If the split happened in 2016, what would each CMP's OPRs look like?

Re: Split Champs assignment
 

Is there a way to move this post to the top of the thread? Or could the OP edit in this link so that the first post is not just the map?

Re: Split Champs assignment
 

Southern champs for us!

Re: Split Champs assignment
 

On the other hand, three of the past four (and four of the past six)Chairman's Winners will be on the Houston side of the divide.

Re: Split Champs assignment
 

That's what I read into this too. As much as it could be super simple, they're probably going to make an overly complicated system to make sure the events are approximately balanced.

We're set to go to Houston, but I'm pretty excited for it. The event might not be as strong (or at least, that's what it seems like most people think), but it has almost every major international area, in addition to teams from both coasts of the US. That's going to be fun.

Re: Split Champs assignment
 

Guess we will be in Houston, missing our East Coast, Canadian, and some International buddies.
I know I say this a lot,
but man FIRST really $@#$@#$@#$@#ed up with this call.

Re: Split Champs assignment
 

So when's the next time you'll see your alliance partners from last week ever again?

Re: Split Champs assignment
 

Took care of it. Hope that helps!

Re: Split Champs assignment
 

Wow... it took them a year and special committee to come up with this? They haven't even decided on "non-home" champs selections or culminating event details.

Also I wish FIRST would stop focusing on the "affordable" of this when they are making TN and NC go to Houston instead of Detroit/St. Louis. Not to mention that Houston is one of the more expensive places to fly to in the US.

Re: Split Champs assignment
 

Really disappointed that NC got assigned to Houston. The trip to Houston is around 200 miles further than to St. Louis and 400 miles further than to Detroit. We will be looking at significantly high bus/flight costs (not to mention possibly needing a third driver if bussing) as well as increased travel time.
I understand the need to balance the teams, but an additional 400 miles (or more from other places) is a massive burden to put on teams looking to grow.

MidKnight Mayhem for 1712 and 869 ;)

Actually, all of our alliance partners fell on the same side of the split as we did. And in the same pit aisle. It was a pretty easy alliance to find after alliance selection.

Re: Split Champs assignment
 

It will be interesting to see if the option to change championships will weigh "Power Factor" or HOF status. Maybe only teams with OPR in a certain range will be allowed to switch?

Re: Split Champs assignment
 

Pardon my canadian geography, but are 1114, 2056, and 1241 going to the St.Louis/ Detroit champs?

Re: Split Champs assignment
 

Correct.

We'll be saving our energy for 2021. See you then :rolleyes:
