I'm thinking a better way might be to count event wins as 2 pts, and event finalists as 1 pt, divide by number of teams.

This is because a regional being hard to win has little to do with CAs EIs or anything else. How well the teams "Get FIRST" has very little to do with how awesome their robot is. I'm not denouncing the validity of these awards, just discounting their merit for the purposes of measuring difficulty.

We could call it WAFER: Winner And Finalist Equalizing Rank.

You could split it at the 2005 3v3 era, i'm just not sure this has much merit either. Pre-2005 alliances still had 3 teams on them, just 2 on the field.
