Placebo Effect
I haven't checked out all the teams but I noticed that both team 71 and team 573 had 3 great matches (on Arch and Curie respectively) but they only show 2 matches on the Ranking screen. I thought perhaps each had been DQ or some thing but then it hit me, they are probably one of the placebo teams in their divisions.

Sure enough they each have 11 matches so... ...that must be it.

Without knowing penalties it is impossible to compute their seeding points, but I figure the Beatty Beast would be in 5th place (rather than 27th) and the Mech Warriors would be in 1st place (rather than 22nd).

Interesting horse races...
