look at Bongles scatter diagram. there is no correlation between how teams have done from one year to the next

you can flip a coin and have it come up heads 5 times in a row, and its still random.

I give up on this thread. No one can get past the issue of fairness, and very little has been accomplished in the direction of making FIRST better by making it more fair

and I have been told more than once now "If you dont like the way FIRST is structured, then leave it alone and go somewhere else".
