Joel, I don't think Ken missed your point, but I DO think you are completely ignoring his ...
I was at most 5 feet from the field for every match played at the NJ regional. And from my vantage point it was clear that most teams didn't figure out how to play this game until Saturday morning, and several never "got it" at all. This is a very complex game from a strategy standpoint and there are MANY valid strategies that can win. There is no question that there is a correlation between winning autonomous and winning the match. But as others have said, that could easily be due to the fact that the autonomous winner is simply the better alliance. Most of the capabilities needed to win auto are the same things that will ensure better performance thru-out the remainder of the match. Through the season as more teams learn "how to play the game" I predict autonomous wins will be LESS correlated to match wins.
