We do not have the manpower or experience to pull a 51 and record every foul and coach other teams through their problem areas. At our next event we will make a point to bring it up before every match so everyone knows.
At the end of the season I would be curious to see how many teams make or do not make the DCMP by foul points.

I agree that would be an interesting metric, although the match data doesn't show how deserving the fouls were or how consistently they were called.
As you are probably aware the twitter data (caveats apply) shows 1778 lost one match and won another at Mt Vernon due to fouls, so no net impact.
