I watched 10 of the Bigfoot 10-Ball Challenge matches streamed by Inside Pool and Accu-Stats from the Derby City Classic.
The conditions for this event included: Diamond 10-foot tables with 4 7/16" corner pockets, Simonis cloth, Diamond wooden rack, winner breaks, rack your own, break from anywhere behind the line, no jump cues allowed, all slop counts, and a 40-second shot clock (last 2 matches only).
The 10 matches (166 games) were as follows (note: for personal or streaming reasons, I missed 11 of the 177 games in these 10 matches):
Overall results -- The breaker made at least one ball (and did not foul) 51% of the time (85 of 166), won 46% of the games (77 of 166), and broke and ran 15% of the games (25 of 166).
Here's a little more detailed breakdown of the 166 games.
10-balls on the break: The 25 break-and-run games included 2 10-balls on the break (1.2% of the 166 breaks).
