Another factor that I noticed contributing to this was that fact that a 3rd alliance partner can coast to victory on their partners' abilities. This happened at GLR on Friday; one robot got out on the field for only 1 or 2 of their 6 matches. But because their human player was there, they got credit for their alliance's accomplishments. At the end of the day they were ranked just below the top 10.
I'm going to use this as an example at Detroit when I'm lead queuer, to emphasize the importance of getting at least your human player to the field.
