I assume you've been saving that seat nice and warm for us? ;)

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Not if Pure MI can beat you to it. We have sat in almost all the seats since our rough start in weeks 1&2... There is one seat left we would really like to try out.

(This has been a lot of fun playing with you guys this year, and I can't believe how close it is as we enter the end of regular season with less than 1% seperating the top 3...).

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

So Week 7 results:

Peach Alliance..................358
PureMichigan ...................336
TeamRUSH.......................326
Canadian Bacon +1 + Joe....310
Team 2............................298
Team Flippin' The Greatest...260
Team Awesome Blossom.......253
The Fellowship of the Fez ....252
Rusty bucket o bolts............250

Beastly As My Fajitas..........242
The Yellow Alliance.............231
The Machine......................190
Team Paradise....................181

PureMichigan........................8235
The Yellow Alliance................8206
Team 2...............................7728
TeamRUSH...........................7289

So congrats to Peach Alliance for winning the Elgin Clock Award

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Mid-pack.... Exactly where we wanted to be!

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

So how cushy is that 1st spot?

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

This has been fun, guys. The Elgin Clock award, wow... Thanks to everyone for such an awesome regular season, these 7 weeks have been insane for the Peach Alliance. Now, the real competition starts. ALL HAIL THE SPREADSHEET.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I'll be representing for Peach Alliance at St. Louis. Ed, where can I pick up our award? :D

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Pretty comfy. It was a very close race until the very end. It's been a fun season, I got to learn about a lot of teams I didn't know last year and gained a new appreciation for statisticians.

FF Championship drafts are going to be fun....

Also, shhhh Kyle, don't reveal our ways of winning ;) .

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I actually thought there was no award for the regional events and just for Champs.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Beware of UBiSS. Great job.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Thank you!
But, I am now fearful of this UBiSS......

There's Elgin Clock & FF MVP for the regular season. The real gold lies within the Fantasy FIRST Champions Award for CMP.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Which reminds me; who got the MVP award in this case?

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

The way the award is written it says highest score at an event, I thought that would include the 4 division fields if not then it is also Peach Alliance with 242 at Smokey Mountain

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I honestly don't know if we changed it from last year, where it was only during the regular season (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...&postcount=306).

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I thought it was highest single-team points at an event.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Are we talking FIRST Team XXXX or Fantasy First Team

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

FRC team, I believe. See the Kyle's link a few posts back.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Highest scoring FIRST team in Fantasy FIRST.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Ok so the highest score at a single event for FF is FIRST Team 948 with 121 points at the Seattle Regional. (Unless my fellow event scorer has anyone higher)

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

That sounds like a pretty good candidate.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I have a few that beat that. The highest was 2648 Infinite Loop with 131 at Pine Tree(12 wins+winner+1 seed+EI+High score+Dean's list). 2056 and 3990 at Waterloo and Montreal respectively had 125.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

The "short list" i have would have been:
2056 Waterloo = Rank 1, EI, Vol of Year, 17-1 record
1983-Seattle
948-Seattle
1986-Hub City

Not sure if Volunteer of the Year gets points...

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Uneasy doesn't even begin to describe the next week and a half. First pick is one of the best and worst fears of the Championship process. So many choices: they could be the jackpot for our alliance, or the fall. And this isn't just anyone we're competing against; this league has some of the most formidable opponents I've met in FIRST.

But, I'll take the small victories as they come; and if this is the last victory we have in FF this season, I'll be content with the world.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

So looks like 2648 is FF MVP. Does the Rookie of the Year work the same way?

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

yes.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

4451 in Orlando with 79 points is my highest, what about my fellow scoring compatriot are you going to have a higher scorer again? :D

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I'd give it to them anyways because they were the rookie team that everyone was talking about this season.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Is there a schedule yet for Championship Drafts?

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

It doesn't. Unlike WFFA and Dean's List, the volunteer could have no team affiliation whatsoever, denying anybody points in multiple events.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Nope, you win this one.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Yes! ok well on to business on the off chance someone wants a random team from a division (:ahh: shocking as it may be) how is the random list determined for each division?

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

er with a randomizer?*

There isn't a standard?

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Well I am asking since I was asked to average the teams fantasy scores for MARC and MSC.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Last year, the random list was something like the bottom half of the teams by FF score, or something like that.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Is there an Archimedes random list?

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Are there any random lists? And can Peach make their other picks please?

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

We're being nice to Ed so he isn't trying to keep up with 4 different drafts at once.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

If Ed didn't post them I guess there isn't but if he posts on here I will make a list based on what ever data he says to sort by.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

That's nice, but getting things started wouldn't hurt..

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

It's a LOT easier to track 4 drafts if there's a lot of time, like there is now. Now, if we were doing these all in one day...

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Can someone list me the Fantasy FIRST scores for the teams in this division so I can use the bottom 50 to gift to someone who doesn't show up?

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Total points (IE add up multiple events)?

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

If possible.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I think this is the list you're looking for. It's just all the points each team got this season for FF. The data's scraped from TBA. If you see any glaring errors let me know, but it should be good.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Reminder for the scorers:

Point values go up at championship for most of the awards. W-L-T and seeding remain the same, but the rest of the awards are now:

Quarter finalists – Division, 5 points
Semifinalists – Division, 10 points
Finalists – Division, 15 points
Divisional Winners, 25 points
Finalists - Einstein Field, 40 points
Winners - Einstein Field, 50 points

Chairman’s – Nationals, 80 points
Engineering Inspiration Award – Nationals, 45 points
Rookie All-Star, 25 points
Rookie Inspiration, 20 points
Woodie Flowers/Judges, 15 points
Dean’s List, 8 points

Highest score / Highest Rookie Seed, 10 points
Robot based award, 25 points
Non-placement award, except previously mentioned, 10 points

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

So I am stuck, I have scored the teams on everything available to me but I can't find an official source for all the winners of each of the awards given out on Einstein, I do have the Judges awards and Rookie awards from the divisions. Can anyone link me to somewhere they are listed?

Also do the finalist and winners of Einstein still get the points for Division Winners or no?

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

I think that's a no. Pretty sure only the Einstein Semifinalists get Division Winner points.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Really? The way I read it, they do. They did win the division.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Following that logic, I believe that every regional winner also needs the Semifinalist and Quarterfinalist points.

Basel is correct: Einstein Finalist and World Champion do not get Divisional Winner points. At least, that's how it's been scored in the past.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Ok after a ruling from Ed, Eric and Basel are correct which means I now have all the divisions scored and we should know our champion by tonight

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

So a few hours late but what is one to do when you get called into work at midnight :(, But here is the announcement of your Fantasy FIRST Champion:

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Hey we didn't come in last! Or second to last!:D :D

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Congrats to PureMichigan for the victory and to Rusty Bucket O' Bolts for coming from the middle of the pack to almost snatching victory away from PureMichigan.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Going from dead last to top 10!

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

So close. :(

Congratulations to PureMichigan winning, along with Peach Alliance for winning the regular season FF.

We had a lot of fun doing this and most of us are already looking to next year.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Congrats PM!

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

glad i wasn't in dead last

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Thanks ... it was a really fun season. We had a lot of great discussions about robots this year that we normally wouldn't have talked about during our weekly FF google hangouts.

I would like to thank and congratulate Team 1538 for the single best pick for championship. If they didn't win Chairmans and take #1 seed on Newton, I doubt we would have won.

Also, personally I really like the team format of FF. The last time I did FF was by myself and it was almost too much work. The team effort really makes it easier and more enjoyable.

Thank you Koko Ed and everyone else that ran the draft and scored the events, without you the league wouldn't exists.

-Clinton-

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

The team format is a home run for certain. It has drastically cut down on delinquency and has made the league run much much better.
I can't wait til next year.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

And next year's proposed format changes are already posted. Most of them are on the organizational side, so there might not be a lot visible to the players--but it'll probably make life a bit easier for organizers.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

First, I want to thank everyone for a wonderful FF season. This being my first season in FF, I had no clue what to expect. Thank you Eric for answering my questions early in the season.
I quickly realized how time consuming it was to make 2 lists most nights for a month and a half on top of doing other things. I have learned my lesson: Don't do FF by yourself ever again. To make good lists and keep up with other things is tough.
Overall, I am proud of how I did. From having basically no clue what FF was all about to being 1st most of the regular season was quite an achievement. Ending in 3rd in both the regular season and CMP was something I never expected. It was a lot of fun learning about all the teams and the histories behind them. I didn't know most of the teams and this gave me an opportunity to learn about their achievements and stats.
Congrats to Peach Alliance and PureMichigan for winning the Elgin Clock Award and the Championship Award. Thanks again everyone for a great and fun season. Good luck next year. I look forward to doing this again.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

First off, I just wanna say...HOW DID WE LET 1538 SLIP THROUGH OUR FINGERS!!! (no seriously, it was either them or 1986 for us)
But anyways, congrats to PureMichigan for winning the championship trophy. We are content with our Elgin Clock Award (which I am still seeking physically because I know it exists from talking with Barry B. at Championships this year and this photo here).

Also, I noticed that award has a Fantasy FIRST logo, which I found another image of here. My question to Ed is...is this logo still good? I've had ideas for making team shirts.

Again, another great season everyone. Looking forward to competing again for next year.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Yup! That's the official FF logo.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

And there goes my hopes at a three year win streak. Just couldn't recover from our bad performances in the first few weeks. This game really changed up who won and who lost.

Thanks to Koko Ed and the other draft runners / scorers for continuing to run an awesome league. This stuff takes a ton of work and I'd like you all to know how much Flippin' The Greatest appreciates all that you guys do.

I'm really, really glad we picked 610.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

What a fun league. We learned a ton about teams outside of Michigan.

Thanks again to the folks that make this league possible.

Re: [FF]: 2013 Season Long Fantasy FIRST
 

Well you know what they say, if you ain't last you're first.

:cool:
