Did people notice this at other regionals? Or are there other trends?
This was certainly the trend at Superior; the fender bots weren't completely equalized in the elims but the shift to key scoring was certainly noticeable.

I predict that we will see a further progression where key shooting becomes the norm and perimeter shooting becomes the exception. Key shooting is safer but being able to shoot from anywhere would reduce time between loading and shooting.
