I like your idea and I think it would work but I don't see the reason to keep the data private during the competition season. There is no hurt that I know of from the data being public. Also that would help the rookie teams or teams that don't have a proper scouting team in place to collect data. Also what is the point of the data after the season, it is more like a incentive that isn't really an incentive to the teams that aren't part of this but want the data or need the data. I don't know. Just seems improper that you aren't releasing the data to the public and keeping it private until the season is over.
