That being said, the well deserving are rising to the tops of these lists anyway.
Agreed that depth of particular event will impact these (although so far less than 2014 that it really isn't funny).

Unfortunately, to my knowledge, there's no way to determine how much was scored in each category in each match this year... the twitter feed used to supply this data, enabling 'category OPR.' Without that, this is the best that can be done without a ton of effort.

(Edit: just realized I thought this was in Ether's thread with the category averages... guess the second bit is pretty much irrelevant. Ether's thread with top 25 in each average of category is quite interesting; look out for Ed Law's week 3 update for his OPR/CCWM spreadsheet)
