I'm 99% sure you don't need a 10 point shooter to seed high (and I'm not talking about lucky schedules). I know it's a very different game, but in '08 148 seeded 1st and 2nd without hurdling one ball. I'd argue this game is better set up for non-scoring bots than that game.

Now, what gives you the best chance at seeding high depends on your individual team.
