5/6 #1 seeds won the regional.
1/6 #3 seeds won the regional.
It appears the ranking system is doing its job.

Few others:
Having two minibots will make you a great alliance.
Having two sub-2 second minbots will make you an outstanding alliance.
Ubertubes are really worth 12 points because any decent alliance will score a logo over the ubertube.
Like minbots, scoring two ubertubes on the top rack will make you great, 3 and you are near unbeatable.

The only time you will ever see a scoring rack completely filled up is at the end of the day.

Go for the top rack or find some other way to help the alliance.

Many alliances never entered the lane. I suspect this will change in the coming weeks.
