3rd Regional Question

[faust1706]

In 2011 at the stl regional, there were under 30 teams. It was a very fun regional and everyone got to know each other very well, but there wasnt much diversity. Nearly every team was within a 2 hour radius. Something that is interesting at small regionals is that nearly every team is on an alliance for eliminations. This is good for rookie teams because they get an extra feel for FIRST, but also not the best because there will be a lack of competition.

Just look at the scores:
95-6
112-24
107-55
50-4

but I guess there are a decent amount of examples where an alliance has no competition...case in point: finals of galileo of 2011: 101 - 0.
