It looks like the theory is a little shaky.
A little shaky? This thread needs to DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH. This is the second set of REAL HARD numbers anyone has offered on the subject. Once again, Blue won significantly more matches dduring qualification matches, the only truely random matches. Results of Final matches are not statistically valid because in many regionals, one color was always the higher seeded alliance. Let me reitterate the results from the PNW Regional:

With hard numbers like these, I think its hard to say that red had any advantage this year.
If anything, blue has some sort of advantage. But I doubt even that. I think there is absolutely NOTHING to this theory. Lets move along.
