Average Qual score: 20

Average Elim score: 50

Re: YOU Predict the Average Match Score of 2013's Week 1 Regionals
 

20 will be enough to win all but a few qualifying matches - I don't see most alliances accomplishing much more than a couple scored frisbees and one Level 1 hang, with penalties canceling a lot of that out. Elims might be slightly better, but I don't see many scores above 50 and I would be surprised if there are any above 75.

Quals: 28
Elims: 52

High score: 74

Are we normally this far off?

Re: YOU Predict the Average Match Score of 2013's Week 1 Regionals
 

Look at the links in the OP. The answer is (I think) so.

Re: YOU Predict the Average Match Score of 2013's Week 1 Regionals
 

We usually overestimate. I'd say that this year our net 'offness' is considerably worse than usual.

Did someone post averages already that I missed?

Re: YOU Predict the Average Match Score of 2013's Week 1 Regionals
 

Week 1

• Quals: 45.2
  • Winning: 59.7
  • Losing: 29.3
• Elims: 80.4
  • Winning: 100.3
  • Losing: 60.5

Week 2

• Quals: 43.3
  • Winning: 60.1
  • Losing: 28.3
• Elims: 85.1

Yes, but usually in the opposite direction.

Re: YOU Predict the Average Match Score of 2013's Week 1 Regionals
 

This year, everyone seemed to think that week 1 teams were going to suck despite the ridiculous amount of points possible.

Re: YOU Predict the Average Match Score of 2013's Week 1 Regionals
 

Mathematically speaking, these numbers must be wrong (at least one of them). There is an equal number of winning scores and losing scores, so the average elims score should be equal to the average of the winning alliance scores and losing alliance scores. I get 85.1 when I do this calculation, which contradicts the 93.7, indicating one of the 3 numbers must be incorrect. For the rest of the numbers presented, this result is almost observed (within a point).

I don't know what I did, but whatever it was was wrong. Corrected.

Re: YOU Predict the Average Match Score of 2013's Week 1 Regionals
 

In general I think everyone assumed shooting discs would be harder and that fewer week one regional robots would be fully functional. The averages for week one are closer to what I thought week 3 would be.

Re: YOU Predict the Average Match Score of 2013's Week 1 Regionals
 

I think we all underestimated just how consistent these game pieces are in comparison to all other years in recent memory (barring 2008, and maybe 2010 perhaps)
