Re: Serpentine Draft

Using the most advanced pen and post-it note technology I have lazily gathered some data from week 5 this year and last year. Usual data caveats apply that this is a small sample size and whatnot.

Out of the 20 week 5 events in 2014:

1st Seed - 8
2nd Seed - 3
3rd Seed - 4
4th Seed - 2
5th Seed - 1
6th Seed - 2

Out of the 14 week 5 events of 2013:

1st Seed - 8
2nd Seed - 3
3rd Seed - 1
4th Seed - 1
5th Seed - 1

Any alliance not mentioned did not earn a victory at a regional or district event. As far as "official" statistics go this data is probably considered useless but it is fun speculation and if anyone would like to add data from another week that would be appreciated.

Notably, being the #1 seed (and pick) seems to show a clear correlation to success. The 2nd seed doesn't do bad either but past that it seems pretty even. I would need more data to really do anything.
