They're important if you are an unknown team
If you are a rookie or otherwise "unknown" team, Q points are important, at least if you are high enough to be a qualifier. A rookie team is at a definite disadvantage in getting "picked" no matter how good they are.
If you have been around a while and people know your capabilities, Q points don't matter. Team 71 did not qualify at the Chicago regional, but they had no trouble being picked, (and their alliance won.)
