And remember, there are two more drafts during the competition season.

MI State Championship: Draft is held a day or two before the event.

FRC Championship: During the break between regionals and the Championship.

I wouldn't let those slide, as there are some really good points to be had in the MI State event.

I'll be sending out PM polls to find out how many picks people thing we should have for the championships(I'm not doing 10 rounds).

I've got an idea, but I'll respond later via PM.

You want me to go ahead and plan on doing MI the Wednesday of that week, like happened last year?

I won't have to travel as far this year but I could use a break, so yeah you can take it this time.

what do you mean by 10 rounds? wouldnt we just do the same things for these championships as we do normal regionals?

There's 300+ teams to be divided amongst 22 league members.
There's more than enough teams for more rounds.

well what id think in that situation what we should do would be just do rounds for each division and just make the leagues like 11 people deep so then that would make just 8 divisions for Nationals

Nah, this is the one draft where everyone competes against everyone. There's also a slightly different point structure, which happens to include the Einstein matches. So it kind of isn't fair to some folks to go by division.

And if we did go by divisions, we'd just do the full round. All of us together is 66 teams in a 3-round draft, and there are 70-80 in a division. There are 300+ teams in the event, so we can do quite a few. Last year, we did 4 rounds, and there were good teams left over.

dodar
06-01-2010, 21:18
I was just thinking if we did it by each person getting 3 robots from each division, everyone would get a look at every division, more points to be had, and everyone would get more picks

Vikesrock

I think doing a league for each division for Champs is an interesting idea. By selecting more teams I think it adds a bit more skill in trying to pull some diamonds in the rough. Also, the increase in the number of possible Champs points will likely keep more players in contention for the overall championship up through Champs.


If the issue is running 4 separate drafts I will gladly run 1 or even 2 of them at the same time. If the issue is people not wanting to make lists/picks for 4 separate drafts then I have no problem with the way we did it last year.

Barry Bonzack

there are PLENTY of good teams in Atlanta. I usually have no problem picking a 4th robot.

I totally agree. I'm down for more rounds - it's such a deep field that my list would have enough teams to go multiple rounds for once!

EricH
07-01-2010, 00:49
Here's how it's been done in the past:

2 years ago: 3 rounds due to running out of time. We were, shall we say, much less organized that year.
Last year: 4 rounds over a few days. Still some good teams left.

This year, if we could do two rounds per day, we could probably get 5-6 rounds in, and still have some decent teams left over.

Let's do the math: 22 players, 320 teams as a decent estimate. That's enough to do 14 rounds at the outside and still have a few teams left. That's also a lot of time to take, so let's not have that many. I'd be just fine with 5-6 rounds spread over 2-3 days.

Koko Ed

I admit I am quite fascinated with the concept of doing four drafts for each divisions. I must point out the winner of the Elgin Clock would have HUGE ADVANTAGE getting a first shot at apparently the best team available in each division. The drafts would have to be done on the weekend of April 10th and 11th with dual drafts each night. I will be traveling by car towards Atlanta but I should be available to run a draft.
So you guys down with this idea?

EricH
07-01-2010, 16:04
I'll probably be available to run drafts then.

Side note: if everyone has a list in, the drafts run MUCH faster. Also note that exact format--1-tier or 2-tier would have to be chosen.

Also, FYI, the Championship scoring modifications are typically as follows:

5......Quarter finalists - Division
10....Semifinalists - Division
15....Finalists - Division
25....Divisional Winners

40.....Finalists - Einstein Field
50.....Winners - Einstein Field

80.....Chairmans - Nationals
45.....Engineering Inspiration Award - Nationals
25.....Rookie All-Star
20.....Rookie Inspiration
15......Woodie Flowers/Judges

10.......Highest score / Highest Rookie Seed
25 points for a robot based award
10.......for every non-placement award, except previously mentioned


These might need tweaking to account for a different system, or might not.

Don't fix it if it aint broken.
We will have to be on top of our game and be ready to have the final standings a few days after the end of week 5 so we can have both the final standings and team rankings ready for the championships.

If this year goes anything like last year, scores will be out right after the end of Week 5. The teams list should be going out as soon as the last drafts are finished.

He showed.

but he ditched tonight's draft while online.
My mind is made up. He aint coming back next year.
I'm tired of his act. And there's a few other members who are making my naughty list as well.
You guys better straighten up!

Barry Bonzack
08-01-2010, 21:34
man it feels good to be done with drafting until next November. I'm sure Ed, Eric, Kevin, and Alex would agree. Thanks all for running the drafts! Best of luck.

I'm curious, how many other players had perfect attendance in the drafts? I know I sent in picks for all drafts, I'm going to say roughly 4 drafts I either rushed my list, or made lists with incomplete information.

Also, make your prediction on the outcome of the season, here's mine

1. Alex
2. Kevin
3. Barry
4. Bethany
5. Sunger

I missed Hawaii. I even had a list made well in advance, I just didn't send it in for some reason :o

From watching the drafts I would guess there are very few players that showed up for every draft.

Your predicted order of finish seems pretty good. There are definitely a couple other players that have some decent picks and may end up in the top 5 or even the Elgin Clock.

Also, there's still MI State Champs and Champs left to draft so we're not done quite yet.

Kellen Hill
08-01-2010, 23:20
I only missed one draft. There were a few other ones where I didn't send in lists because I wasn't familiar with the teams and just really didn't care who I ended up with. Last year I actually went through and found who had won awards/the most awards to decide who I drafted, but this year my lists consisted of teams I knew would do well and let luck and the randomizer determine the rest for me. We'll see how this strategy pans out for me down the line.

EricH
09-01-2010, 00:33
I had at least a list in for every draft. Sorry, no predictions from me, but I do have the full list ready to go. It is located at http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2317

All players would be well-advised to check their teams for all the drafts to make sure there are no issues with the sheet.

My best laid plans were to make a list for every draft based on past history and research, but time and other commitments got to me over break. I was in about 3/4s of drafts, the rest because I didn't know any teams, business, or carelessness. I'll do better next year!

EricH
10-01-2010, 01:07
I decided to have some fun with a few statistics over the history of Season Long. Specifically, the drop/boot rate.

2008: 65 participants, no boots, one or two drops (and a late add). Active participants: maybe about 20-30. Hence the miss 5 and out rules.

2009: 42 participants, 2 withdrawals, 12 boots. 33% of the league didn't finish. Of the 12 boots, fully 75% disappeared after the first 5 drafts.

2010: 31 participants, 3 withdrawals, 6 boots. 29% non-finishers. Of the boots, 67% or 2/3 were gone after the first 5 drafts.

So, we've been losing fewer people, but playing with fewer.

Of particular note is that it looks like the vast majority of boots happen after the first 5 drafts. Withdrawals (voluntary boots) typically happen after 1-2 drafts.

Just some food for thought.

Usually it's people who have never played before and are the kind of people who don't read the manual and thus don't read my first post saying if you're not going to participate don't join and they hit reply and are never heard from again. I could care less if I have only ten dedicated players over a hundred who show up every once in a while. I want people who want to participate because they enjoy playing the game and getting some sort of challange from playing it not people who are either looking for something to pass the time like some Facebook app that they can play with every once in a while or something to fit in with the veterans.

The new seeding system certainly turns things upside down not only for FRC but for us as well since they are not using W-L-T anymore (this better be a one year thing). Should we go by whatever points the team accumulates during the regional and add that to their score?

we could do that, or just give more points based on what seed the team ends up. The final result is that both points are tracking the same thing.

I think you mixed up my teams for the person above me in Florida. I should have 118, 1523 and 2757.



I made all my lists before the first draft. I only ranked teams by my memory of them, so I'm sure they are not perfect and I probably missed some good teams. I think I missed two drafts because I just missed making the list for those regionals. Twice my lists were not used, resulting in me not getting 71 or any teams from Midwest, for which I had a very deep list for. Anyway, it should be exciting to see how it turns out.

EricH
11-01-2010, 23:34
I've updated the sheet to reflect the stuff I've been informed about as well as the rerun of Northstar 1.

As for the new seeding, it should be possible, though more difficult, to get W-L-T scores. After all, you have to win or tie to get the Coopertition bonus, and in the eliminations you have to win. It shouldn't be too hard (hypothetically) to go through and get W-L-T from the FIRST website or TBA.

I think, though, that if we do go the points scored route, it should be the average, rounded down (or up) to the nearest whole number.

EricH
04-02-2010, 14:55
There have been a bunch of issues and trades cropping up, so I've put out an updated team list. Same place: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2317

If you have a team that is in bold, there is an issue--either they aren't attending, or somebody got them first. If there is a missing/double-picked team when an event is scored, whoever has that team gets the first random team available. If you're lucky, they get a decent score. If you aren't, they got a negative score.

RMiller
04-02-2010, 15:15
A word of advice for those looking at this, it might help to change the font. Times New Roman worked well for me. At least for me, it is hard to catch bold with Calibri font. Thanks for going through this all Eric.

EricH
06-02-2010, 03:50
I've changed the font; it'll be reflected in the next update, which should be right after ship.

Meanwhile, I've been going through Week 1 events looking for missing teams, and there are a lot. (Note: in most cases, not checked against actual picks. If you have a different team that has already replaced the missing one, remind me about it.)

So, here's the list I have so far. If you're on it, it is your job to fix the teams listed by the Week 1 trade deadline. Once that deadline passes, I get the "fun" of going through the random list and figuring out what team you get instead, if you don't do it for me.

Format: Player; Event1, Team1; Event2, Team2; ... EventX, TeamX

Sunbun; D.C., 2885; Peachtree, 538
jmanela; Bayou, 2983
Akash; Peachtree, 3254; New Jersey, 371
hill; San Diego, 125; Bayou, 2983
Chris is me; San Diego, 3178; Peachtree, 3254
Alex Cormier; Kettering, 453; Peachtree, 281
rocketperson44; New Jersey, 371
Barry Bonzack; D.C., 2884; Bayou, 1985
jblay; Traverse City, 2054; Bayou, 2936
bobwrit; San Diego, 125
XaulZan11; Bayou, 1985
Dargel1625; San Diego, 125
TheLoneAsian; Granite State, 1958
Bethany Mc.; Bayou, 2292
Jamie Kalb; Peachtree, 538 & 3139

I will be updating this list over time, as I go through more events.

EricH
06-02-2010, 23:01
All right, so I finished going through the list of teams and comparing it with FIRST's lists, and I've posted the results at the usual place. If one or more of your teams are in bold, you need to change them. If they're also in italics, it's a double-pick.

And yes, we do have one player who lost an entire alliance. Happens every year...

06-02-2010, 23:13

EricH
06-02-2010, 23:40
Got it. It'll show up in the version I post with the pre-Week 1 updates.

By the way, remember that the drafts lock the day before they begin, at midnight. In other words, you have until the midnight right before an event to change any picks in that draft.

EricH
23-02-2010, 04:04
All right, with build season winding down to its final few hours, I figure that this is a good time to remind everyone that the sheet with all the teams that you have is at http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2317. You have until midnight, Wednesday, 3/1, to change your picks in Week 1. A fair number of teams have dropped out of events (125 in San Diego, for example), or I may have simply missed a change. Hey, maybe I entered the team wrong, and the number has transposed digits or something like that. They'll count as not there unless I know about the mistake...

Any teams that are still in bold (not there) on the sheet when the drafts are locked get replaced with random teams.

Also, a couple of general scoring-type questions:
1) Did we ever decide what to do with W-L-T record? It shouldn't be too hard to track, assuming that FIRST has to track it anyway to decide the Coopertition bonus in a given round. Options are Keep, Remove, or Change the point values.
2) What kind of point value do we want to give the Coopertition Award? I personally think it should be worth more than the 2 points it would be worth under the current system; maybe 10 points?

We should reward 2 points for the co-opertition bonus and 0 points for the loss.
Also the co-opertition award is fine at 10 points for winning it.

Are we adding point values for the randomly announced Dean's List award?

EricH
26-02-2010, 21:55
I was thinking about that, too...

Why not, say somewhere in the range of 4-6 points/student winner? (Considering that it may be possible to have 2 winners from the same team...)

Reasoning: It's the student version of the WFFA (8 points), but there are 2 winners per event this year, so cut the value a bit to reflect that.

Vikesrock
26-02-2010, 22:18
4 sounds good. Make it half of WFFA as there are two winners.

Robot-based award (Delphi, Xerox, GM, Rockwell), 15 points
Dean’s List, 4 points (new)

Any award not previously mentioned, 2 points

27-02-2010, 20:48
The following players still have missing teams in Week 1. Remember, the deadline to switch them out is Wednesday at midnight if you don't want a random team!

jmanela: Bayou, 2983
Akash: Peachtree, 3254
rocketperson44: New Jersey, 371
Barry B.: Washington D.C., 2884; Bayou, 1985
jblay: Traverse City, 2054; Bayou, 2936
bobwrit: San Diego, 125
TheLoneAsian: Granite State, 1958 (apparently a mistype when the team was assigned--1058 instead of 1958)
Bethany Mc.: Bayou, 2292; New Jersey, 422

(And just because you don't have a missing team in Week 1 doesn't mean you don't have one in a later week...)

Week 1 drafts are locked at this point in time. Random teams are being issued.

Week 2 has a lot of holes, especially in WPI and Chesapeake. A full listing will some when I have some time. Meanwhile, check your picks on the list and see if you have any issues. Week 2 locks at this time next Wednesday...

After combing through the sheet for Week 2, I find that the following events have missing teams selected:

Cass Tech: dodar, 3095; jblay, 3095
Ann Arbor: XaulZan11, 1015
Arizona: Koko Ed, 597; Alex Cormier, 2254; bobwrit, 580; XaulZan11, 580
Florida: jmanela, 1341; Barry Bonzack, 3025
WPI: Alex Cormier, 353; sunger92, 177; RMiller, 2626; TheLoneAsian, 177; Bethany Mc., 353
Chesapeake: Chris is me, 379; Alex Cormier, 3340; Barry Bonzack, 339; XaulZan11, 339; TheLoneAsian, entire alliance
New York City: Barry Bonzack, 3304
Israel: Sunbun, 3420; RMiller, 2231 double-pick

Yes, we do have someone who had his entire alliance drop out of an event. Not good. Chesapeake and WPI are the hardest hit.

So the easiest way to find winners and losers is by using the final match score. This is what TBA does and I was hoping to just take the win/loss data from there.

The problem with this is DQs. DQs are not directly reported by FIRST so they will still show up as a win using this method. Do we want to do anything about this? Can we?

Unless someone does top notch searching on the subject I don't think there's anything we can do.

I'm currently working on getting team scores done for this week's events. I've got 9 done so far, 2 more to go.

Here are the issues I've run into so far:

GA standings are missing.
SD is missing team for WFFA and Dean's List
KC is missing team for WFFA
NJ will wait 'till tomorrow.
ROC is missing team for WFFA and Dean's List
OR is missing team for WFFA

High score is a pain to determine as it is no longer listed as part of the standings.

I just posted a paper in CD-Media with the scores done for all events except Peachtree (missing standings) and New Jersey (not done yet) with the WFFA and Dean's List exceptions above (they are highlighted in red in the sheet).

This should allow people to have fun calculating their own scores and guessing where they will shake out.

I'm at 1043 so far this week I believe.

I want to change the win / loss point system now that we've got the serious possibility of teams playing 6v0 matches.

Can the alliance with the most seeding points get the "win"? Tie is still 1 point? Or should I not pick colluders?

I'm trying to think of "creative" ways to preserve the current amount of points for "winners". Right now, 10 matches will get you a #1 seed with around 110 SP. Perhaps divide the SP by 11, multiply result by 2 to assign points? Or some similar algorithm for seed...

I think the reason you were way off last week was that I didn't run the numbers for the regionals that we're missing data in. That results in everyone's score being lower.

When I get time, I'll try to run down some of that data (SD Dean's List teams; Peachtree standings), unless someone beats me to it.

I have been counting High Score as quals only, that is the way it was done last year as well as it was taken directly off the standings last year.

At Chesapeake I accidentally marked both 1626 and 1748 as quarterfinalists.

At Wisconsin, I didn't credit 1018 as 13th seed.

At Cass Tech, 2851 was not credited as a semifinalist.

I apologize for the large number of errors this week, I implemented the totals row last week to help me check for things like this, but neglected to actually use it for many of the events as I scored them this week.

Utah: dodar has a missing 2nd pick, the result of a double-pick.

Initial scoring sheet for this week is up.

Here's what's missing right now:

Boilermaker Day 2 awards
St. Louis WFFA and Dean's List teams
Dallas WFFA Team 1108
Utah WFFA

In Detroit I assumed that the Excellence in Design listed for 67 was supposed to be the Industrial Design. The MI Districts don't give out the Excellence in Design and Industrial Design is blank.

Also, it looks like some teams didn't show up for Detroit that were on the team list.

CO standings are in the regional thread (unofficial, but close enough), along with some of the selections and results. Not nearly enough to do much with, for now.

10K Lakes: 3197 (XaulZan11) is missing.
Las Vegas: 1251 (dodar) is missing.

MI State Championship draft: Wednesday, 7:00PM Eastern. Team list is on the FIRST site and still being filled. If it's full tomorrow night, I'll get the random list out then. (Last I checked, 49/64 slots were full.)

Scoring status: I've gotten Dean's List info for Palmetto and Waterloo; still waiting on Buckeye and Oklahoma City Dean's List and WFFA. I've also got a request in for that in St. Louis. Will post the sheet when I've got another couple events or so.

Palmetto Dean's List: 2430, 281

Special Note: Sacramento starts earlier than the other events, so it'll lock tomorrow night at midnight. All other events will lock at the normal time.

I think there are only supposed to be 49 teams for the Michigan State championships this time around (much more reasonable in my opinion. There wasn't enough room in that building for 64 teams).

Yep. All we've got is a partial eliminations list, the standings, and the Day 1 awards. (See the Colorado Regional thread.)

Ed, I looked up the number that was supposed to be there according to FiM. It's 64 in their documentation. Unless they're largely operating under last year's, I'll expect 64 teams to be there--49 barely covers winners at the district events. (As in, 42 win-your-way and 7 points qualifiers, if there are no repeats.)

Edit: I just looked, and MSC is up to 59 teams. 5 more, and the tiers and random list get released.

All right, folks, here's the lowdown for the rest of the week:

Sacramento locks in half an hour. (Matches start tomorrow.)

Michigan State Championship drafts tomorrow night at 7 PM Eastern. I'll be running it, so get your lists in when you get the time. I'll get the tiers and stuff like that out tomorrow morning sometime. (Currently, only 61/64 teams are signed up.)

All other lists (including Michigan) lock tomorrow night at midnight Eastern. The remaining issues are:

Connecticut: 53 (dodar) is missing.
Toronto: 3190 (Dargel1625) is missing.
10K Lakes: 3197 (XaulZan11) is missing.
Las Vegas: 1251 (dodar) is missing.

Scoring is still waiting on Dean's List and/or WFFA teams from Buckeye, Oklahoma, and St. Louis, and the eliminations/Day 2 match scores from Colorado. If you know someone who was at those events, please see if they remember those kinds of things--we'd like to make sure that all the teams get the points they deserve. (And, for those of you at events this weekend, please note down that info just in case FIRST doesn't.)

Clang. Click.

That was the Week 5 drafts locking. So, we're home free, right?

Wrong. Once the events are done and the last WFFA/Dean's List winner is tracked down, we'll post up the scores and standings. Then it's time for the big one: The Championship. Date/Time: TBD. Stay tuned

Now, I've got a question on format, and some other folks here do too. Are we going to do:

One big 4-round draft, all teams up for grabs, or
4 divisional drafts, going to 4 rounds (we can do it, provided that there isn't a sub-88-team division).This obviously has implications on time set aside and how the random teams list is done.

Consensus: 4 divisional drafts, 3-4 rounds apiece.

Next question: How many days do we want this to take? We can do 2/day for 2 days, all of them on the same day, or spread them out at 1/day for 4 days, or some other combination. Anybody want to comment on a preferred method?

If the divisions are up I say do a draft on Friday. Two on Saturday and one on Sunday next week and get them over with. Divisions are nothing more than large regionals anyways. It's no big deal.
All we need to do before then is establish the final rankings for the Elgin Clock award and draft order and also rank the teams going to Atlanta before the drafts.

(St. Louis, 931 has 1 Dean's List; Buckeye, 1014 has 1 Dean's List; CT, 230 has 1 Dean's List).

Remember, your position in this list determines your position in the Championship draft in all four divisions, so we really want to get it right. You can see for yourselves how close some of the players are.

Also, I found the lowest-scoring team of the year. One of the teams in Vegas scored zero points. Two people had them...

All right, so here's the deal.

I have yet to score St. Louis (1 Dean's List and the WFFA missing), Buckeye (1 Dean's list missing), and Connecticut (1 Dean's List missing). If you've got any answers for those, I'd like to know them.

However, some folks are so far ahead of (or behind) the pack that their places aren't gonna change too much.

As such, I've removed the players that have a good chance of changing rankings for now:

I think we may now know who the real brains of the outfit are between Barry and Bethy though Barry closed in fast after a slow start as I had predicted. Who knows what would have happened if there was a sixth week of regionals?

Bethany by 300 or more, still. That's my guess. Her low lead over him was 60 points after Week 2...

Also, confirming that everyone participates in the Championship draft, but exact order varies by as little as 2 points. 2 points is easy to gain or lose...

I also kinda think it's goofy to have one person get the top choice for every single division. Bethany deserves some sort of advantage for kicking butt during the regional season, but I feel like the top 4 choices might be a little much.

Of course, I won't complain too much if it does work that way since I am somewhat towards the top of the rankings...

How about she gets a 1, 2, 3, 4 vote like that in the 4 divisions but she can pick 1 division to switch the picking fofrom 1-8,8-1 to 1-8, 1-8

Kellen Hill
07-04-2010, 00:49
It would be odd to have anyone else have a first pick for any of the divisions I suppose, because Bethany was the only one to earn it. I agree with her getting first pick for each division. I am just scared of some of the picks the top players will get.

08-04-2010, 07:05
Thank you thank you! I now feel justified in all those hours and late nights in front of the computer figuring out my pick list was going to be, and all the times I blew my family off for drafts.

Barry I do believe you asked me to join, so that we both did not have lives together. It was a way for us to have fun together. Score!

As for the draft picks I am down with one being in reverse ordr, and I can tell you which one I wouldnt mind switching. I know I earned it, but I would like to share my earnings with you all. I do not mind it one bit!

As this being my first season, I really enjoyed it! Thank you to everyone who has put in countless hours to make this event possible. I am sad to say I will not be in Atlanta, I recieved an award called the New Century Scholar, and I will be recieving the scholarship during Championships. Might I add, it is almost on the complete opposite side of the nation in Seattle, Washington.

From Bill's Blog (http://frcdirector.blogspot.com/2010/04/too-good-to-wait.html)

THESE ASSIGNMENTS ARE NOT FINAL. Teams are still dropping out and signing up which continues to cause last minute changes. When the website goes live, you will be able to see the unofficial list here.

For those going to championships (I am not) when do you leave?

From past years, how fluid are the assignments? I guess that is an advantage for not doing all four divisions and rather one entire group.

I really don't want to pick 469 (well, really Bethany or Barry, but I can dream, right?) and then find out they got swapped divisions when someone else picks them up.

EricH
08-04-2010, 17:40
I'm not going to CMP.

I would guess that the absolute latest a draft could be held would be Tuesday night, though--most teams/volunteers travel Wednesday. A few travel Tuesday.

If we run as late as possible, we'd be running two drafts on Sunday, one on Monday, and one on Tuesday. Still doesn't buy us much time.

Let's just go for it, with players checking their own teams on Tuesday night or Wednesday. If a team switches divisions, they'll have time to trade. All trades final Thursday AM when pits open (8:00 AM). (I'd say Thursday at noon, but that gives those that are there a slight advantage.)

How about if a team switches divisions, the player that owned them in the previous tier has 1st shot at them?

Maybe after one person posts a "claim" of the team, give the owner in the other division 24 hours or until teams lock, whichever comes first to "contest the claim". If the claim is contested the player that owned them in their original division gets the team?

Any word on finalized dates/times for drafts?

I'm going to do Curie tomorrow night at 7 which ought to be interesting since I'm starting my trip down to Atlanta but I'm stopping outside of Cincy. Unless my car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, My car or computer crashes or the hotel I booked lied to me and does not provide high speed internet I plan to run Curie tomorrow night.
Anyone care to do Galileo tomorrow and also provide me with the rankings for Curie?

So who wants to take the hill?

Now that the last draft is over, this is your reminder: the divisional drafts lock Wednesday at midnight, so you have until then to make trades, figure out that your favorite team switched divisions and trade them, and all that sort of thing. Once the deadline passes, the only thing left is to wait for the scores...and watch the matches, of course!

1114 had 158 in Waterloo, 113 in Toronto, and 105 in Pittsburgh for the top rating (over 359).

Rookie is 3256, 96 in Sacramento (and another 28 in Silicon Valley), over 3123's 90 in DC.

I'm hardly surprised by 1114.
So long as they can get a Chairman's in Waterloo they're probably going to keep winning the FF MVP til they take the championship Chairman's home.
I'll have to look up 3256's website to find out what their logo is so I can get their award to them.

I've got a ton of stuff going on right now, I will not be able to get this in a prompt manner. If anyone else wants to do it they are welcome to go for it. I've just been brute forcing the W-L-T by looking each team up on TBA and looking at their record for the event.

After scoring Newton, Barry is indeed in first... but only by 20 points. Dargel1625 is in second; Chris is me is in third; nobody else has cracked 100 points.

More scoring to come over the next day or two...

EricH
26-05-2010, 15:19
FYI--Galileo, 1086 had Coopertition and 1577 picked up the second Judges' Award--neither was reflected in the results sheet.

If you think your teams got shortchanged on awards points, say something and we'll look it up to see if we missed something.

Oh, and with Galileo being scored, Barry's lead is down to 1 point--217, 1517, 1584 couldn't match up to Dargel's 1625, 503, 1403.

Vikesrock
26-05-2010, 15:25
Coopertition Awards were not listed anywhere on the website.

It looks like I did miss the judges award for both 1583 and 1577.

EricH
26-05-2010, 15:36
Coopertition Awards were not listed anywhere on the website.That's weird; according to the Manual Section 5, the Coop Awards are supposed to be given out at the Championship. I'm 90% sure I saw it listed on the divisional awards pages the day of the Championship, too.

Current top 3: Barry, 221; Dargel, 220; Vikesrock, 187; Archimedes and Curie are unscored at this time.

They were definitely given out for each division. 1086, 2612, and then two others.

I'll go ahead and give those 4 the Coop Award points.

This also puts Barry in a 14-point hole, as Dargel had 294. But Barry has 469 and 341 still in his bag of tricks...

EricH
27-05-2010, 01:26
Well, that 14-point hole Barry was in has been eliminated; top 4 are now:

Barry, 342
Vikesrock, 334
Dargel1625, 302
Chris is me, 269

Nobody else is even breaking 200 at this point, with Curie scored. Archimedes should be scored tomorrow.

When you have a world champion ahd a Chairman's award winner on our side you're pretty untouchable.

Vikesrock
27-05-2010, 12:24
Well, I did pull Poofs and 201... but something tells me 341 gives Barry the lock.

Yep, I quickly ran through scores for the top 4 and if I did it right, I did manage to keep it close though with less than 15 pts, between us for the Champs total.

Chris gained on Barry but not nearly enough.

Dargel got hammered by Archimedes and is in a distant 4th.

He got some shockingly good random picks in at least one of the drafts, most notably 3138. Plus you picked nearly every Chairman's threat who wasn't 341.
