Speaking for Chesapeake:

As one poster on line mentioned "However, in this case, I think it's pretty fair to say you've simply found the tails of the curve. Someone's got to have the highest and lowest scores, after all." I'm even more surprised that Boston, San Diego and Florida had exactly 50/50 splits. (And Boston is where our field was before us!)

Look at the data this way as well. For the 31 regional's where there was a difference 13 of them the difference went to red. Exactly what one would expect from a normal distribution.

Note: that the eventual winning alliance in eliminations played quarters
and semis on blue and was 4-0 on blue.

One of the FTA's present and the Field Supervisor have both e-mailed me to indicated that they felt there was NOT a universal problem on Blue 2. One of our official scorekeepers was keeping independent notes and link failures were pretty evenly distributed over the 6 positions.

To really point to a single station you would need to have the points scored by robots by match to see if there is an anomaly. Take it from me (and my major was Mathematics), what we have here is too little data being stretched to far. Plus using the data published does not account for results changed due to penalty's, and we had at least two that I recall.

Not to belabor the point, but I don't see a statistical discrepancy. And certainly not one that points to a single driver station. Not with this data.
