Let me tell you, there was a BIG difference. In fact, none of the top 8 teams would have come up in the same order, and with the exception of 772 at Smoky Mountain, 4161 in San Diego, 247 at Gull Lake, and 341 at Hatboro-Horsham, the number one seeded team would have been different. And teams as far down as the 7th Seed could have become 1st seed (3568 at Kettering).
Keep in mind that had the coopertition bridge not been in play, the win-loss record probably would have been a bit different. Many of the top teams placed a high priority on the coop bridge going into this past weekend. I'm willing to bet that the standings would have been pretty similar if the coop bridge didn't exist.
