Glen,
You are SO correct, for both Qualifying and Eliminations! I tried to stress an assist first strategy for Quals this weekend, forgoing most truss/catch points just to try and get as many 2 or 3 assist cycles as possible.
We missed out on the #1 seed at Waterford by 20 assist points (
) . In hindsight every single little missed assist, blown strategy call, mis-aligned shot, etc... factors into my post-event analysis.
My guess is that each Division qualification ranking at Champs wil come down to the assist tie breaker as well. Typically the quality of reffing in MI is much higher than the quality at Champs, since most refs around here are working an event each week. They are usually very qualified by this time in the season.
We will definately be discussing our match strategy and alliance robot characteristics pre-match with the refs at Champs.
