Indiana FIRST Championship Event - May 18
New for 2013, IndianaFIRST is hosting a State Championship. The invited team list is based on qualifying points similar to FiM, MAR and Minnesota. Ranking points are based on a teams best event but only one event. The only real difference in our point system is that points were awarded for RCA, EI and RAS.
There will 24 teams competing. The event plan is to play "Exhibition" matches in the morning, then have alliance selections, and then the Elimination tournament. Alliance captains are based on the ranking points as listed below. The Exhibition matches will allow teams to see each other play. The event is May 18 at Pery Meridian High School in Indianapolis. EDIT - There was an error with 4008 and 1760. The updates are below. The correction puts 4008 at 27 and 1760 at 28. Rank Team Points 1 1741 74 2 868 71 3 234 67 4 71 64 5 829 49 6 447 44 7 1024 41 8 4824 38 9 3947 36 10 3147 35 11 1018 35 12 4545 34 13 1747 33 14 3301 33 15 1646 31 16 3940 29 17 135 28 18 3936 27 19 1501 27 20 461 25 21 2197 19 22 3176 19 23 3487 18 24 4781 18 25 4791 16 26 4690 16 27 4008 15 28 1760 15 29 3565 14 30 4272 13 31 292 12 32 45 12 33 4070 12 34 4485 12 35 2867 12 36 3494 11 37 1720 10 38 1529 10 39 2360 10 40 3865 10 41 4211 10 42 4580 10 43 4846 9 44 4103 8 45 4081 8 46 2171 6 47 3559 6 48 4058 6 49 4234 6 50 3180 5 51 2909 4 52 4760 0 |
Re: Indiana FIRST Championship Event - May 18
Awesome! I'm glad to see another state following in MN's footsteps :)
Out of curiosity, what's the rationale for using a team's best event? Here in MN, the decision was made to use every team's first event, in order to eliminate any benefit a team would have from playing at multiple events. Personally, I can see the argument either way... last year, my team didn't make States because we blew it our first event, but we did well our second. |
Re: Indiana FIRST Championship Event - May 18
The reason we went with best event is because this is a robot competition, and we wanted the 24 best robots in Indiana. This is the pilot year for this program, and we wanted the most 'bang for our buck' from a spectator standpoint. If this model doesn't work for some reason, we can always change it in the future.
It should be noted that the criteria for ranking teams is based on the FiM/MAR/MN models, but we also assigned points for RCA and EI. |
Re: Indiana FIRST Championship Event - May 18
I find the usage of ranking for alliance captains interesting. Is the intent of this to make the event one day.

Here in MN, we don't award points for RCA or EI... Instead we give 10 points for submitting for Chairman's, regardless of which regional you submit at. They started that in order to provide an extra incentive to submit and help teams progress overall. |

If they're following Minnesota's lead, it will be a 4 alliance tournament, 1vs4, 2vs3, winners play for the title.

Re: Indiana FIRST Championship Event - May 18
To answer a few of the questions -
We used the rankings for Alliance Captains so we could do a 1 day event. During May, adding another day out of school for students was going to be a challenge. We also knew that doing any type of qualification matches needed 8 - 10 matches to be effective, so we decided to use the rankings. The "exhibition" matches allow the alliance captains to see robots in action that they may not have seen during the season. Alliance selection will be 1-8, 8-1. Our only difference is that if you are not an alliance captain at the time you are picked, you cannot decline. (For example, if you are #9 and expecting to move up, you still have to say yes). 8 alliances of 3 robots. No backups. |

This is awesome!
Even though 3081 will not be competing at state champs this year, last year was incredible. Inaugural tournaments are always exciting and special. Have fun! A state championship brings in a lot of statewide attention - just what FIRST needs! :) |

if a robot breaks, it becomes 3 v 2.
but a broken robot can return to another match if it gets fixed. There will be a link for volunteering. here is the updated IndianaFIRST website. http://www.indianafirst.org/pages/state |
Re: Indiana FIRST Championship Event - May 18
There was an error in the original ranking list.
Check the first post for the correction. Team 4008 and 1760 moved up in the rankings. |
Re: Indiana FIRST Championship Event - May 18
I'd like to ask that every team that registers for this event please volunteer one personnel if you haven't yet. This is not a requirement to compete, but we are still in need of field reset crew and referees especially.
If you're interested, please sign up to volunteer via the link below: Indiana State Championship Event Volunteer Signup Thank you! |
