TL;DR
Average score > Win/Loss
RC bots struggle with Quals, but will kill in Finals.

Which is why 2014 was amazing for alliance play! Top tier teams couldn't take their QPs for granted. They had to get into the pits before matches and really work on their partners to get them up to snuff. Instead of 6 teams doing their independent thing, alliances had to develop new strategies to eek out assists (our playbook was changing well into the post-season!). Matches, even ones featuring big-budget teams, were nail-biting. It was a fun, dynamic game.

I really hope the assist mechanic (or something like it) returns in future.
