the groupings came with my DB meter... i believe the readings are A weighted, but am not sure... i usually average the two...
my meter is a RadioShack meter, and works quite accurately (i've checked it at a local sound studio)
last year, at the Seattle regional, the readings went above 130dbSPL (the max for my meter) whenever people started stomping on the bleachers... it was, needless to say, earsplittingly loud.
