Re: Offense/Defense rankings for 1043 teams

Looks like the Atlanta bound list is missing some teams...121 is going to Atlanta but is not on any of those lists.

It seems to me that one way to use stats like these to measure how teams really perform would be to look at margin of victory in the elimination rounds, where there are good teams on both sides and you are trying to maximize your own score/minimize your opponents. (unlike in qualifying where opponents score ties in to your ranking, giving incentive to not play shutdown defense)

You would have to look at whole alliance performance rather than individual teams, and then rely on your own scouting knowlege to know which teams in an alliance are offensive and which are defensive.

If you are bored, maybe you could run this again, but rank each alliance that competed in elims by their margin of victory (or loss).

I think that would be a useful scouting tool when combined with reports on how each team in an alliance plays the game.
