FRC 2015 Championship News
 

Frank Announced tonight:

There will be 600 teams at the Championships

They will be playing on 8 fields

Einstein will have 8 alliances on from each division

There will be 2 fields for Einstein this year.

Thoughts?

I'll be disappointed if one of the fields isn't Tesla field....also...HOW?! Does this mean the Einstein Fields won't be fresh/unused (i.e., used for two of the divisions)?

Re: Championship 2015: 8 Divisions, 600 Teams
 

So if they can support 2 fields for Einstein, they should be able to support 2 fields for MSC, right?

Re: Championship 2015: 8 Divisions, 600 Teams
 

and
Einstein will have 8 alliances on from each division

Will the amount of alliances on the field change?

Real or Troll Thread?

Re: FRC 2015 Championship News
 

Two fields... Hopefully what they'll do with that is have matches running back-to-back, with setup taking place on the other field during each match. That would be fun to watch for sure! What I'm afraid they'll do is have just as many speeches as before, with matches taking place simultaneously on both fields in between...

I still maintain that 6 divisions and a round-robin would have been really fun to watch, but I suppose this is a much better way to fit 600 teams.

It was just announced by Frank.

Re: Championship 2015: 8 Divisions, 600 Teams
 

I don't remember him saying that...that would mean 64 alliances in total (8 alliances from 8 divisions). That doesn't seem right.

You mean Einstein will have 8 alliances, one from each division?

Did they announce names?

Re: Championship 2015: 8 Divisions, 600 Teams
 

I guess we'll find out tomorrow...

Re: Championship 2015: 8 Divisions, 600 Teams
 

Wow....... Never thought there would be 8 fields and two Einsteins

Two Einsteins means little dead time between championship matchups. That's good!

I'm excited.

Re: FRC 2015 Championship News
 

Nope.

Re: Championship 2015: 8 Divisions, 600 Teams
 

I'm curious to see how they work 2 fields for viewing purposes. From my experience, it would be very hard to see two fields at once inside the dome, especially if you're not in the middle.
