Overall results
Here's a breakdown of the 225 games (for match winners and losers combined).
Break-and-run games -- The 43 break-and-run games represented 19% of all 225 games, 34% of the 126 games won by the breaker, and 29% of the 149 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 43 break-and-run games consisted of 1 alternate-break 3-pack (by Filler), 3 alternate-break 2-packs (Gorst, Pagulayan, and Martinez), and 34 singles.
10-balls on the break -- The 10-ball was made on the break 2 times (0.9% of the 225 breaks), but it was immediately spotted (with the breaker continuing to shoot) rather than counting as a win.
