In 2006 if you could make most of your starting 10 balls in every match (or score well in autonomous), you were a first round pick.

I'd say it depends on your goal. If you're trying to be an alliance captain, trying to be an alliance captain at the Championship, or trying to WIN the Championship, those numbers need some adjustin'.

IMHO, It's the majority of teams that shoot to "WIN the Championship" that need to realize 2 hurdles would be fantastic. 2 consistent hurdles was probably within striking distance of a good alliance at most events in 2008 (and at the others, with a bit discretion would make you a *great* second round steal). For some of us, winning a regional is a prereq for making it to ATL.
