Great analysis.
It would seem that later season events would give you a slight edge as the event winner could be a multiple which would give you some additional chances of making it to the championship. While that additional slot may not seem like much, for a non-rookie team, it is essentially an additional 1 slot compared to the 5 non-rookies can compete for or a 20% advantage. For 6/20, it would be 2 additional slots relative to the 5 you can compete for or a 40% bump...
There are some teams that from the outside appear to strategically approach early season events. I wonder if now they will instead take on late season events as several of those late season events now have essentially an additional slot.
