Furthermore your data is missing the J+J sportsmanship award for 2000, which we (team 108) won.

I'm not singling out your post, but I think we should hold off trying to correct the data.
The reason I say this is that I found myself composing a very similar letter myself. (A few awards were missing from my team as well)
Before we get into the Data integrity stage, lets work the format out. I think this a good "test" set of data. Let's leave it as it is, and concentrate on getting a final form. I think the excel sheet is great, but for this to be truly viable, it would most likely need to be a database back end, serving web queries up on the fly. Although even as I write this, I think why does it have to be dynamic. Most of the content is static for 10 months of the year. It would only change during competitions. The only case I could make for dynamic data is comparing one team against another.
My only concern is this,
I really hope people don't become too enamored by this. My team is a good characterization of this. We've had good years, and we've had off years. Thankfully, the good years, (4 of them five if you count this year) out weigh the bad years (2).
