It starts with team #1 (attending that regional) and goes through team X (attending that regional). It is randomized a bit but it has nothing do with the FRC team number until it fills in that the nth team to register was team ABCD for the report they feed to pit admin.

With respect you are way out in left field on this topic.

I may be "in left field" a simple check will either prove a trend or not.

I would like to note that with small sample sizes it is statistically likely to see patterns that aren't actually there.

I know that is just one regional, I am not drawing a conclusive statement just what I noticed in two years of actually analyzing stuff. Just presenting limited data in one regional here.

It did not affect us one bit. Neither did losing 2 RP in San Diego. We were good enough to get what we deserved either way.
