As of 2009, the national title holders have qualified 98 out of a possible 176 times and, on average, have qualified more than five out of ten years for the national competition. Statistically speaking, once one of them does qualify, on average, their team has more than a one in five chance of winning the competition. Chances are more than six out of ten that they will finish in the top five; nearly nine times out of ten, the team will finish in the top ten.

Team UAH, the Berkeley Bears, Clemson's 3CT, and the UW-Madison Badgers are the only teams to have won the competition more than once. All four schools have won back-to-back titles; the Berkeley Bears are the only school to have accomplished this feat twice. UW-Madison stands alone in winning five consecutive national championships but Team UAH, the Bears, and the Badgers all hold five of them.

As of 2009, the sponsors have awarded $198,000 in prize money. There have been 20 schools that received scholarship awards. Berkeley leads the pack:

Berkeley ($38.5 k); UAH ($35k); Clemson ($26k); Wisconsin-Madison ($25k); Michigan State ($14k); OSU ($8k); FIT ($6.5k); University of Nevada, Reno ($6.5k); Cal State Sacramento ($5k); Maryland ($5k); South Dakota School of Mines ($5k); Cal Poly-SLO ($4k); ETS ($4 k); New Hampshire ($4k); UNO ($3k); University of Florida ($2.5k); Akron ($1.5k); Michigan Tech ($1.5k); University at Buffalo ($1.5k); WKU ($1.5k).

Average placements (1988-2009) for all schools involved in the competition since 2000:

Average placements were calculated for the most recent participants in the National Concrete Canoe Competition (2000 or later) by dividing the sum of their final placements by the number of times that they appeared at the national level. Statistics have not been included for schools placing lower that seventh in 1990 because those statistics are not known at this time.

The placements range from a maximum of 1.00 to a minimum of 26.00. No attempt has been made to rank the participants by taking into account factors such as improvement over time, the categories won at the competition, etc. UAH has the highest average placement of 3.60 computed based on fifteen national appearances:

Average for Team UAH = [5+6+7+2+1+1+1+2+1+2+6+1+3+7+9]/15 = 54/15 = 3.60.

Schools having an average placement in the top five (as of 2009):

For the record, the University of Alabama in Huntsville has been competing in the concrete canoe competition since 1986. Our first boat was 12 feet long and weighed 450 lb, and we finished dead last at the Southeast Regional competition. In 1987, we placed fifth overall in the region. The next year, we earned the right to represent the Southeast at the national level by placing first overall, as well as in the concrete canoe competition, at the regional level.
