Re: What will separate the good from the great?
There's only one way to score unlimited points: Boulder scoring (High Goal especially). There's where the best teams will be winning. At the highest level of play, you have to assume that you need to outscore your opponents with boulders in order to win, since full breaches and capturing(scaling?) will be happening every match in elims at good events. If you outscore your opponents with autonomous or capturing, then you have to score fewer boulders to win, or vice versa, you need to score even more boulders to win if your opponents have the edge in auto and capturing.

tldr; you MUST score more points in boulders to win at the higher levels of play. This comes from an alliance that is quicker, more consistent, or able to shut out opponents' scoring with defense.
