But mid-tournament rankings can affect strategy in upcoming matches. In a very simple (and naive case), if you're quickly trying to determine if you still have a chance at making the top 8, you may want to see the relative strengths of the teams ahead of you, and tracking the averages is more helpful than total scores because it helps normalize across # matches played. (Clearly you should be keying in on the robot's abilities rather than just their total points scored w.r.t your match strategy, but ranking certainly is an important indicator as well).
