Here's a breakdown of the 234 games (for match winners and losers combined).
Break-and-run games -- The 59 break-and-run games represented 25% of all 234 games, 47% of the 126 games won by the breaker, and 40% of the 148 games in which the break was successful (made a ball and didn't foul).
With alternating breaks, B&R "packages" of the normal type are not possible. But we can still look at the breaks of a given player and see how many he ran on his own successive breaks, and we can call these "alternate-break packages." The 59 break-and-run games consisted of 5 alternate-break 3-packs (two by Martinez and one each by Gorst, Morra, and Garcia), 8 alternate-break 2-packs, and 28 singles.
10-balls on the break -- The 10-ball was made on the break just once (0.4% of the 234 breaks), but it was immediately spotted (with the breaker continuing to shoot) rather than counting as a win.
