Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Divisions won't be assigned until registration for Atlanta is closed.

They'd bump 4 to Newton and 5 to Archimedes so it would become

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Thanks for the speedy respones...so i'm also assuming that these lists are comprised of teams that qualified, not necessarily going...for example

team 433 won (and most deservedly so) the EI at Philly today, and since registration is closed on Tuesday (correct me if I'm wrong) then they won't be going to atlanta, and thus the lists will shift again...so i guess we'll just have to wait and see when registration closes.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

I thought teams had 2 weeks to register. I know when we won SVR back in 2004 that's what we had, and we needed all of it to scrounge up the money.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

I highly doubt that 254/968 1114/1503/1680 or 494/70 end up in the same division.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Seeing as 1680 isn't on the list yet, at least 1/3 of your prediction will be true.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

They're on the list, but not in the same division as 1503 and 1114.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Once FIRST officially releases the divisions, the teams don't get added in the middle. The get added at the end. In your example, team 3 would get added to A. The next team would get added to C.

Like Joey Gannon said, the Divisions won't come out until registration closes, so there may be no changes, or if there is a team added from the waiting list, it won't mess everyone up.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Six more teams added today. 1114, 1503, and 1680 are all in separate divisions. 254 and 968 are separate, but 70 and 494 are together. The fourth division looks to be the strongest.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Is anyone else seeing alot of the same teams in thier division again this year? not just from the updated list, but in all of them nearly the same pattern.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

103 isnt on there :( ...we just registered so im sure it will take a little while for FIRST to get our name on the books

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

**Why do we all keep doing this when we KNOW the list is going to change? Humans are funny.

Here are the divisions with all pending teams included:

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

:( 233 is now not in our division. but we did get 111 :D

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

175 and 254 are both in our division as of right now :D

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

How do you know FIRST will select divisions this way?

I really hope FIRST has some creativity and mixes up the division selection this year. They could do it a number of ways:

ABCD

1st 10 (or another number) are in 1 division, next 10 in another, next 10 in another, next 10 in another

Geographically: west, east, south, north

Team colors: Red & Orange, Yellow & Green, Blue & Indigo, Violet & Black
(that would be HILARIOUS!!)

Time in FIRST: 15-10 years, 9-6 years, 5-3 years, 2-1 years

Team names: All teams with "Robo" in one division, all teams with "Techno" in another, All teams with "bot" in the third, and the rest for others. OK... that would not work too well.

Random selection, Wednesday night @ Championships: We all gather in the dome while Dean and Woodie draw numbers from a lotto machine. Numbers go on the big screen and teams cheer. Forklifts go crazy in the pits shuffling crates back and forth. Mass hysteria ensues. Silliness prevails.

The 4 Field m/c's are "team captains". They pick which teams are in their divisions, like on the elementary school playground before a kickball game. The last team picked in each division automatically is partnered with the #1 seed in the finals.

oh... this is getting fun...

FIRST counts up the number of calls and emails from each team. The teams with the most calls and emails asking for assistance all get placed into one division, as the teams who never call or email are placed in another. Teams who call only sometimes are put into two other divisions. The one division with all of the "communicators" has a riot midway through the Q matches on Friday.

All Chairman's Award finalists, spirit award winners, and teams with WFFA winners are placed in the same division. All other teams are strewn about the three remaining divisions. The CA, spirit, and WFFA division winners are determined by which teams are the loudest and the most helpful. The matches in this division stop midway through Friday, as everyone forms a group hug and then proceeds to do the Cha Cha Slide for the rest of the day.

... or, they can just do the ABCD method.
