Re: Most Competitive Events in 2015?
These are certainly interesting statistics, but I am wondering what is really being shown here. I feel like the age of the region that holds the event is a big contributor to BBQ, since the older the teams are, the more chances they have to win blue banners. For example, if I did my math right, the 2014 Minnesota State Championship had a BBQ of 1.13. Although I concede that even the MN State Championship did not have the same caliber of competition as some of the better regional events, I am certain that the caliber of the competition there was much better than that of the average regional.

Basically, BBQ can probably have good uses, but rating the difficulty of the competition at an event is generally not one of them.
