I vote for a very much lower average score than most of
the other postings.

I suppose that teams will only get the "double double"
about 1/3 of the times. This immedately cuts the
scores in 2/3 of the matches to something under 300 or
so max and that only if they get a "single double" plus
end the match early. The rewards are such that it
almost always make sense to keep playing if you think
you can get one more double before time runs out.

SO... I expect that even though teams see that they
only get the double double about 1/3 of the time, they
will still spend a lot of time TRYING to get the double
double, but failing.

Bottom line:

Average score and median score between 50 and 100
points. Closer to 50 at the early regionals, close to
100 nearer to and at the Nationals.

Counter analysis welcome.

Joe J.
