I'm not a statistician, but this is what I found.
I looked at the results for all of the MAR and NE events (8 total) and found the sum of an alliance's Qualification Score, Assist Score, and Autonomous Score. I then ranked these by event from 1-8 (to standardize by event, 1 being highest, 8 being lowest). Alliances were also ranked by what order they picked.
For the winning alliances the averages were:
Pick rank: 3.5
QS rank: 2.625
Assist rank: 5.125
Auto rank: 3
These results make sense. The alliance with the highest total QS score wins most of the time. Out of these options the best predictor of an alliance winning in eliminations is how much they won in qualifications.
Obviously actual scouting would be better for picking than this.
