Re: Red Advantage ?
 

At a couple of the regionals I was at in 06 and 07 one side had advantage because there was a window letting in natural lighting that occansionally would confuse the vision cameras during auto-mode.
That being said I would assume that the big delta in the qualifier rounds was due to the 256 point possibility. Looking back I rememer a lot more red-rings than blue rings (all 8). That could be because of finals though. A few extra 256 matches would dramatically throw off the average.
