Here are some break statistics from the 2015 Diamond Bigfoot 10-Ball Challenge streamed by Accu-Stats from the Derby City Classic at the Horseshoe Southern Indiana in Elizabeth, Indiana. This was an invitational 16-man, single-elimination event.
The conditions for this event included:
The event's 15 matches (262 games), all of which were streamed from the same table, were as follows. I did not watch the Corteza/Morris match on Friday, so these stats exclude that match (19 games) and are for 243 games in total. The figures in parentheses are the Accu-Stats Total Performance Averages (TPA), as calculated by Accu-Stats:
Overall results -- The breaker made at least one ball (and did not foul) 49% of the time (120 of 243), won 50% of the games (121 of 243), and broke and ran 16% of the games (39 of 243).
Here's a more detailed breakdown of the 243 games.
Break-and-run games: The 39 break-and-run games represented 16% of all 243 games, 32% of the 121 games won by the breaker, and 33% of the 120 games in which the break was successful (made a ball and didn't foul).
The 39 break-and-run games consisted of 1 three-pack (Van Boening), 2 two-packs (Van Boening and Orcollo), and 32 singles. No one broke and ran 4 or more games in a row.
10-balls on the break: The 10-ball was made on the break 7 times (2.9% of the 243 breaks), but it was spotted (with the breaker continuing to shoot) rather than counting as a win.
The conditions for this event included:
- Diamond 10-foot table with standard pro-cut pockets;
- Simonis 860 cloth;
- Diamond wooden rack;
- Cyclop TV balls with a measles cue ball;
- winner breaks;
- rack your own (2-ball and 3-ball on the back corners);
- break from anywhere behind the line;
- no jump cues allowed;
- foul on all balls;
- all slop counts (except spot any 10-ball made on the break); and
- a 40-second shot clock (one automatic extension per player per rack unless at hill/hill, then two extensions per player).
The event's 15 matches (262 games), all of which were streamed from the same table, were as follows. I did not watch the Corteza/Morris match on Friday, so these stats exclude that match (19 games) and are for 243 games in total.

Overall results -- The breaker made at least one ball (and did not foul) 49% of the time (120 of 243), won 50% of the games (121 of 243), and broke and ran 16% of the games (39 of 243).
Here's a more detailed breakdown of the 243 games.
Breaker made at least one ball and did not foul:
Breaker won the game: 75 (31% of the 243 games)
Breaker lost the game: 45 (19%)
Breaker fouled on the break:
Breaker won the game: 4 (2%)
Breaker lost the game: 18 (7%)
Breaker broke dry (without fouling):
Breaker won the game: 42 (17%)
Breaker lost the game: 59 (24%)
Therefore, whereas the breaker won 50% (121) of all 243 games,
He won 63% (75 of 120) of the games in which he made at least one ball on the break and did not foul.
He won 18% (4 of 22) of the games in which he fouled on the break.
He won 42% (42 of 101) of the games in which he broke dry but did not foul.
He won 37% (46 of 123) of the games in which he either fouled on the break or broke dry without fouling.
Break-and-run games: The 39 break-and-run games represented 16% of all 243 games, 32% of the 121 games won by the breaker, and 33% of the 120 games in which the break was successful (made a ball and didn't foul).
The 39 break-and-run games consisted of 1 three-pack (Van Boening), 2 two-packs (Van Boening and Orcollo), and 32 singles. No one broke and ran 4 or more games in a row.
10-balls on the break: The 10-ball was made on the break 7 times (2.9% of the 243 breaks), but it was spotted (with the breaker continuing to shoot) rather than counting as a win.
I'll post break stats for the Bigfoot event in this Post #1 after the event ends.
In the meantime, this is just serving as a placeholder.
For a few interim stats, see post #2.
