I thought the same thing; that the inverted and step totes would matter on Einstein. When the two alliances split the cans 5 and 5, then making 7 stacks of 6 isn't enough if the alliance on the other side of the step can make 9.

I thought that the "top 8" threshold for a typical regional would be a bit lower (regularly scoring about 50 tote+RC points), but that the alliances heading to Einstein would be stronger, needing to score inverted and/or step totes to beat the others on Einstein.
