Re: Shooting Percentage for week 1

I couldn't think of a percentage as my prediction, but I think that some teams capable of shooting high will opt to not shoot at a week 1 event until elimination matches. At a week 1 event, I think it is certainly possible for a team capable of shooting high to play it safe and consistently score into the low goal to better guarantee tower weakening which leads to a capture for ranking points.

The teams with the most practice and the best vision systems would probably shoot high consistently in qualifications if they choose to not save it for eliminations. Those teams would be the outliers for shooting percentage if we were to consider an average for all teams attempting a high goal.

It may even be possible that there will be enough defense in eliminations to lower the shooting average of teams that did a 75%+ success rate in qualifications.
