Hey everyone! Thanks for your great response to the data, it certainly made my day

Anyways, I knew when I compiled this stuff that it didn't tell the whole story....most importantly, I couldn't include big-ball handlers in the finals, because FIRST's data (and I used FIRST's data to be safe) doesnt differenciate whos ball it is in the finals.

For instance, the infamous 710 round. That was done with a number of small balls that I forget , 2 large balls, all 4 in the end zone & 1:05 remaining. Now, upon inspection of the video, the big balls that counted were red & yellow, belonging to 71 & 234...If FIRST were giving the 10% in the finals, then those two teams would have 781, while the rest had 710...but FIRST's data turns a blind eye to whos ball it is, and thus I can't add finals into the data.

This is also going along with who can balance the bridge...there definetley isnt a way I can think of to come up with data for that....sure, I could count which teams werent in the end zone (and assume that they were on the bridge), but thats too unreliable for me & doesnt include off-bridge balancers.

If you want me to come up with percentages, I can do that....I just need to know how many matches were played in each regional.

To expand on this I might count the number of green balls scored, blue, red, etc....to see if there is a higher percentage of one color being scored over another.

I know my data doesnt tell the whole story, and I know that some simply beautiful ball pickers were left out (like the, as I like to describe it, "fluid" 177 machine), and I also know I can't take into account matches where balls were knocked off....but this is the best I could do.

Any other suggestions/stuff, let me know.
