I was really surprised to see how 'age bonus' points work out... There are some teams that have played at one event, and are ranked behind a 1st year rookie team that hasn't played at all. That'll make things interesting.

Also worth considering the 8 point bonus for winning RAS and the 5 point bonus for Rookie Inspiration. There are 5 rookie teams in MAR this season. Team 5113 is guaranteed to win RAS at Lenape, since they are the only rookie team attending. Not sure if they'll get Rookie Inspiration also. The 4 other rookie teams will divide the remaining 3 RAS and Rookie Inspiration awards (SCH, BR, CLI). No rookies attended MO.
So the rookie impact is much stronger in MAR than in other regions due to our low count.
All told, it'll be 10 points for everyone plus their share of the 52 points from rookie awards, so in effect it's more like a 20 point rookie bonus.
Team 5113 has essentially already qualified for MAR champs with their guaranteed haul of 52 points - they're a great little inbound bot and were great to work with in our match at Horsham.
