Hey look! I can see me waving!

Damian - very nice work. Another interesting overlay would be to show the location of the competition events. It would be a nice indicator of the correlation between event locations and team concentrations (and where future events should be located).

It would be harder to obtain the data, but it would also be very interesting to map the locations of teams that no longer exist, and when they dropped out of the program. Is there a geographic correlation between teams that drop out of the program and things like distance to nearest regional, distance to Manchester, regional of the country, etc.?
