Most Competitive Events in 2015?
Billfred's BBQ (Blue Banner Quotient) is a fun statistic used to calculate how difficult an event is.
In the 2015 season, the Waterloo Regional and FIM's Livonia District have the highest BBQs. The average team attending these events has more than 3 blue banners hanging in their shop. Livonia has the most blue banners in attendance of any event this year, with teams 27, 67, 217, and 503 each accounting for more than a dozen of the event's total 129 blue banners. I'm excited to see how these events play out in the spring. Code:

Interestingly Waterloo is the only event within a couple hours from Ontario that still has spots available.

How many events have a mode BBQ > 0? What's the median BBQ for the events?

Re: Most Competitive Events in 2015?
Can anybody link me to a source that scrubs that usfirst.org site for the team lists at each event and lets me download it in a convenient format, such as csv or a table that I can copy and paste?
I'd be interested in generating and posting some event comparisons using historical data if I can find an easy way to generate those team lists. |

Re: Most Competitive Events in 2015?
I really thought Arkansas would be higher with a "headliner" team list of: 16, 1625, 1986, 2451, and 2481. Along with many great up and coming powerhouse teams such as 3284, 3847, 3937, and 4522, but I guess with it being a huge event numbers wise and having a lot of younger Arkansas teams lowered it a bit.

Re: Most Competitive Events in 2015?
These are certainly interesting statistics, but I am wondering what is really being shown here. I feel like the age of the region that holds the event is a big contributor to BBQ, since the older the teams are, the more chances they have to win blue banners. For example, if I did my math right, the 2014 Minnesota State Championship had a BBQ of 1.13. Although I concede that even the MN State Championship did not have the same caliber of competition as some of the better regional events, I am certain that the caliber of the competition there was much better than that of the average regional.
Basically, BBQ can probably have good uses, but rating the difficulty of the competition at an event is generally not one of them. |

Can we get a Legend for each of the names? Some of these are hard to decipher.
