Overall results
Here's a breakdown of the 186 games (for match winners and losers combined).
Break-and-run games -- The 52 break-and-run games represented 28% of all 186 games, 46% of the 113 games won by the breaker, and 41% of the 127 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 52 break-and-run games consisted of 1 alternate-break 5-pack (by Orcollo in the final match), 4 alternate-break 3-packs (1 each by Aranas, De Luna, Teutscher, and Woodward), 5 alternate-break 2-packs, and 25 singles.
10-Balls on the break -- One 10-ball was made on the break (0.5% of all 186 breaks); it was spotted.
