I cannot give you that data but I can show you how many matches caused a G14 to be called. From here you can determine if it is even worth looking at its affect.

I have attached 5 images (apparently you can only attach 5 files to a post, go figure) They are just some quick little graphics I tossed together. Each circle represents a match on the specified field. A red circle is a red win and a blue circle is a blue win. The intensity of the circles show how much the win was by, an intense blue means blue blew out red. A green dot denotes that a g14 penalty was assessed against the winning team (based purely on score, I assumed penalties were nonexistent just for the sake of having a quick program.)

Look at the occurrence of green dots and decide if G14 even had enough of an impact to warrant discussion. (And remember, they are just dots)

(I do have an image generated for all the regionals, these are based on the FRCFMS data so your mileage may vary, and these are available should anyone want them.)

EDIT: Anyone who has any suggestions on how to make the images more useful feel free to PM me.
