I'm not convinced that ranking is accurate, but I don't think it matters because it all seems to shake out in the end. Some teams were ranked quite high, even with a machine that just sat on the field and didn't work most of the time, because they had partners that carried the load. The real test, I guess, is who gets picked for the finals by the top 8 teams, and I do think the best teams made it to the top 8. Beyond that, scouting reports and observations of matches reveal the better machines and their strengths.
Counting 'points' scored during the seeding matches is irrelevant.....that's not the measure of a machine, especially in those cases where the alliance partner scored all the points for the match. But I guess everyone knows that already.
