The average red score was 26.399 and the average blue score was 24.772. That's a difference of 1.627 points per match. Does anyone else think that this is a significant difference.

I don't think so...if it were like, a 10 point difference I would say so, but I think it's just a random variance or something

Even over 6822 matches?

I would consider it a small margin, considering some of those matches are eliminations, where red is the higher seed and thus should put up more points.

Remember that in the eliminations, the red alliance starts out as the highest seeds. If you ignore the elimination matches, Blue has a slight advantage 22.36 to 22.12.

I forgot about red having the advantage of being the higher seed in eliminations. 0.24 is a much more reasonable margin.
