Ok, so all I've really done this weekend is crunch numbers....and since the big-ball matches average score/time didnt get much response, I'm posting some that are a little more....intriguing.
These are the teams from each regional who recieved the large ball multiplier the most frequently.
Regional: Team number (number of times big ball multiplier scored)
VCU: 384 (4), 497 (4)
KSC: 351 (6), 34 (5), 312 (5), 234 (5)
Long Island: 545 (5), 105 (3), 190 (3), 270 (3)
West Michigan: 71 (5), 74 (5), 67 (3), 85 (3), 302 (3), 535 (3)
Lone Star: 418 (8), 34 (6), 438 (6)
NYC: 571 (5), 371 (4), 713 (3)
NJ: 103 (6), 175 (6), 203 (5), 211 (5), 191 (4), 174 (4)
UTC: 140 (4), 230 (4), 562 (4), 131 (3), 67 (3)
SoCal: 259 (4), 698 (4), 634 (3), 691 (3)
Midwest: 234 (8), 101 (6), 71 (5), 108 (5)
Silicon Valley: 330 (5), 376 (5), 254 (4)
Philly: 103 (6), 165 (6), 56 (5), 134 (5), 293 (5), 466 (5)
Great Lakes: 280 (5), 74 (3), 85 (3)
I checked these numbers twice, but if I screwed up in the counting anywhere, please just let me know.
So....my question is, what does this data show? Does it show the best big-ball pickers? Or rather, does it show that teams dont care what ball gets picked up? Or both?
