Thanks for the great data! |
You are correct Kim. What a couple of Powerhouses tend to do is push up the average, but if they are the only ones, it then causes a poor SNR value.
To cherry pick a few neat examples of 2013 data, in general the more teams play they better they get. Bedford was about 75% 3rd event teams, and had an amazing average. It also had a very good SNR as most teams could score reasonably well. While this s neat, check out Crossroads. It had a ton of overlap with Boilermaker. Crossroads also had a ton of second event teams. You see simlar trending between Traverse City and West Michgan (which is very similar overlap and timing). I did a quick check on Pine Tree, and there was a lot of overlap with BAE, and only 1 of the top 10 ranked was competing at their first regional for the year....
Fun data Jim. It is neat to see events "grow", and get more competitive.
