I also really want to see how removing non-competitive awards would affect the rankings.
If you do OPR mapping of 1st event to second event to third event, you will find some really neat trends. For open scoring games (non-2011), the event to event increase is pretty impressive for the first 3 events for most teams with some "flat-lining" after that. Some of the teams that practice more will "flat-line" earlier.
