We have a few options, as I see it. Karthik and I can pick again, which puts him at a huge disadvantage, since he's replacing a #1 pick with a #4 pick. Or, we could drop the worst performing robot for him, and so his worst robot would be 69. Or, we could Just drop 69 from him, and take his other three robots as an average.

Thoughts?

No matter what, I end up at some sort of disadvantage with the loss of my number 1 pick. It's all good. I'm content with just taking the average of my three teams, and seeing how they do.

Actually.. even with a handicap, you still win. Results are coming!

Re: Fantasy FIRST Battlecry Division 3

Ok. To determine the scores of each player, I calculated the score of each robot chosen. The method used was nothing knew, I just doubled the number of wins and added any ties. Due to the fact that I was watching the elimination rounds, I knew which robots were out on the field in each match; therefore, only those robots received win points when their alliance won.

Teams 782, 571, 596, 181, and 177 received byes for the eighth finals. Since it would be unfair to not include that level of play in their totals, they all received win points as they theoretically won those matches.

With teams dropping out at the last minute, Karthik and Joe were given handicaps. We didn't really come to a concensus as to how the handicaps were to be handled, so I calculated the scores as though the missing teams won zero matches. I did this just to see if there would be any wide gaps, etc, that would negate the need to augment the scores. And indeed there was, so...

The spreadsheet I used is attached. You can check the results for yourself.

PHP Code:


		
			
Rank    Player          1st Pick    2nd Pick    3rd Pick    4th Pick    Score

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1       Karthik         69          177         782         562         59*

2       Joel J.         571         175         157         1100        59

3       Joe Ross        222         181         1099        596         42**

4       Tom Schindler   61          121         228         839         35

5       Andy Grady      236         173         131         1307        32

6       Koko Ed         237         190         88          238         31

7       JVN     126         176         134         467         24

* 69, had they shown up, would need to tie in one round
in order for Karthik to win. And I think they were more than
capable of doing that.

**1099, had they shown up, would need to win 9 matches
in order for Joe to get 2nd place. To tie for second place,
1099 would need to win 8 matches and tie the last.

Re: Fantasy FIRST Battlecry Division 3

Cue the Queen people.

Imagine that, a Canadian winning the "big boys" division of Battlecry Fantasy FIRST. It was a struggle competing with all you Northeasterners, but as always I rose to the challenge. I guess my natural talents and immense prognosticating skills shone threw in the end. (or i was just really lucky, but whatever...)

BTW, I wear and prefer a size small, but I'll take whatever shirts you guys have. :)

I've paid my dues, time after time...;)

Re: Fantasy FIRST Battlecry Division 3

Karthik has chosen a 1999 Beachbot shirt from me.

However, he says it would be prohibitively expensive to ship to Canada. Are any of you going to IRI, and would let me ship you the shirt to give to him there?

Has there been a final teams list for IRI? Would you guys be interested in another round?

Re: Fantasy FIRST Battlecry Division 3

Infinite Props to the Canadian Wonder Kid...
I dread the day I end up on the opposite side of the field from you.

Karthik has chosen to receive a 2005-229 shirt.
Another IOU for my pile.

I'm game for an IRI round.
Anyone else?

John

Re: Fantasy FIRST Battlecry Division 3

Yea. I'm up for an IRI round.

Karthik, what do you want? John has already offered the 229 shirt.

I don't know, you seemed to enjoy that practice round at Long Island way too much. I recall you smiling and waving to me as you kept us of the bar... (Who plays defense in a practice round?...)

A 2004 Clarkson shirt would be great, or even something that you might have kicking around from your 173 days.

And yeah, I'm up for an IRI round.

Sorry man, couldn't help myself.
It was just tooooo easy.

Your purty little robot practically blocked itself.

Besides, if I recall, you DID pick us for our defensive abilities. We then won a Gold Medal playing defense. Weird. ;)

Re: Fantasy FIRST Battlecry Division 3

Gentleman,
Let the kid play. He's one of the brightest FIRSTers out there, and one hell of a strategist.

I would yield my spot to him in a heartbeat.

John

Re: Fantasy FIRST Battlecry Division 3

Karthik, I'm glad 562 was able to help you beat these losers! :p
