This isn't any easier than the top 5 teams from your state...
Code:
Regular IRI/CC Rule Changes
NorCal 254, 1678, 971 254, 1678, 1671
SoCal 3476, 973, 1717/3309 3476, 973, 1717/3309
All 254, 1678, 973 254, 1678, 1671/3476
Notes:
1. I'm assuming 254 could do LF only if they wanted (as far as I know, they never have, but I'm also pretty sure 1678/971/1671/3476 do HP only).
2. I still cannot figure out if 973 counts as northern or southern CA--they're basically right between San Jose and LA.
3. For 3476+973+1717/3309, I'm assuming 973 does HP, but for 254+1678+973 I'm assuming they do LF.
4. To create the alliances, I prioritized getting one LF bot / two HP, two 2C autos, and then stacking ability. For IRI/CC changes, I changed it to one 2C auto and put stacking ability higher.
5. This was the data I used to decide on the alliances. I'm not sure how accurate it is for the teams I haven't seen in person (especially those in southern CA).
Code:
Team Stacks Number Height Auto Notes

1671 HP 3 6T+C+N
971 HP 2-3 6T+C+N 2C
2085 HP 2 6T+C
701 HP 2 6T+C
3476 HP 3 6T+C+N
973 LF/HP 2-3 6T+C/+N 2C Either LF or HP, 6T+C for LF, 6T+C+N for HP
1717 LF 2-3 6T+C 3T
3309 LF 2-3 6T+C 3T
330 HP 2-3 6T+C
