Here are some crude statistics through Week 3.

Perhaps someone could get the columns to line up properly (sorry).

Data comes from FIRST. Please let me know if I got something wrong.

Win Q = Median score of the winning alliance in qualifying matches
Lose Q = Median score of the losing alliance in qualifying matches
Max Q = Maximum alliance score in qualifying matches
Win E = Median score of the winning team in elimination matches
Lose E = Median score of the losing alliance in elimination matches
Max E = Max alliance score in an elimination match

Overall x 48 23 124 73 47 146

The highest overall match score was Finals Match 2 at Detroit:
217/469/440 = 124
27/47/453 = 106

The "average" team number at all events is 1271
The "average" team number in the eliminations is 1149
The "average" team number of winning alliances (week 3 only) is 1033

There is no significant weekly trend toward higher scores through week 3.
Experience helps, but a lot of fairly new teams are having success.
