If I remember correctly, the rankings were based on the losing teams score. Their strategy of grabbing all three goals didn't work well for qualifying matches.

71 did not lose pleanty of matches in 2002. They won almost all of their matches but because the qualification score for the winning alliance was 3x the losing alliances score they would always score either 0 or very low. They did lose at Midwest against 93 in a qualification round when 93 was able to slam into the goal before 71 and lodged the goal into 71's robot essentially disabling their robot. Ahhh the days before bumpers....
Congrats though to the High Rollers. This is an amazing feat for an amazing team!
