The Round 1 true average at the 2020 Worlds was 88.64.
In 2019, it was 87.09.

That's some kind of guide as to what normal looks like. It's riding a tad higher so far this year but there will no doubt be a few memorable horrors ahead to kick a lump of it.

In the 2020 Worlds there were no sub-80 averages (toyboards I know, but still that's impressive!), last year obviously there were a few which is understandable given the circumstances, but given the field this year, I don't think there'll be too many sub-80s!
