Notes:
- 310 events have been sampled so far.
- The table will be updated as 2023 event detail updates are submitted.
- When an event did not run last year, the comparison is made against when the event last ran.
- Where an event is resting in 2023, no comparison is made.
- Some events will not have run for two or more years, and this may result in a disproportionate step increase.
