The best way by for a beginner to understand how this incredibly precision sport works, look at the "How English Billiards is Played" video above (about 5 and 1/2 minutes) before proceeding to watch any of the games linked to below.
Games were played by a clock rather than up to a score. Each game lasted 90 minutes.
David Causier (#1) and Peter Gilcrhist (#2) are the highest ranking players in the sport, so it is not surprising that they would contest the final.

FINAL:
DAVID CAUSIER 875 (140; 302; 117; 163; 73)
PETER GILCHRIST 388 (58, 294)
NOTE THAT THE NUMBERS IN PARENTHESES ARE THE HIGH BREAKS OF OVER 50 POINTS AT THE TABLE, IN THE ORDER THEY OCCURED. IN THE ENTIRE TOURNAMENT
IN THE 135 GAMES PLAYED AMONG 56 PLAYERS, THERE WERE 5 INSTANCES OF 300 OR MORE HIGH BREAKS. CAUSiER HAD THEM ALL (363; 339; 311; 305; AND 302), THERE WERE 10 HIGH BREAKS OF 200-299. CAUSIER HAD 5 OF THOSE (299; 279; 258; 208; AND 204).
AS FAR AS GILCRHIST IS CONCERNED, HIS HIGHEST BREAK WAS 294 IN THE FINAL, BUT HE IS THE ONLY PLAYER TO EVER MAKE 1,000 OR MORE. HE HAS DONE THAT TWICE.
