Well, FYI, I kept track of just about every match when we were queued and watched where the balls were prior to our match. Only twice in three regionals did the ball end up in the same place. I'm talking about just our ball.
The reason we were tracking them was due to the fact that our ball knocker during hybrid could hit it if the ball was in front of us. We always tried then to put the robot in position where the ball wasn't in the previous match.
So rather than having a 1/3 chance, we were hoping for > 1/3 chance to have it in front of us.
I know you cant count on it, but what the heck, it was worth a shot, and it didnt hinder our alliance from doing what they wanted in hybrid.
Now we only tried it if our alliance partners couldnt knock the ball off and/or didnt move in hybrid.

If the randomizer is truly random, the position of the ball is indepedent on eack match, but hey if it adds moral support :d go fo it.
