On an alliance level the skew isn't particularly awful. On a robot level I'm sure it is much more pronounced since you miss out on the averaging across 3 robots.
(Across qualifying matches in the FRCFMS twitter feed in 2010, the mean match score was 4.2, the median was 4)
On a related note, I've always been surprised looking at historical data at how large the gap is between winning and losing alliances. I wonder if game "goodness" can be correlated to the size of that gap...
