I just finished re-doing my last year->this year stats with all the standings available rather than just GTR. There were 424 teams for which I could get data (most of the 2005 regionals don't have standings posted). What I did is I just took an average of their percent placing over all regionals attended each year. So if a team came 5th/50 (10%), 17th/51 (33%), and 1st/70 (1.4%), their average for the year would be 14%.

I've also marked out the 2006 championship finalists. Note that some of them didn't even do well in 2006 and still had success. 296 even turned themselves around from an (apparently, my stats might be bad) poor year in 2005 and had themselves a championship victory in 2006. This wouldn't be possible if they had been relegated to a lower division in 2005.
