Did a little work and came up with this, top 9 by GLI rating. Busta and Manalo are doing amazing so far!
enjoy.
So far average Break and run of 13.02% I'll do some more later.

**Bustamante should read 5-0**
 
You also ...

I guess you guys haven't had much math, huh? They only broke
half of the games played. You better double those B&R percentages.
Django averaged 56.67% break and run.

Great job. I'd love to see the whole field done like that after the event.
 
I didn't say it was from wins or breaks, and you can't just double, thats wrong, Busta broke much more then half the games, winner breaks it's not alternating break, he broke very close to 40 times, not just 30, so you can't double it so Busta would be closer to 40% not 56%

The 13.02% is a % of break and runs from total games played.

Break and Run % from wins is 26.03% of all wins in round 1 were from Break and runs.

There is no exact total for how many times a player broke, you can come real close but they need to keep numbers on player breaks, then you could get an exact stat of how often a player breaks and runs out.

Well actually Busta probably has a similar amount of breaks as games he won. It's a bit hard to know for sure, especially as they allow sending in the opponent to break after a win, which I noticed Gabe Owen started doing to Ralf Souquet.

Your right Colin, using the wins is as close as we can get, I used the games, but I'm going to switch it to the wins and I'll try and post the whole field later:)
 
Winner breaks ...

So, it was winner breaks, not alternate? I think
alternate would have been fairer across the board.

I dunno, Scott. I kind of like the idea of being able to send your opponent to break after you win. On another thread, in the Main, I posted an Accustat statistic that showed the winner in "average pro" events in 8-ball went to the NON-Breaker. Interesting idea; being able to send your opponent to the break after a win.


Later,
Bob

Here's a strategy question. If your break is not going well for you and your opponent exercises this option. Is there some sort of safety break that is legal? I know Ralf is strong on safety play. Could he soft break it and turn it into a safety game?

Legal break is 5 object balls to a rail. If you didn't make a legal break, but had some spread, it might be easy to get the 3 consecutive fouls.

Most of Allison's breaks, she was lucky to send any past the side pocket. I saw one where she must have fouled because when I looked back, she had turned it over to Niels and was not happy with herself (and the cameraman was right there in her face). I believe Niels broke and ran from there. It might have cost her the chance to move on.

Here something you didn't know

Did you guys know there is nothing in the rules of 8 ball
(BCA anyway) that says you have to hit the 1st or 2nd ball
of the rack when breaking? I know, lol, because I miscued
once on the break in a tournament, and the cue went left
of the rack and came back off the end rail with english to
hit between the wing ball and the 2nd ball of the last row.

My opponent jumped up and down hollering foul, and everything
stopped while 2 different tournament directors got the rules out,
and combed through them to see if it was a foul.

Well, it wasn't. Funny thing is, a ball went in from the break, and
I ended up running the table for the win of the game and match.
My opponent went off somewhere muttering insane things under
his breath.

I was playing my father-in-law once and suggested we try some straight pool. He has the break and calls a ball in the side. I thought that is insane. He then kicks two rails into the back of the rack and the freakin' ball rockets into the side. I would love to learn how he did it, but he will probably take that one to his grave.

Seen that one

Tracy ... I have seen that one, only it was when I was young, and playing
1 pocket with an old guy that was good. Except back then when you played
1 pocket, we always played where you could call any pocket as your pocket,
and he called a side pocket as his. Well, he beat me pretty bad, and it was
the first time I ever saw anyone call a side pocket for theirs, but it sure used
to mess with all the players that always called one of the corner pockets in 1 pocket. It threw them completely off their game with him playing a side pocket.

I am glad someone else has seen it. I thought after I wrote it, no one is going to believe that. I saw him do it more than once, so I know there has to be a way to practice it. Did you notice which ball the old man hit?
