Qualification Seeding

[MrRiedemanJACC]

1st Order Sort is qualification Score
2nd Order Sort is Cumulative Sum of ASSIST points

That makes assists even more of a priority. Maybe not for the top teams, but those in 4-10th usually are bunched close together on qualification score.

We were thinking the same thing.
FIRST really wants teams to work together this year...

Keep in mind that Autonomous score is the 3rd order of seeding, in the event that the assists are lacking, or simply equally frequent among most teams.

The official quote from the manual, for reference.


1st order sort Qualification Score
2nd order sort Cumulative Sum of ASSIST points
3rd order sort Cumulative Sum of AUTO points
4th order sort Cumulative sum of TRUSS and CATCH points
5th order sort Cumulative sum of TELEOP GOAL points and FOUL points
6th order sort Random sorting by the FMS

I have a quick question regarding the sorting points.
The QP are given per alliance, meaning if you team is in a winning alliance you get 2 QP etc.
What about ASSIST points? If in the red alliance robot 1 does assist in blue, robot 2 does assist in red and scores, who gets ASSIST points?
The ASSIST points for this move are 10 (+10 GOAL points), do only team 1 and 2 get the points? Does robot 3 gets it too?

Same question for TRUSS, CATCH, GOAL... I'm assuming the same answer.

The assist points are tracked on a per-alliance basis, so the alliance's total assist points are given to each team on the alliance.
