Probably something like 2010-2013, but I think it depends on the team. I would want a more recent year due to number of teams ad an overall better experience. Outreach is highly team-dependent, so in terms of competitiveness I would say 2013 or 2015 senior year is good for a high resource team, and 2014 for a lower resource team. The reason being that 2013/2015 had a number of elements, and for high-performing teams the chances of winning were higher due to the skill gap. 2014 was much simpler from a design/strategy perspective in that it was possible to be a 1st or 2nd pick by an alliance captain and win using their strategy. Plus. intake + shooter was as far as the design went (plus sweetspot, strategy stuff, etc. but for inbounders and trussers drive practice for defense was more important IMO).
I've only witnessed a few games, so I can't call it for sure.
