Here's Microsoft's patch for Office 2000-2003 that will allow compatibility with Office 2007 formats. It will let you open and save files in the .xlsx format, but it will cause some of the fancier new features (mostly the themes, and some of the graphics tools) to lose their "magic" and become normal objects.

Awesome statistics! Out of curiosity, did you have similar scouting sheets for past years? It'd be great to see some data from the 06 and 07 years (and maybe earlier for some of the other teams).

Both the new (.xlsx) and old (.xls) formats are available here:

That should cover the bulk of users.

This is pretty amazing. Thank you very much for releasing this information. I'll be sure to pass it on to our scouts, and take a thorough look at it myself. This is a wonderful tool.

Thanks to 1114 for making this wonderful resource available once again!

In case anyone wants to make corrections to their local copy, 134 was champion at NH and 16th pick.

[Barry Bonzack]

I <3 statistics.

[Andy Grady]

Excelent job as always Karthik...

One bit of incorrect data I found though. Team 134 is listed in the database as not having made the eliminations at BAE. They actually won the regional with 121 and 40.

Extremely useful tool...I'll be using it heavily at championships.

FYI- Some of the teams going to the championship don't have championship rankings and percentages. I was looking through the teams and noticed that.

[Chris Herold]

Well, those scores are really nice and the table and database have a great quality.
Still, I think you should be careful with the conclusions from the database about the teams.
If you have a look at our scores, for example. The scores for the Seattle Regional are lower for us than for the Portland Regional.
Even though, our team was 5-2-0 in the qualification rounds in Portland, we didn't play 3 of those matches due to technical issues!
In contrast, in Seattle, we were quite dominating, scoring a lot of points and ending up as an alliance-captain and finally as the winner of the regional. During the tournament we didn't break down. In the finals we had a large contribution and didn't lose any game.
We greatly improved between those two regionals (teams that saw both regionals will tell you that), but the database does not really reflect that.
This is again caused by the OPR that are not reflecting at all what percentage of scoring a team does and closer data about the team itself. I think our scouting system gives us more, and detailed information about the teams themself, even though it needs more time to be evaluated...

I am just saying that our team is a good example of the disadvantages for these kinds of statistics

Agreed. But I'm sure that the top teams who will be selecting know how to scout well and not to rely just on past statistics like this.

The tool itself is awesome but should only supplement strategy and scouting meetings along with your own up-to-date data from scouting in your division.

Great job once again Karthik.
