I really appreciate the little details you went to the trouble of using for your graph. The team colors based graph lines are fantastic!

I mistakenly wrote that 340 had two Finalist appearances, when they had four. 2012 Buckeye, 2014 FLR, 2015 FLR, 2016 FLR.

Inspired by Rachel's plot.

Here is New England district, Max OPR std deviations above mean plot, all 3 years, 20 or so teams ( top OPR teams of 2016).

Data is from Team 2834 database. (I think the bible?)

Only includes teams that have all 3 years - (sorry Mobius, and other emerging teams).

Of course OPR doesn't equate to blue banners.... OPR is OPR.

Re: Best in your State/Region
 

This is actually really interesting, how did you make this graph?

Re: Best in your State/Region
 

Andrew... by Blue Banner count? What method are you using to come up with this list?

A mix of OPR and ranking

Re: Best in your State/Region
 

Seeing as this thread is filled with great data attempting to distill great teams, I'll add my own completely subjective rankings for the North Carolina teams! In no particular order, I hold these 5 teams as some of the mostly consistently strong in the NC District:

1533 - Triple Strange
900 - The Zebracorns
3506 - Yeti
2655 - The Flying Platypi
2059 - The Hitchhikers

If I didn't have to limit the list to 5, I might also throw in*:
2642 - Pitt Pirates
4935 - T-Rex
587 - Hedgehogs

* (highly technical note): this list omits some talented up and comers who just haven't been around long enough.

Who'll take a whack at Michigan? :rolleyes:

Re: Best in your State/Region
 

Strictly looking at OPR for 2016, these would be the top 5 teams in Georgia:

2415
1261
1746
4468
2974

I'll wait for someone else to do it, then disagree with whatever they say. :p

Re: Best in your State/Region
 

Quick and Dirty top 20 in Michigan.
I have a sheet I use that looks at top finishing teams in the state, and I use this data as a power ranking for the district competitions.

So based on 5 years as requested... so if you didn't exist for 5 years, you are ineligible... 190 teams in 2012 are eligible 411 teams in 2016, means over half the teams that exist in the state, are not eligible in this calc...

Really makes you want to spend time and crank out metrics to justify rankings, but hey here you go. :)

Based on final FiM ranking data and the last 5 years, here is the top 20 teams in the state... or 1/2 of the state that currently have teams?

Re: Best in your State/Region
 

What does a "0" mean in ranking?

Re: Best in your State/Region
 

It means my [MATCH,INDEX] for 2016 in my worksheet, was looking at the line below RUSH, instead of starting with RUSH being ranked 1 this year. :)

Good catch, I don't think it changed the ranking, but I did fix and update the graphic. :)
