So come eliminations we could circle defenses/write notes for enemy teams, etc.

The cumulative bar charts you have published across the venues is also really cool, although I wonder how much teams are relying on that data rather than their own notes for alliance selection
We use a similar method, where we print out a sheet with match specific data before each match, in addition to a strategy sheet. They are really helpful for pre-match strategy, especially during quals. One thing it made really easy was defense selection, I could just look at which defenses they had crossed least or failed most and easily make picks.
