I think the reason this tends to happen is because many of the top seeds decided to pick the top teams for stacking ability in addition to canburgling, and teams like 118, 987, 1114, etc. had both fast burglars and superior stacking ability (548 does too). When our team was making our pick list Friday night, we decided to favor 68 just ahead of 503 since 68 could make more stacks in addition to their canburglar, even though 503's canburglar was proven and fast. I'm sure a lot of alliance captains without canburglars had similar discussions as well.
1711's job on the 1325 alliance was to right containers and burgle cans. And if there was none of that, they'd pull totes 1 by 1 from the landfill

It wasn't a glamorous job, but it was better than 20 doing the same job for sure. Our canburglars were much slower, and much less consistent.
