tournament games are won when one of the players manages to win more than half of the scheduled frames. For example, if a match is scheduled to have a maximum of seven frames, a player wins the game when winning a fourth frame, regardless of how many frames the other player has.

Records

Firsts

The first known maximum break was made by Murt O'Donoghue at Griffith, New South Wales, Australia, on 26 September 1934.^[106]^[5]^[107]

Joe Davis compiled the first officially ratified 147 against Willie Smith in an exhibition match on 22 January 1955 at Leicester Square Hall, London.^[8]^[108]

The first officially ratified maximum in competition was made by Rex Williams against Manuel Francisco in a match, Professionals v. Amateurs, on 23 December 1965 in Cape Town.^[107]^[109]

John Spencer made the first maximum compiled in professional competition on 13 January 1979 at the Holsten Lager Tournament against Cliff Thorburn, but it was not officially ratified due to oversized pockets.^[5] The break was not recorded, as the television-crew were away on a tea-break.^[107]^[110]

The first official maximum break in professional competition was made by Steve Davis in the 1982 Classic against Spencer.^[5] This was also the first televised 147.^[8]

In 1983, Cliff Thorburn became the first player to make a maximum break at the World Championships, a feat that has since been repeated by Jimmy White, Stephen Hendry (three times), Ronnie O'Sullivan (three times), Mark Williams and Ali Carter.^[38]^[111]

In March 1989, Cliff Thorburn became the first player to have made more than one competitive maximum break, while Stephen Hendry became the first player to have made more than one televised maximum break in November 1995.^[24]^[25]

Mark Williams became the first person to compile an official maximum break against a woman, at the Rhein–Main Masters in October 2010.^[24]^[25]

Multiple maximums

More than one official maximum break has been compiled in the same event on twenty occasions:
- The 2008 World Snooker Championship was the first event where two maximum breaks were televised.^[112] Two maximum breaks were also televised at the 2019 Welsh Open.
- Three official maximums at the same WPBSA (World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association) event have been achieved twice: at the 2012 UK Championship, when Andy Hicks and Jack Lisowski both compiled one each in qualifying and John Higgins compiled one at the last 16 of the televised stages.^[113] Similarly, at the 2017 German Masters, Ali Carter and Ross Muir both compiled one each during qualifying and Tom Ford during the televised stages.^[76]
- Mark Davis became the only player to make two official maximum breaks in professional competition at the same event when he compiled two 147s at the 2017 Championship League.^[114]
- The 2012 FFB Snooker Open, 2017 German Masters and 2018 Paul Hunter Classic are the only WPBSA events where two maximums were made on the same day.^[33]^[74] Three maximum breaks were compiled on 8 February 1998 during the Buckley's Bitter Challenge, an unofficial event, by Matthew Stevens, Ryan Day and Tony Chappell.^[115]

There have been at least five non-tournament matches where more than one maximum was compiled. Peter Ebdon compiled two maximum breaks during an 11-frame exhibition match at Eastbourne Police Club on 15 April 1996. In 2003 he also compiled two consecutive maximum breaks against Steve Davis in an exhibition match.^[5]^[107] In 2009 Jimmy White and Ronnie O'Sullivan compiled consecutive maximum breaks at an exhibition match in Ireland.^[116]Mark King and Joe Jogia achieved the same feat at the Grove Open later in the same year.^[117] The only player known to compile more than two maximum breaks on a single occasion is Adrian Gunnell, who compiled three maximums in four frames at a club in Telford in 2003 while practising against Ian Duffy.^[118]^[119]

Higgins and O'Sullivan are the only players to record maximum breaks in consecutive ranking events. Higgins made one during his defeat by Mark Williams in the LG Cup final, and then one in his second round match at the 2003 British Open.^[120]^[121] O'Sullivan made one at the Northern Ireland Trophy and another at the UK Championship in 2007.^[101]^[122] Since top 16 players were seeded through to the second round at the 2003 British Open, Higgins' maximums also came in consecutive ranking matches, albeit not in the same tournament.

Higgins' maximum breaks at the 2003 LG Cup and 2004 Grand Prix made him the first and only player to record maximums in the same tournament in successive years (the LG Cup being the sponsor's name for that year's Grand Prix). Since Higgins made the maximums in the 2003 final and the 2004 first round, he made maximums in successive rounds of the same tournament but not at the same event.^[123]

Final frames and matches

Hendry, Mark Williams, O'Sullivan (on six occasions), Barry Hawkins, Matthew Stevens, Ding Junhui, Andy Hicks, Shaun Murphy, Ryan Day, John Higgins, Mark Davis (on two occasions), Martin Gould and Luca Brecel have all made maximums to win matches. Only five of these have come in final-frame deciders, however: Hendry's at the 1997 Charity Challenge, O'Sullivan's at the 2007 UK Championship, both of Davis' at the 2017 Championship League and Gould's at the 2018 Championship League.

Only Hendry, John Higgins, Stuart Bingham, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Shaun Murphy and Neil Robertson have made maximums in finals of tournaments. Hendry has made three: the first at the 1997 Charity Challenge,^[99] the second at the 1999 British Open^[124] and the third at the 2001 Malta Grand Prix;^[125] Higgins has made two: the first at the 2003 LG Cup^[120] and the second at the 2012 Shanghai Masters;^[126] Bingham at the 2012 Wuxi Classic;^[127] O'Sullivan at the 2014 Welsh Open;^[105] Murphy at the 2014 Ruhr Open^[57] and Robertson at the 2015 UK Championship. Robertson's maximum is the only one to be compiled in the final of a Triple Crown event.^[64]

Chronometrical

Ronnie O'Sullivan's first 147 break against Mick Price in their second round tie at the 1997 world championship set a still-standing world record for the fastest maximum in the history of the game. Guinness World Records recorded the time of the break at 5 minutes and 20 seconds.^[128] However, an investigation undertaken by Deadspin in 2017 revealed that the time recorded by Guinness is incorrect because the timer was started too early on the BBC footage.^[129] Breaks are not officially timed in snooker and the official rules of snooker do not specify how they should be timed, instead leaving the timing to the discretion of the broadcaster.^[12]World Snooker has since suggested that a break starts when the player strikes the cueball for the first time in a break which would result in a time of 5 minutes and 8 seconds,^[12] and this is the time that World Snooker now officially acknowledges.^[130] However, this methodology for timing breaks is inconsistent with the one employed in shot clock events where timing for a player's shot begins when the balls have come to rest from his opponent's previous shot. Under this convention the break would have been timed at 5 minutes and 15 seconds.^[12] At one time, O'Sullivan held the times for the four fastest maximum breaks.^[131]

Sean Maddocks is recognised by Guinness World Records as the youngest player to make a maximum break in competition, which he achieved at the LiteTask Pro-Am series, in Leeds, UK, on 9 July 2017, at the age of 15 years and 90 days.^[132]^[133] O'Sullivan previously held the record as the youngest player to achieve a maximum break in any recognized competition, a feat he achieved at the 1991 English Amateur Championship when he was 15 years and 98 days old.^[134]^[135] However, despite being the official world record-holder, Maddocks may not actually be the youngest player to have made one; Judd Trump is on record as having compiled a 147 at the Potters Under-16 Tournament in 2004 at the age of 14 years and 206 days.^[136] The youngest player to make an official 147 in professional competition is Thanawat Thirapongpaiboon at the 2010 Rhein–Main Masters at the age of 16 years and 312 days.^[136] The youngest player to have made a televised 147 is Ding Junhui at the age of 19 years and 9 months in the 2007 Masters.^[137]^[138]

The oldest player to make an official maximum in professional competition is Mark Davis, who compiled one in the 2017 Championship League at the age of 44.^[75]

In professional tournaments there was usually a substantial prize awarded to any player achieving a 147 break. For example, Ronnie O'Sullivan's maximum at the 1997 World Championship earned him £165,000. Of this, £147,000 was for making the 147 break and £18,000 was for achieving the highest break of the tournament.^[139] This was abolished, however, in the 2010/2011 season.^{[citation needed]}

In the 2011/2012 season World Snooker introduced a roll-over system for the maximum break prize money, the "rolling 147 prize".^[140] A maximum break is worth £5,000 in the televised stages and £500 in qualifying stages of major ranking events. There is a £500 prize in the Players Tour Championship events from the last 128 onwards.^[141] If a maximum is not made then the prize rolls over to the next event until somebody wins it.^[140]

At the 2016 Welsh Open, Ronnie O'Sullivan defeated Barry Pinches 4–1 in the first round. In the fifth frame of the match, O'Sullivan declined the opportunity to make a maximum break, potting the pink off the penultimate red and completing a break of 146. He stated afterward that the prize money of £10,000 was not worthy of a 147. World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn called the decision "unacceptable" and "disrespectful".^[142]

Breaks exceeding 147

A break higher than 147 can be achieved when an opponent fouls before any reds are potted, and leaves the incoming player snookered (blocked) on all 15 reds. The player can nominate one of the other colours as a red, known as a "free ball", which carries the same value as a red for just that shot. If the free ball is potted, the referee places this colored ball back on its original location, de facto creating a setup as if there were 16 reds in total, thus creating a potential maximum break of 155 if a player starts from a free ball position.^[143]

In October 2004, during qualifying for the UK Championship, Jamie Burnett became the only player to record a break of more than 147 in tournament play, when he scored 148 against Leo Fernandez. He took the brown as the free ball, then potted the brown again followed by the 15 reds with 12 blacks, two pinks and a blue, then the six colours.^[20]^[5]^[144]

On a few occasions, breaks exceeding 147 have been reported in non-tournament settings:

A 151 is reported to have been compiled by Wally West against Butch Rogers in West London's Hounslow Luciana snooker club during a club match in 1976. After Rogers fouled, West took the green as his free ball followed by the brown. He then took 14 reds and blacks and a pink off the last red. He then cleared up to make the 151.^[5]^[145]^[146]

In April 1988 Steve Duggan made a 148 in a practice frame against Mark Rowing in Doncaster.^[5]^[147]

In 1993 Stephen Hendry made a 148 in a practice match against Alfie Burden.^[5]

In 1995 Tony Drago made a 149 in practice against Nick Manning in West Norwood, London, that was recorded by the Guinness Book of Records as the highest in this category. In that match Drago nominated the brown as the free ball, to score one point. He then potted the brown again, for four more points, before potting the 15 reds with 13 blacks, a pink and a blue, then all the colours.^[5]^[147]

In 1997 Eddie Manning achieved a 149 break in a practice match against Kam Pandya at Willie Thorne's Snooker Club in Leicester. Like Drago he took brown, brown, 13 blacks, pink and blue.^[5]

In April 2003 Jamie Cope made a 151 break at The Reardon Snooker Club during a practice game with David Fomm-Ward. After a foul by his opponent, Cope was snookered behind the brown ball. He took the brown as the free ball and then potted the blue, 13 reds with blacks and two with pinks, then the six colours.^[5]

In the middle of 2005, Jamie Cope made snooker's first 'highest possible' 155 break in a witnessed practice frame.^[148]

In November 2010 Sam Harvey made a 151 break in a practice match against Kyren Wilson at his home club in Bedford. Harvey potted the brown as the free ball and then the black, 12 reds with blacks, two with pinks and one with blue, then the six colours.^[5]^[149]
