I would think the opposite is the truer statement... You may be confusing toughest with best.
It seems tougher to play when no one wants to be cooperative or helpful. While it is true that when all the bots at the regional are competitive, the caliber of play is raised, it is still very hard to play with robots that don't work or that don't play fair, and that swiftly spirals into a bitter litany of "we lost a match because of so-and-so purposely flipping us or because so-and-so's robot broke down in a feeder lane" excuses. It is less tough on the spectators and competitors when everyone is at the top of their game.
