Texas Rankings
Similar to what Joe Ross did for California (in this thread) I have applied the FiM ranking system to teams in texas through week 2.
Here are the FiM points system. Code:
POINT CATEGORY POINTS POINTS I plan on updating this through the season using the teams's first two regional performances. At this point there are 2 teams which have had 2 events (and they are marked with an *). Also many teams have not played. Code:

Re: Texas Rankings
I know you said there would be changes to this, will chairmans and eingineering inspiration be added to the awards list?

The real question is when Texas goes to districts how big will the state championship be. Quote:

RCA automatically qualifies your robot to attend the State/Region CMP. EI and RAS were able to attend (sans robot) and set up a booth to compete for those awards. |
Re: Texas Rankings
Greg,
You beat me to it. I kept one of these last year for curiosity sake. Do you have a spreadsheet for the calculations or doing it by hand? Joe Ross and I were visiting about it. I asked him how he would handle teams that compete in more than two tournaments? He is keeping one with an average as well for each team. Very interesting information to look at. I also wonder if the District model will only include Texas. See you in San Antonio at Alamo. |

Glad to see other people around Texas are thinking along similar lines. Thanks for posting. |

I have no idea how the districts will be setup. I have heard rumblings with all sorts of possibilities including what states (or countries) get included and when the change will happen (next year or the following year or beyond). I look forward to seeing you and your team at Alamo. Quote:

Re: Texas Rankings
I imagine we'll probably get Oklahoma, and arkansas included. I doubt Mexico because of the logistical implications. Theyll probably get their own regional once texas and the south moves to district, since they wont be able to come into the district events.

Greg thanks for putting this data together.
Since we're talking about Texas Districts. First I know nothing official except I'm pretty sure we're not going to districts next season. 2nd everyone that's interested should look at what New England is putting together. http://www.nefirst.org/blog/. Their model solves a lot of the problems we would have in Texas with the FiM model. We still don't know if FIRST is going to approve their proposal. It eliminates the requirement for two events before the district championship which would be very difficult on some of our teams from the south and from the west. Also attached is a graphic that someone (I don't know who) produced that has Texas as a region all by itself and it includes the eventual Super Regionals. Before we go to a full District system I think we should work on getting a state championship after FRC Championships like Minnesota. http://www.mnfirstregional.org/offseason/mshsl I remember reading about this idea somewhere in the FIRSTinTexas strategic plan but I can't find it now. |

Re: Texas Rankings
As an aside, according to our scouting data of the top 25 teams on this list:
22 / 25 can shoot 20 / 25 can climb to Level 1 4 / 25 can climb above Level 1 8 / 25 will be at Alamo If anyone's interested on the scouting data we collected from Lone Star & Lubbock, just let me know! |
Re: Texas Rankings
Any chance of a Texas Ranking update before Alamo?

I would guess Cryptonite 624 should be up there in that list as well. I snipped the few going to Alamo this week. Quote:

Honestly, we are still wrapping our heads around the fact that we are anywhere near being discussed in these rankings! This year has really been a shock to us, in a good way, of course, and we are really hoping that we can bring a wild card into play this weekend ;) |

Re: Texas Rankings
So earlier today I was working on which 64 teams in Texas would have qualified for the Texas State Championship this year. However, due to my computer committing suicide on me I lost the Excel spread sheet that took me 3 hours to make...
I'll try to recreate the spread sheet tonight and post the rankings tomorrow morning. Here are somethings that I remember before my computer died: There were 9 teams between ranks 60-68 with 12 points. This means that we would have had a few tie breakers come into play. A few Texas teams, such as FRC 4000, do not exist anymore even though they were only in circulation for one year. Teams that qualified through "District" Chairman's/Engineering Inspiration/Rookie All-star were: 1429 2468 2936 118 4502 4610 The top ten was: 1. 148 2. 118 3. 4063 4. 3310 5. 2587 6. 2468 7. 2936 8. 231 9. 704 T-10. 624 T-10. 3847 Hopefully these small nuggets of info will sate your curiosity for tonight. :D |
Re: Texas Rankings
Greg,
I know you are waaaaay busy, but any chance of a Texas ranking update? TIA, Mr. B |
Re: Texas Rankings
I'm not completely finished but since Mr. B asked for it. Only half of the tie breakers are done and before you ask I'm only doing tie breakers for the top 64 teams. After that it's just too much to ask of me :(

Re: Texas Rankings
So...HYPOTHETICALLY speaking...under this model...the top 64 teams would then go to state, and then only 6 could qualify for champs?

QUALIFYING FOR THE FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP 3 spots – one for each of the three State Championship Chairman’s Award winners 3 spots – one for each of the three teams making up the winning alliance at the State Championship 1 spot – for the State Championship Rookie All-Star Award winner 1 spot – for the State Championship Engineering Inspiration Award winner The remaining 19 qualifying spots will be filled by starting at the top of the re-computed rankings and moving down as far as is necessary to fill the nineteen spots, skipping over teams that are already eligible or scheduled to attend. |
Re: Texas Rankings
INteresting...

Re: Texas Rankings
which is only 3 more than go currently (Albeit some of our spots got to visiting teams, and if by some force of weirdness 148 didnt qualify normally we'd send 25 instead of 24. )

TX with 140-some teams would get somewhere in the neighborhood of 18-20 teams. |

This year only 16 Texas teams qualified for Championship. In my opinion, 20 is better than 16 :D |

If all new areas contemplating moving to districts get stuck at the the MI ratio, most areas currently qualify more teams via regionals than they would via this district formula. If this happens, we'll probably never see more districts, because why move to districts and qualify less teams for CMP? The correct way should be to increase the number of MI qualifying spots (IMHO MI should qualify 25-30 teams as they would currently have 4-5 regionals if they were not districts). Ideally, FIRST should create a universal formula for determining the number of Championship berths a district gets based upon number of teams in that district, so that all current and potential districts are fair and identical in # of CMP berths. Edit: As a rough pass at a first guessing a formula, I would estimate # of CMP berths = 18% of total teams, rounded up to next integer. Using this formula, the following current and proposed districts would qualify: MI: 38 teams TX: 26 teams (currently qualifies 24 via 4 regionals). CA: 39 teams |

Getting to the goodies though...
Here are the teams that would have been invited to compete in the Texas State Championship IF it existed this year. Code:

Texas would get ~19 slots using the same logic. |
Re: Texas Rankings

Thanks for putting all this together, hopefully all three of us Texas teams can get our championship number up to where it should be. |
Re: Texas Rankings
Quote:
We stayed at 18 slots until this year, despite adding about 50 teams over the first 4 years of districts - even when CMP expanded to 400 last year. This year we finally got reallocated 27 slots. It appears that they will be allocating by representation as future areas go to districts. MAR allocation is also based on team population. |

Re: Texas Rankings
One of these days we will have an official Texas State Championship.
But for now we have Texas Robot Round-up (TRR) . Almost all of the top 20 teams in the rankings are attending TRR, except for 57 , 231 , 1429 & 3802 , but maybe they will register soon ... Quote:

Re: Texas Rankings
Hopefully they sign up soon...there aren't too many slots left!

Sometimes conflicts in the schedule arise.... on a more serious note.
Does anyone have contacts for RoboPop 3802 ? it would be nice to confirm that they got the TRR invite. |

They responded. They didn't know about it. They do now!

Re: Texas Rankings
Wait, you think I actually have any say in how the team spends money and events it attends? Have you MET Lucia? I'm just this guy that gets robots built, preferably under budget. She's the one actually running things.
Also, yes, unless the TRR is happening next weekend, I'm probably going to be too busy chasing a small human toddling/running around the house. Probably leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. And since his birthday's next weekend... So yeah. Numerous reasons, including the free Fall Remix invitational, mean the Leopards won't be attending TRR. I know it will be difficult, but I'm expecting you guys to keep it together and at least pretend you're having a fun competition without us. |
