YOU Predict the Average Match Score of 2013's Week 1 Regionals

[Ian Curtis]

I know there is a match score prediction thread, but this is a specific question I've been asking for several years and am interested in keeping it going. Mostly, this thread is so we can look back in seven weeks and realize how terribly wrong we were. Qualifying round is probably the most useful, but elimination scores are interesting to try and peg as well. Since I'm posting this a week later than usual, I wonder if that'll change where the predictions stand relative to the truth.

If you can post a reasoning that's awesome, but we'll take just a number as well.

Here are the last four years:
