Century break

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 26 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]

Ronnie O'Sullivan (pictured) has scored the most century breaks in professional snooker tournaments at more than 1,200.
