I haven't looked at other districts, but I noticed a discrepancy for PNW when comparing to TBA rankings . Three teams have 10 points less on the official FRC site than on TBA. All 3 were part of Auburn Mountainview Alliance 2 (2046, 2522, 5937). Each were given only 10 playoff points on the official FRC site despite finishing as Finalists. Per 7.4.1.3, they each should have been granted 20 points (10 for exiting QF, 10 for exiting SF) so long as they all participated in the QF and SF playoff matches.

Am I missing something? It seems to me TBA has it correct in this case.

I do believe they should have 20 playoff points as well.

My guess (based off no real evidence whatsoever) is that FIRST isn't implementing playoff tiebreakers correctly, thus their code naively assume 2046, 2522, and 5937 didn't win their QF series (since they only have one "win" based on the final score) and doesn't assign points to them. This is just a hypothesis though.
