BBQ = Blue Banner Quotient
SAUCE = Sextuple Advancement Uniform Counting Era
A regional's BBQ is The number of blue banners earned by all teams in attendance, divided by the number of teams in attendance. It is intended to be a gauge by which to measure the power of the teams in attendance at a given regional.
A regional's SAUCE only counts blue banners earned since 2005, when 3v3 play started.
Blue banners are earned for Regional Chairman's Award, and Regional Champion teams. Each regional awards 4 blue banners per season (5 if the winning alliance called in a backup bot). The CMP Divisions award 3 banners each, for Division Champion, and CMP awards 3 blue banners for einstein champions, and 1 for Championship Chairmans. I'm unsure of how banners are awarded in MI's district model (mostly regarding CA's)
