Just copy the data from the web site and past into Excel. Then sort by the appropriate column that you want to look at.

Personally, I adjust the point values given to the CP (CP*10=Adj. CP). To get an overall performance ranking for teams use the following equation: HP+BP+TP+Adj. CP = Total Points.

This data can also be useful to pre-scout the teams attending your next event.

I have attached the Detroit Data as an example.

So you are ranking teams based on the alliance score in this example? If you are using alliance stats, you aren't getting a true picture of individual robots. Your posted ranks vary greatly from our individually scouted ranks. Some teams are carried by alliances, and some are hurt by alliances, which is why individual scouting is needed. (IMHO)
