I think that's pretty level.
A (very good) rookie team, 2970, was a finalist, but 2039, 1625 and 2194 are not rookies.

Even if a rookie team did win, I don't think that is 'proof' that this year's game leveled the playing field. Rookie teams win regionals every year. What would be intersting to see if someone computed the ages of regional winners this year and compared it to past years. That may be messy, though, as there may be an unequal ratios of rookie teams over the years.
