2004-2007, and it's not really close.

2010 was ungodly bad during the early weeks (even setting aside the ranking shenanigans that were modified after week 1). Yes, most games are bad during regional qualification matches. But we're talking a level of bad where 57% of matches during the DC regional had at least one alliance finish the match with 0 points. Two elimination alliances at Peachtree scored 0 goals combined in the quarterfinals.

All games improve dramatically as the season progresses. Looking at early week video of just about any game is pretty depressing. But Breakaway took this to the extreme. Compared to many FRC games, it already involved scoring fewer game objects per match in general. But when that figure hits 0 as often as it did in Breakaway, it makes for a poor game. It was simply too hard for the lower level teams to corral the soccer ball given the stipulations that game had.
