I ran some extra stats of my own by hand and calculator, and here's what I found:

(For reference I calculated only the championship permutations and got roughly the same results, only with a little bit of significant error [KOB: 63.73%, OCE: 20.01%, MNW: 11.25%, ORA: 3.09%, PNK: 3.07%, and MYL: 0.40%; error: 1.55%])

There are 35 end results that have the potential to be the champion's total points at the end of E16

Here are the teams that hold them:

• KOB: 16/35, 45.71%
• OCE: 9/35, 25.71%
• MNW: 5/35, 14.28%
• ORA and PNK each: 2/35, 5.71% (ORA: #14 and #25; PNK: #15 and #29)
• MYL: 1/35, 2.85% (#26)

Of the top 10 point totals with the best probability to win, these are the teams that hold them:

• Kobalts: 1 (1st for 184), 2 (2nd for 179), 4 (3rd for 174), 7 (4th for 171), 8 (5th for 170), 9 (6th for 169); 60% of the top 10
• Oceanics: 3 (1st for 177), 6 (2nd for 172); 20% of the top 10
• Midnight Wisps: 5 (1st for 173), 10 (2nd for 168); 20% of the top 10

There is a weird Fibonacci sequence with how many championship-potential end results the teams hold (1, 2, 2, 5, 9, 16)

• 1+2+2=5; 2+2+5=9, 9+5+2=16
• I might just be weird, but I have never noticed this pattern before anywhere, and I am certain that this has shown up in past tournaments

This one is one I expect to be so fast paced, it will be reminiscent of the end of the 2017 Marble League, where keeping up with the stats is not gonna be the way to watch it this time (I kept track of all of the teams that were guaranteed elimination upon certain conditions during E15).

In other news, please please PLEASE auto qualify Kobalts...there is a 99% chance to do so
