Backing up these claims with the actual numbers:

Average alliance score (post penalties) in 2010 was 4.17 which averages out to just under 1.4 points earned per team. Hangs were worth 2 points which would have changed the outcome of 29% of the matches that year.

I don't have as detailed information for 2011 (we didn't run the same analysis) but the average points per team in 2011 was 11.3.
