I'm looking forward to seeing if and how many 300 point plus alliance totals we may see.

I'm assuming that any alliance that can get into the semifinals of divisions (and certainly Einstein) can put up at least 5 stacks which seems quite reasonable. There will be almost certainly be at least one alliance in each division capable of this. Just a few uncapped totes puts this alliance completely out of reach.

I get that this holds, and with the math it makes total sense. We did it from the perspective of quantity of game pieces score at their most valuable placement rather than total points.
However, this analysis makes a fundamental assumption that there exist alliances A, B, C, & D in the Semis who were capable of handling that quantity of game pieces to begin with. Maybe that's an easier data set to come up with - given the tote & container scores posted, which C & D alliances at what events would have benefited from more canburglaring.
Again, not trying to say that canburglaring isn't absolutely critical for Champs - but rather trying to reflect on how design decisions are made early in the build season.

Watch the PNW champs. I expect the Divisions to be of higher quality. 3 alliances were over 200 points in the semis. RC availability will be constraining.
