This is something I've been meaning to put together for some time - a thread conveniently wrapping up the main results and statistics of previous Ghibli Cups! I could never figure out how to post tables on here, so I took the chance to make nicer-looking images using Excel. You can see those here (I'll update them each year!) and for anybody who can't view images, the same information will be posted in a more utilitarian way in the next post, along with a few miscellaneous stats and links to each year's information thread.
I'm leaving the thread open, so feel free to comment if you wish!
