I looked at querying the master database used by the grading system. Unfortunately it's difficult to categorise events consistently and often different names get used for the same event across seasons. As an experiment I tried: Swiss event; not allegro; 5 rounds; no age restrictions; Grand Prix points awarded.
This gave the following rough data; it's not exact by any means. I think that to get accurate and consistent stats for congresses does require some manual digging around and tidy up, which I've not done.
