A statistical theory based on phase space averaging is used to describe the disruption of bound four-body systems. The dominant final states are assumed to be either two binaries or one binary and two unbound particles. Cut-off parameters are required to render the phase space integrals finite, but they do not have an important effect on the population of a given final state configuration. The relative frequency of the two final states is, however, sensitive to the choice of cut-off. In this paper the mass distributions of the final states are calculated. Other distributions may be easily calculated following the procedure described here.
