This is poor reasoning to determine the strength of a regional that has already happened.
The Wisconsin regional this year is a perfect example. Many people ignored Wisconsin to watch Midwest, who had 111, 71, 148, 16, and 1625. Wisconsin had 2194, 2826, 1714, 48, 1732, and 2169, less known, yet all of whom at least advanced to the semi finals in their divisions. The average qualification scores were 16.2 for Midwest, and 25.0 for WI, and the average elimination scores were 41.3 for Midwest and 56.3 for WI, which was the 4th highest among all regionals/districts this year. Needless to say, people missed some pretty awesome competition.
Relating that back to this scenario, the average qual scores at KC were 19.0, and elim scores were 43.4. compared to the 16.2 and 41.3 at Midwest.
