Sorry guys - I messed up my own conclusions!  
Yes, the figures show that UN-assisted guys dominate.
My argument would be - even when you let the guys use spots
enter the same single op category - the UN-assisted ops  would do better.
My apologies for clouding things.  Get rid of the assisted category...
very little would change about who wins.

    What I did was take the top scores from assisted and unassisted and

    Other than in HP CW, the assisted operators score higher and dominate
    the top 20 combined standings.
  Jamie,
   
  Huh?  Am I reading your data wrong, or am I missing something?  It appears 
that the top assisted guys are 7th on average in the overall top twenty 
standings and that only 25-30% of the top twenty scores are assisted.
  Unless I'm completely out to lunch with my interpretation of the data, I 
wouldn't consider that as "dominating".
