A LOOK AT THE PLAYOFF NUMBERS
CLASS, Matches, Sweeps%, Fives%, 1st Game winners%; Upsets
AAA 8, .625, .125, .875; .000
AA: 37 .649; .108, .892; .189
A: 45 .600; .156; .800; .111
This shows that the more competitive games occurred in A with only 60% of the games ending in sweeps. It is still critical getting the first win with class AA coming in at almost 90% of the match winners winning game one.
But AA also had the most upsets with 7 teams toppling higher seeds. Section 1 had the most fall with three teams falling of the eight matches, or .375 upset %.
To look at it in another way it was more common in AA for an upset rather than going five.

#1 FALLS
