But if those sources you quote originated with the database how have you
avoided infringing on their "expression" of the facts? Wouldn't you have
to attend or have people who did attend report on the majority of the
scores and only use a small number from other sources?

Now there are other issues. Enforcement. If everyone can copyright this
list of information and all plausably claim independent authorship how
can anyone be found to be infringing?
