This sounds kind of weird to me; when a team is only going to one or two regionals a year, having their robot "always playing in the elims" is a silly kind of statement. That sounds more like a competitive
team to me, one that has played enough years to justify the above trend.
I think it should be more along the lines of "usually wins their matches and is a likely pick for elims". That leads to the same result as what you said, but is a little bit clearer from a statistical point of view. It will be easier to gauge the trend off of 2 dozen matches than off of two alliance selection rounds.
