How do you know which team has the most minibot points per match to make this assignment if all previous assignments were done similarly (using past results to make the assignment). How do you make the initial assignment (a team's first minibot deployment), if they have no past data to base an assignment on? It seems to me like a self-fulfilling prophecy where if you score a first place minibot in each of your first couple tries, you will receive first-place credit for any future situations where combined points have to be split between two teams.

Also, I assume you're including all regional data for these results and not just the most recent regional for each teaim?

Let me know if I'm misunderstanding this.
