Re: Toughest Regional Metrics...
I don't think you can use metrics from Championships to determine the toughest regionals, because the game and robots change throughout the season.
One could argue that the regionals held the first weekend are the toughest. This isn't baseball or football which is constant from year to year, this game is "newly invented" each year. The teams competing during the first weekend have no previous games to watch for strategy or how opponents may try to disrupt your robot. They have to adjust on the spot to unforeseen challenges, while the rest of us get to watch a broadcast/webcast and learn from their efforts.
Likewise, teams get to view what is important in the playoffs. How many times did you see aggressive defense in the regionals. A number of teams saw penalties because of this aggressiveness. On Einstein, how many robots played aggressive defense for their alliance?
The game starts, we learn, the game changes, we learn some more, the game changes again, we learn even more . . .
