This surprised me, I would have thought for sure we would see more low goal capable bots given how important capturing is for the playoffs. There were ~100 more high goals than low goals. Sounds like everyone went high if they were bothering with scoring boulders at all, and since most shooters probably can't be adjusted well for scoring in the low goal those that were ineffective just didn't score. Saw a few matches today where an alliance would breach and then not have much else to do until the end game.

Another takeaway from this event is that every event, and especially the playoff matches, will be a war of attrition. #2 alliance got knocked out in the semis with 1296 having motor issues, and 179's only loss was a match where they got tortuga'd by the moat. Everybody broke in Finals match 2. Dr. Joe already had to hand out his first gift card and it isn't even week 1 yet. Think of what's going to happen once teams actually start playing defense.
