Indeed. Albany and Dalton both had some talent, but a lot ended up split between two events. Additionally, with only 25 and 28 teams at each event, it was more difficult to have a "deep" field. I haven't looked at concrete metrics of OPRs or other such things, but with the combination of it being the second event for many people and having the largest collection of teams since week 2 astroturf, I feel like (and hope) we'll see some more high scoring results.

Lastly, with the large gap between events, many teams will have had good opportunities to iterate (something I imagine was much more difficult for teams who were in their second event week 3.)
