Van Duijvenbode's average also cased the highest combined average to be broken. With Ryan Searle throwing a 103.33 average, the combined average came to 215.37. That was a fraction better than the 2020 combined average 214.72 of Luke Humphries (107.60) and Jermaine Wattimena (107.12).

A record number of 180's were also thrown. In total, the crowd was able to stand up 376 times to celebrate a 180 score. The old record was 358, set in 2016.
