Once again the Pareto principle rears its head. Eighty percentage-ish of the tournaments are won by 20%ish of the alliances. More or less, YMMV.
I don't think so. After championship sometime I'll try and collect full data sets for 2005 as well for this, the last year pre-serpentine. I think the #1 seed winners would actually be much much higher than the ~50% we're seeing during the three years of serpentine.
