Here are some aggregate break statistics from the 2025 International Bigfoot 10-Ball Challenge played November 14-17, 2025 at the World Golf Village Renaissance St. Augustine Resort in St. Augustine, Florida. Free streaming on YouTube was provided by Accu-Stats. This was an invitational 16-man, single-elimination event. The field did not fill with pros this year, and several amateurs played. Aloysius Yapp won the event, defeating Naoyuki Oi in the final match.

The commentators were Mark Wilson (for 14 matches), Mike Sigel (11 matches), Kim Davenport (2 matches), Jeanette Lee (1 match), and Jerry McWorter (1 match). The referees were Ken Shuman (7 matches), Ed Liddawi (6 matches), and Jose Burgos (2 matrches). The Master of Ceremonies was Derrick Keith.

Conditions -- The conditions for this event included:
• Diamond 10-foot table. Mark Wilson said the corner pockets were 4 1/2", but they may have been a bit smaller that that;​
• Simonis 860 Tournament Blue cloth;​
• Aramith Tournament balls with a red-dots cue ball;​
• Accu-Rack Pro10 racking template;​
• referee racks with the 1-ball on the spot (2-ball and 3-ball need not be on the back corners);​
• alternate breaks from anywhere behind the head string;​
• jump cues allowed (a change from all previous Bigfoot events);​
• foul on all balls;​
• all slop counts (except spot any 10-ball made on the break, a change from last year);​
• 30-second shot clock (even after the break and after push outs) with one automatic extension per player per rack; and​
• lag for opening break.​

Break-and-run games on all breaks:
Match winners -- 18% (19 of 108)​
Match losers -- 7% (8 of 107)​
Total -- 13% (27 of 215)

Break-and-run games on successful breaks (made at least one ball and did not foul):
Match winners -- 33% (19 of 57)​
Match losers -- 14% (8 of 57)​
Total -- 24% (27 of 114)

Here's a breakdown of the 215 games (for match winners and losers combined).

Breaker made at least one ball and did not foul:​
Breaker won the game: 67 (31% of the 215 games)​
Breaker lost the game: 47 (22%)​
Breaker fouled on the break:​
Breaker won the game: 2 (1%)​
Breaker lost the game: 16 (7%)​
Breaker broke dry (without fouling):​
Breaker won the game: 36 (17%)​
Breaker lost the game: 47 (22%)​
Therefore, whereas the breaker won 49% (105 of 215) of all games,​
He won 59% (67 of 114) of the games in which the break was successful (made at least one ball and did not foul).​
He won 38% (38 of 101) of the games in which the break was unsuccessful (fouled or dry).​

Break-and-run games -- The 27 break-and-run games represented 13% of all 215 games, 26% of the 105 games won by the breaker, and 24% of the 114 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 27 break-and-run games consisted of 2 alternate-break 3-packs (1 each by Capito and Yapp), 1 alternate-break 2-pack (by Oi), and 19 singles.

10-balls on the break -- The 10-ball was made on the break (and spotted), just once -- 0.5% of all 215 breaks.

Miscellany from the data for the 2025 International Bigfoot 10-Ball Challenge:

■ The most balls made on a single break was 4, done just once, by Wolford; he won the game but not by B&R. Three balls were made on the break 6 times -- 1 B&R, 1 other win, and 4 losses.

■ The average number of balls made on the break was 0.8 (this includes dry and fouled breaks). On successful breaks (made at least one ball and did not foul), the average was 1.4, and the distribution was 68% 1 ball, 25% 2 balls, and 6% 3 or 4 balls

■ Number of innings:
• 32% (68 of 215) of the games ended in one inning – 27 games on the breaker's first inning (B&Rs) and 41 games on the non-breaker's first inning.​
• 30% (65 of 215) of the games ended in the second inning.​
• 38% (82 of 215) of the games went beyond the non-breaker's second visit to the table. The game with the most innings ended on the non-breaker's 10th visit to the table.​

■ 24% (52 of 215) of the games were run out by the player who was at the table following the break. These run-outs were:
• By the breaker after successful breaks (B&R games) – 24% (27 of 114);​
• By the non-breaker after fouls on the break – 67% (12 of 18); and​
• By the non-breaker after dry breaks – 16% (13 of 83).​

■ The player who made the first ball after the break:
• Won the game in that same inning 43% of the time (92 of 215);​
• Won the game in a later inning 23% of the time (49 of 215); and​
• Lost the game 34% of the time (74 of 215).​

■ The average elapsed time for these 15 races to 10 was 100 minutes, averaging 7.0 minutes per game. The elapsed time for each match was measured from the lag until the winning ball was made, so it includes time for racking and timeouts.

■ The match that was both longest in elapsed time, at about 2 hours and 44 minutes, and highest in average minutes per game, at 8.6, was Sevastyanov d. Gorst 10-9.

■ The match that was both shortest in elapsed time, at about 55 minutes, and lowest in average minutes per game, at 4.6, was Oi d. Rodriguez 10-2.

■ Breaking fouls averaged 1 for every 11.9 games, other fouls 1 for every 3.3 games, and missed shots about 1 for every 1.1 games.

■ One or more safeties were played in about 56% of all games and 64% of games that were not B&Rs.

I think the stats are a little unusual due to the very wide range of abilities of the contestants versus previous events.
 
The clear winner in stats is Yapp. Great update with the details.

I really thought Oi was going to win this one when he had a 907 against Arseni, but it looks like he didn't keep going strong when he faced Yapp.
