Re: Strongest regional competitions
To account for competitiveness in terms of the robot competition alone (no other awards), I propose a new ranking system : WORldS last yEar ranking, or WORSE. (I really wanted that acronym.)

Since comparing teams relevant to their region is generally not going to tell you which region is strongest, we can instead use the ranking of the teams at the last world championships. Each team that attended worlds is given a score equivalent to (100- division ranking from last year).

This isn't perfect as great teams can miss worlds and, as we all know, the rankings can be messed up - but I think it'll work better than BBQ.

Anyone with access to the data and better computer skills than me want to try it?
