Our "tried and true" ultrascientifictechnology:

People watch matches and make notes on which teams impress.

Sure, seeds and wins and all that can be used as a starting point, but let's face it: the numbers can mask what is really important.
- Which drivers adapt to changing fortunes and tactics and keep their focus?
- Which robots are productive, whether or not their alliance partners are?
- How many tetras can a team score in a match when their tower isn't working right? (hint: one team (cough56cough) did 4 in one round in Philly with only part of theirs working)

I guess I'm just not that sharp after all - don't know how to build a sorting algorithm to find that info in a table of Regional statistics. Maybe some of your more agile young minds can do it - if so, please feel free to make me feel dumber!
