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

[Fastnate]

Average Qual score: 20

Average Elim score: 50

20 will be enough to win all but a few qualifying matches - I don't see most alliances accomplishing much more than a couple scored frisbees and one Level 1 hang, with penalties canceling a lot of that out. Elims might be slightly better, but I don't see many scores above 50 and I would be surprised if there are any above 75.

Quals: 28
Elims: 52

High score: 74

Are we normally this far off?

Look at the links in the OP. The answer is (I think) so.

We usually overestimate. I'd say that this year our net 'offness' is considerably worse than usual.

Did someone post averages already that I missed?

Yes, but usually in the opposite direction.

This year, everyone seemed to think that week 1 teams were going to suck despite the ridiculous amount of points possible.

Mathematically speaking, these numbers must be wrong (at least one of them). There is an equal number of winning scores and losing scores, so the average elims score should be equal to the average of the winning alliance scores and losing alliance scores. I get 85.1 when I do this calculation, which contradicts the 93.7, indicating one of the 3 numbers must be incorrect. For the rest of the numbers presented, this result is almost observed (within a point).

I don't know what I did, but whatever it was was wrong. Corrected.

In general I think everyone assumed shooting discs would be harder and that fewer week one regional robots would be fully functional. The averages for week one are closer to what I thought week 3 would be.

I think we all underestimated just how consistent these game pieces are in comparison to all other years in recent memory (barring 2008, and maybe 2010 perhaps)
