I will miss "Looking Forward" too, but I respect their reasons for stepping back.

Perhaps we could come up with a standardized set of statistics to give a timely "look back" at the events and their participants.

Event stats could include average or median winning and losing scores for qualification & eliminations, average number of tubes hung in autonomous, average rack scores, average number of minibots per match - things that describe the general level of competition and track improvements as the season progresses.

Individual team stats could be tracked in a way similar to to the FiM model which is based on qual match results, qual. match rank, order of selection for elimination rounds, elimination results, and judged awards. Some sort of Offensive Power Ranking or Defensive Power Ranking component in the team score would also be valuable. Many teams already have their own versions of this that they use for scouting (such as 1114's great sytem).

Individual team ranking scores would have limitations for teams that only attend one event, but it is an objective way to track teams' performance. It would be fun to keep track of, and would be a good scouting too.

Event stats give us a chance to see if our pre-season predictions were correct...

Any suggestions for a consistent scoring method?
