Teams tend to drastically overestimate how many other teams will be good scorers at regionals. A lot of teams will have a lot of trouble scoring, especially at their first event, and will be looking for things to do other than pure scoring. Tube passing is one. Defense is another, but this game doesn't call for as much defense as it seems in my personal opinion.

and what do you think that the average attributes will be common amongst them? would two teams with 1 scorer and 2 runners get in each others ways?
Not any more than 3 scorers versus 3 scorers would. 2 runners for 2 slots is a pretty good balance, with some "spot" defense here and there to slow down critical tubes.
