This evens out teams that had one really amazing year, and also top teams that had an "off" year (eg, 1114 only won one regional  in 2009).
I suspect the teams that we'll see at the top are the ones already being talked about, but there might be a few surprises. I think it's at least a more statistically significant calculation of the "best" teams (from a competition standpoint) over time.
*I pick 4 because it's the maximum turnover time for a high school student on a team. Other time blocks could be used

Remind me after the season and we'll grab the data and we'll see what we can do for this sort of thing. I know Zondag has some interesting stuff with weighted averages in his spreadsheet (linked earlier by BJC I think). I think it'd be interesting to see how it moves over time more than anything.
