Re: 2006 Pre-Kickoff FF -- IT'S ON!
 

Only one of my team's robots has been released, but I've seen one other. I'm also very confident in my other two teams.
This is going to be a very close competition.

Re: 2006 Pre-Kickoff FF -- IT'S ON!
 

Well im pretty confident in my picks so far. I have only seen the design from 2 of the 4 teams but I still have faith.

192 is the only one of my 4 teams without a pic or vid released yet, but this gives me great hope for my FF team, and Team 192 as well.

I can hardly wait.

I just realized something from an earlier post about the scoring...this year instead it should look like this for selection of bots point values.
picked by first round...points 2nd round
1st...8.....(,5)
2nd..7.5.....1
3rd...7.....1.5
4th...6.5.....2
5th...6.....2.5
6th...5.5.....3
7th...5......3.5
8th...4.5.....4

Re: 2006 Pre-Kickoff FF -- IT'S ON!
 

Fair enough.

Does anyone have a good source of match data for the past two weeks? I can't get data for week one from FIRST (they took it offline), and the stuff I'm hearing about GLR is not making me want to particularly trust it, either. If not, can anyone suggest a fair and equitable revision to scoring that can be implemented with what we do know for sure?

Re: 2006 Pre-Kickoff FF -- IT'S ON!
 

Looks like FLR is correct. i will take one last quick look.

/edit it's all correct but 340 had the WFA and Chairmans. also no Matches posted other then the elims. and yes that second finals match is correct it was an all out DefenSe match.

Re: 2006 Pre-Kickoff FF -- IT'S ON!
 

FIRST is up to it's usual bad stat keeping habits this year.
THey're gonna kill Fantasy FIRST!

Re: 2006 Pre-Kickoff FF -- IT'S ON!
 

The worst change ever. considering 340 were in the elims, WFA winner Jason Rees, and Chairmans winner. $@#$@#$@#$@# i'm kicking myself now. :(

Re: 2006 Pre-Kickoff FF -- IT'S ON!
 

Your faith in 192 paid off handsomely.

Re: 2006 Pre-Kickoff FF -- IT'S ON!
 

Worked for me! :D

Re: 2006 Pre-Kickoff FF -- IT'S ON!
 

Ah, such are the breaks of this sort of challenge.

Just for the record, I haven't forgotten about this league. Final scores will come after Atlanta, when I can breathe.

Problem is, we still have that issue of FIRST not giving data on Week 1 regionals (mainly because the data they do have is, for most intents and purposes, erroneous). It seems like the best way to go about it would be to dump scoring for W/L/T, seeding, and Highest Match Score, which leaves drafting performance, eliminations performance (both of which we can cobble together from Delphi), and awards. It's lame, but I can't think of a way to even it out when some folks had more week 1 teams than others.

If anyone else can think of a better system, I'm all ears.

Re: 2006 Pre-Kickoff FF -- IT'S ON!
 

I think I am doing pretty well so far...
358-Regional Finalist--UTC, Regional Champ--LI
384-Regional Chairmans, Regional Finalist--VCU
25-Regional Champs, Regional Chairmans, WFFA--NJ
231--Yet To Play.

Re: 2006 Pre-Kickoff FF -- IT'S ON!
 

121 has a Regional win under their belt along with the General Motors Industrial Design Award at Boston.
66 won Chairmans at GLR.
1279 is also a Regional winner at NJ
66 is competing again at the West Michigan Regional and 65 is Competing at the Greater Toronot Regional.

Re: 2006 Pre-Kickoff FF -- IT'S ON!
 

I'm doing pretty good I think

• 254
  • 1st at PNW
  • 1st at Silicon Valley
• 16
  
  • Runners Up at St. Louis
  • Still to play at Palmetto
• 103
  
  • 1st at NJ
  • Unlucky at Chespeake
  • Still got Philly to play
• 4
  
  • 1st at Southern Cal
  • Still got GTR

4 Regional wins, not too shabby, 3 more chances to go!

Re: 2006 Pre-Kickoff FF -- IT'S ON!
 

Lessee...

71: EI, Finalist, Chairman's, and Champion in two regionals.
180: Champion at Florida, plus a couple of other handy awards. They've historically done pretty well at Palmetto as well.
342: Alright, so UCF was a little rough for them. They made semis at Palmetto last year, not to mention claiming every single Chairman's Award the regional has ever awarded. I have high hopes.
1398: The Robo-Raiders might not be the most successful robot on the field, but they have a solid track record at Palmetto when it comes to their work in the community, which has led to some pretty big awards in their past (Rookie All-Star in 2004, EI in 2005). I have equally high hopes.
