Midwest = Offense?

Looking at the standings after a Week 3 Friday of competitions, I noticed that the Ranking Points at the 3 Midwest regionals (Detroit, Midwest and Boilermaker) are very high. The combined average Ranking Points for the 3 regionals is 25.71 pts. Boilermaker has the highest average Ranking pts with 26.95, followed by Midwest (26.77), and Detroit (23.67). All 3 of these regionals are relatively small (Detroit-33 teams, Midwest-30, & Boilermaker-29).

This brings up a few questions:
Do these Midwest teams...............
concentrate more on offense than defense?
have a higher percentage of shooters?
shoot better?
dump more?
have better strategy?
have better Autonomous Routines?
play Autonomous Defense?
get more bots on the ramp?
score more for their opponents?
make more evenly-matched random alliance pairings?
