Actually, a maximum of three matches can be decided by one point: everything else is averages.
But since we're talking averages, let's discuss.
Last year's Palmetto Regional saw teams play nine qualification rounds. You get one more tote in teleop in one match (so, +2), and your average score increases by 2/9=.22. By the same math, that 20-point autonomous stack? 2.22 points to your average if you pull it off
once.
In the quarterfinals, where you only get two matches? 2/2=1.00, 20/2=10.00.
If you're not scoring at least the robot set in autonomous, you'd better be lining up something pretty freakin' sweet for teleop.
