Not by record. Team A could be a high tier team, and get really unlucky with their schedule, giving them a 12-7-1 record across 2 regionals.
Team B could be a middle tier team with not as tough matches, and end up with a 14-4-2 record.
According to this, Team B should "move on" because they are the "better" team.
It may not happen when many teams have near perfect or perfect records, but when looking between 2 teams that are close to the cut, that schedule could make a difference.
