A combinations of the Midwest regional being week 1 (and loaded, 16, 33, 71, 111, 503, 1114, 1625!!!) and teams learning how to prevent (or at least mitigate) hurdlers after watching week 1 will cause some lower scores. Afterwards, as hurdlers get more experienced, educated, and better, scores will begin to climb again. Week 1, however, will have the most penalties.
Week 1 winning scores will generally range from about 35-65, depending on regional and alliance.

I agree. I wish VCU was still week 1. Week 1 play is MUCH different than later week plays as teams try to figure out how to best play matches.
What interests me is the Hawaii regional.
With ALL of the Hawaii rookie teams pretty much only doing the Hawaii regional during week 5, I think it will be interesting considering they consist of about 70% of the teams and the majority of teams will be in the playoffs.
