I imagine that champs will be less likely to be decided by human player skill. Matches at regionals (especially qual matches) are more likely to be decided by human player skill, when there are very few robots that can score easily in any one match.

At the higher levels of competition, most discs will be scored by robots. There have been several teams who have already demonstrated it is possible to create very consistent 3-point scorers. I would be very surprised if any human player consistently achieved 50% accuracy on 3 pointers, which makes it difficult for them to compete with some of the bots at the higher levels of competition.
