You Guess: Event with 'Most Competitive' Elimination Matches

[IKE]

Looks like a very exciting Playoff!

Welcome to the power of the districts. Technically it is the power of the 2nd play (IE having a redo) which means that almost every team can now play the game to some effect. This year especially, some of the very good first outings turn into great during their second outings. Some mediocre performances first round are turning into really good.

I was at St. joe this past weekend, and it was a bit of a sleeper for how good it was. At St. Joe, the lowest QA (40th place) was around 53. This was the QA for the #13 ranked team at Howell (week 1), and would have been #2 at both Southfield and Standish!
This obviously does not mean the 40th place team could hang with the #2 teams at those events, but it does speak to the overall scoring quality of the event.
