Another interesting note is that (from glancing over) about half of the matches have several penalties in them.
And I'm watching NJ for the teams that will be attending VA. I have a full page of notes on the teams I'm specifically looking for, but that doesn't mean I'm not paying attention to other teams.

Sean is right in saying that a score as a number means nothing if we don't know how those points were scored. Were 1 or 2 minibots deployed, and what places did they finish in the race? How many complete logos were scored?

Though I do admit, it feels really nice when the high score for a regional belongs to an alliance you were part of
I've been through a Week 1 regional where my team's alliance held the highest score on the very first day of competition. It was an excellent feeling.

And Jesse, 148 just played again. 54 points (60 - 6 penalty points), still no minibot.
