Clean, effective defense will be noticed by good scouts.
In our experience at Regionals not all of the top 8 teams (or the 8 alliance captains which extends further down) have great qualitative scouting. (We were there a few years ago.) So making a pitch to the teams sitting in 4-10 could be fruitful.
