Perhaps to the chagrin of some of the visitors from Texas and Florida, the 2015 Bayou Regional is anything but an easy win.

The Ninjaneers have shown the most so far, but if the kinks can be worked out of the other three machines they will be forces to be reckoned with. If they fail to improve enough, there are plenty of teams ready to pounce. South Florida finalists 3502 and defending champs 3937 are effective landfill stackers that could be key cogs to a collaborative alliance. Local favorites 2992 and rising Texas power 4587 will be making their debuts as well. If 3847 or 3959 can raise their consistency at the human player stations, they could be factors as well, but they have a ways to go before they catch up with 456's ability to create station-fed 36 point stacks. As it stands, Bayou is open for the taking. Some team will have to take their game to the next level if they want to walk away champions.
Thanks for the analysis as always !
