IMO rank doesn't mean much this year, resulting in scouting becoming an even more important element of the game.
Opposite of our experience in our 2 CA regionals. The top 4 or 6 teams were obvious and easily walked through the QFs. The top 2 teams each time were largely unchallenged.

One aspect might be the high skew in OPR in this year's game - unprecedented. See my post here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...=135689&page=5.

In regions without a few of the very high performers, the distribution may be more even and outcomes more uncertain. But that's not true in places where at least one of the high OPR teams appears.
