I have to agree. Most/all of them could have been picked up with spell check, and they render the otherwise interesting paper difficult to read at best.

I did, however, read the whole thing, and I like the analysis you tried to do, although removing a few numbers to make the data look good is a little sketchy. When asking how many mentors each team had, you should have specified exactly what "mentor" meant, instead of removing a few cases that seemed to be outliers.

I'm actually quite surprised that according to your data, budget had no correlation with OPR, considering team budgets tend to increase as teams need to advance to higher levels of competition, therefore a team that was good enough to qualify for championship would have a larger budget.
