By "seed" do you mean alliance?
Interesting result. I think it was 2014 that an 8th seed alliance won, so if you got to finals as 8th seed you had a 50% of winning lol.

Yes, that's what I meant. I chose weird wording when I wrote it last year and felt like keeping it consistent. I may upload a reworded revision later today.

It was last year. Two #8 alliances made it to finals, and one won, hence the 50%. This year, no #8 alliances won, but nearly twice as many advanced past quarterfinals, because defeating the #1 alliance was not required to do so.
