Personally looking forward to the following matches today:
Q-4 (67 vs 548), Q-9 (217+27), Q13( 67+4362), Q26 (217+67), Q43(27+548 vs 4362), Q44 (217 vs 67), Q52 (67+27).

Day one matches played with other top 5
27: 3
67: 4
217:2
548: 1
4362: 1

Timestamped prediction: 67 picks 548 (the usual #1 picks #2) tomorrow and wins the event. The rest is history.

548 does the can burglary and both do 2 stacks consistently and independently.

HOT's auto qualifying score at Livonia is insane. 146/9 = 16.22 avg auto points per match! Anyone know how many times 67 has attempted auto in a Livonia qualifying match? Is any team (anywhere) averaging higher auto qualifying score?

It looks like 2054 has their solo 28 working up in Escanaba, but they've only run it in three qualifying matches and missed a can in one of those.

We've run it every match. Made 7/9 for tote stack plus one tote set because we were touching the stack. I think the other match we ran into a partner? Not completely sure I missed the morning matches for work.

Yes, 67's auto record is impressive, but there are other teams with highly successful auto qualifying scores too. See this post with data from after Week 3 events.

Thanks for the link to Dr. Joe's post. I recall seeing it earlier, but did not know if the stats were for all matches, or just qualifying. Some teams choose not to run their auton in all qualifying matches.

67 picks 548 Check!
#1 picks #2 Check!
Wins the event Check!
548 does the can burglary Check!
Both do 2 stacks consistently Wrong!

Both teams were even more impressive than thought 548, 67, and 4405 put up 5-6 stacks each match. Also the Cans Arm Race has begun!

Congrats to 67, 548, and 4405 for the win and finalists 3641,503, and 5756!

Our third alliance member was 4405. Perfect compliment to our alliance...delivered cans to us both of us perfectly.

Really 548 was the star of the show. The canburglars were amazing, but their stacking saved us multiple times as we struggled through the playoffs.

Thanks to both for joining our alliance.

Thank you to everyone that made this event enjoyable.
