2015 Texas District Ranks
Below is a list of district points each Texas team would have gotten based on their performance at Texas regionals, out of state regionals were not included. Only the first 2 regionals were used determine points. The first list is based on actual data. Second list assumes that a team with only 1 regional would do as well if they had completed in 2 regionals. Tiebreakers were use to determine the final places in a 64 team state champs.
No adjustment to data Code:
Rank Team # Points Qualified?Code:
Rank Team # Points Qualified?Finally based on the number of qualifying teams from PWN and FIM, Texas would have 25-27 teams qualify for worlds in a districts. Best I could figure Texas has 30 teams qualified for worlds, but 11 of those are waitlist, 1 is a champ from last year and 1 is from the events at Dallas. So Texas could have had 8-10 more teams at worlds if it was a district. |
Re: 2015 Texas District Ranks
Some things you should take into consideration is that in the district model, you won't have the large number of teams at the event like at regionals. Also you'll get a lot more teams winning awards and rookies getting points from awards. I would also assume that dominant teams like 118, 148, and others would go to more than two events and that a lot of points would be removed from the total.
This isn't meant to criticize, just to bring to your attention some of the other factors that can affect the way the points are distributed. |

Re: 2015 Texas District Ranks
Going to be honest here, it's really sad being last on that list. Who knew going out of state for both of our events would have these sorts of ramifications. :)

Re: 2015 Texas District Ranks
Definitely interesting to see. The District System is the future, no two ways about it, the only question is when for a given area so this gives teams a good idea what it would look like. As mentioned because the number of teams per event is lower in the district system those numbers would be skewed a little higher. I think it would mostly effect the middle of the pack teams but overall it would change things radically. The other thing is that for many teams in our area their performance improved at their second event. This will skew things slightly as well, The teams that would have attended their second event earlier would probably do a little better than the teams who attended their first event a little later.
I've found as the second year of the District System has come to a close there is definitely a strategy behind picking your events. Of course for next year we are thinking about switching to the "home district" event selection similar to how FiM handles things to make registration easier. Teams will still be able to opt out of their home district but they will be on their own to register for their two events and at the mercy of the popular events filling up quickly. I do have a question though as to how you calculated those points since you show a team with 0 points and the minimum number of points that can be earned per event under this season's qualification ranking points system is 4 per event attended. Yes if you look at the PNW points you will see a team with zero points but that is because they did not attend any events, the lead mentor had family issues to deal with and the other mentor nor any parents were willing to step up and bring the kids and robot, despite the fact that PNW FIRST added them to an already full event so they could play at least once. Needless to say I was rather disappointed. We had another team who's only mentor couldn't make it to their second event but a parent stepped up, jumped through all the school district hoops and got them there. Once they arrived the first thing we did was connect them with a couple of teams with a large mentor base to ensure they had a good event and we certainly would have done the same for the other team. |

Re: 2015 Texas District Ranks
Could someone post a point breakdown chart?

Re: 2015 Texas District Ranks
Here is the algorithm used to determine the Qualification points http://www.usfirst.org/sites/default...0Breakdown.pdf
Alliance points are as follows. 17-n where n is either the alliance captain number or the selection number. There 10 points awarded for each level of the elimination rounds you advance from. So making it to the Semis gives you 10 points, making it to the finals gets you 20 points and overall winner gets 30 points. Awards are worth 5 points except for Chairman's at 10, RAS and EI at 8. Rookie teams get a once per season 10 point bonus and 2nd year teams get a once per season 5 point bonus. Winning Chairman's also qualifies the team and the Robot for DCMP while RAS and EI qualifies the team but not the robot to compete for that award at DCMP. However if the team wins RAS or EI at DCMP the team and the robot earn a slot at CMP. With the current number of slots at CMP and the resulting increase in spots per District it is possible for a team to earn a spot at CMP w/o winning a single district event or even being selected for the eliminations round at DCMP. There were a couple of teams that did that in the PNW district this year. |

So for an example.....(This is only an example, #of teams is not accurate!) Dallas 50 teams FIM 200 teams MAR 120 teams PNW 80 teams Total 450 teams Of the total, FIM gets 44% allocation of championship slots for districts MAR gets 26% allocation of championship slots for districts PNW gets 17% allocation of championship slots for districts Dallas gets 11% allocation of championship slots for districts So 11% of 50 is 5.5 teams to go to championships. This includes the 3 winners, Chairmans, & EI. So no extra teams based on points would get to attend. If the Dallas area grows and adds more teams it would get more slots. Now, if there are extra slots, Dallas teams that win outside events take away from those available slots. So if a team wins in Oklahoma, that slot is now used by a Texas team and is not available to be given out based on points. I sincerely hope, once I get settled in the area I can get more involved with there and hopeful provide some guidance, experience and insights to the district model. |
