One of the things Chris Picone and I were discussing is the regional biases. Looking at it from a team density stand point Southeast Michigan has one of the highest team densities of any region in the globe. This means that nearly 100 teams have the ability of going to any of the events in the area and seeing teams. Compare this to Israel where there are a lot of teams but no one outside of Israel sees them (for the most part). I think that it would be very useful to make regional polls (or at least be able to see the regional influence). Since you are collecting team numbers already this should be pretty easy.

Also, was there a final conclusion reached on the experts' anonymity? My personal opinion is that experts should not be anonymous, they would then be forced to defend their opinions openly. Perhaps have them use pen names or something so they don't face personal backlash but still forcing them to remain somewhat consistent in their reasoning.
