Both Indiana and PNW Championships had roughly equal qualifying averages (though PNW had a larger amount of teams), but PNW had higher elims scores. I believe that this is because both districts had similar amounts of teams with a certain skill (aka the top 10% can score X, the next 10% can score Y, etc.) but PNW had the higher elims scores since there were more top-tier teams to choose from come alliance selections (77% of Indiana teams were in finals, while only 37.5% of PNW teams were in finals).

By this token, #1 seed in Michigan will be hovering around 170 average (probably higher since Michigan has some worldwide top tier teams - 1023 scored higher than this last weekend), and almost all of the teams will be over 100 average. The elims will be really high scores, though!
