540 is divisible by 6, but not 8.

Indiana is getting a slightly smaller number of slots than last year.

Edit: Also, only 9 teams made champs from Indiana on merit last year. You guys should be even better represented this year. (45 pre-qualified). Edit 2: looks like 868 got a wildcard slot at QC |

If you look at it in a different light, if you combine the 2 regionals and their 12 qualification slots, but then eliminate the duplicate RCA, EI, and RAS (since the district will only have 1 of each), you get 9 unique spots. I had hoped for more slots, but the proportional representation seems fair. |
Re: FRC Blog - District Slot Allocations at 2015 FIRST Championship
This is more of an incentive to switch to districts in large areas.
For example, in MN we send a maximum of 24 teams to champs under the regional system. At each event we can qualify a Regional Chairman's Award Winner, Engineering Inspiration Award Winner, the winning alliance and possibly a Rookie All-Star. 6*4 = 24. Using the numbers that Frank posted and assuming that all the teams are paid for, we would advance 35/39 teams if we were in districts. 192/2989 = .06765 .06765*570 = 38.56 .06765*510 = 34.5 Let me know if I did my math wrong. |

Overall, separate from the ability of any particular team to make it to Championships, the NE district teams got a good deal more play time than in previous years for a lower cost. (We had a good year and ended up running in more than 120 matches!) That is a win. |
Re: FRC Blog - District Slot Allocations at 2015 FIRST Championship
Um, doesn't this mean there's probably going to be 6 divisions next year or is this old news? I know it was hinted at in the past. 600 in total vs 400 in total.

I still think they're going to find a way to do 8 divisions of 65~75 teams. Less teams per division means more matches per team. Plus, it avoids making Einstein too complicated. |

Regardless, +1 to FIRST for adding a ton more slots. Awesome to grow with the population of teams! |
Re: FRC Blog - District Slot Allocations at 2015 FIRST Championship
9/400=0.0225
9/540=.01667 Thant's more than a 25% reduction of slots for Indiana teams. I don't see how this is anything but bad for Indiana teams. The field at Champs finally increases and we see zero benefit from it. I'm not real happy. |
