We can't afford to go with "let's look at Week 1" method, because doing so is essentially screwing over week 1. We need to fix the problem BEFORE the competitions begin, rather than tell all teams competing in week 1 that they are just the test subjects.
And the best and closest examples we have, while not exactly the same, are previous years' games.

Maybe I don't understand the purpose of this data. What problem are we fixing? (I sure hope your not using this data as proof that G14 is a bad rule and shouldn't be used).

I do agree with you and Bongle that this is the best data we have, but it simply isn't good enough to make any conclusive statements.
