Yes.
Not really, but I think that Newton is going to definitely set some score records. I know it's against 67, 1114, 2056, etc., but in the perfect match (which could happen), there will be a ton of scoring, and in the end a high-score. I know* 1717 and 330 (I know 1717, and heard 330 from a student on the team) were working on making their scoring faster in the weeks before champs, so with them and all of the other already strong scorers, fast scoring will be something that we're going to see a lot of on Newton. Especially if 1717 shares their vision tracking code.
So, while I can't say for sure the average score in Newton will be higher than every other division, I think we'll see some records and high scores.
