Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

heh.
I actually was thinking of starting one on Friday.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

I really do hope they get creative this year and do some sort of randomization. Bracket teams together by years participating in FIRST, then assign an equal amount to each one of the four divisions. All random assignments though.
I really dont like that we are basically guaranteed to not participate against the likes of RUSH or BUZZ or 22 or 20.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

I'll raise my hand as the first to agree with Corey. We've only been to Nationals twice, but it seems we had a bunch of the same teams in our division each time. Maybe divisions could be arranged by a point system?

A regional participation gets you 1 point. Being one of the Top 8 teams is 2 points. Regional finalist is 3 points. Regional Winner is 5 points.

After all points are distributed, teams could be sorted the same way they are now, starting with the top ranked team and going down the list, assigned each team the next division. (In case of a tie in points, teams can be sorted by team number, or randomly.) This system would assure every division is fun to watch and compete in.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Exactly what Shaun and I were thinking. We discussed this last season too. I think if a lot of us put out a word for this FIRST will respond because this idea makes sense.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

i agree 100% with you. I was just talking with a friend about something simlar to your idea. Your system is neater. My idea was to do it off one of your reagional rankings (seeding).

shaun

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

I love the idea Tom, but i doubt FIRST would do something as slightly complex as that is. They seem to like to take the simple ways. I also think alot of teams/individuals wouldn't agree with the ranking idea because sometimes teams get lucky or go to an easier regional or more regionals, and all sorts of things like that.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Hey we'll never be in a division with 190., 192 or 195.
FIRST aint changing it for nuthin'. It aint broke so they aint fixin' it.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

It might not be broke, but it is very lame, and very dry.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

I was hoping for a straight up Random drawling of divisions

Just completely randomly paired

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Id agree with you there, but you would get complaints saying that some divisions were walkovers, and some were impossible...basically, not enough parity.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Corey,

How about these divisions...

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Archie is looking pretty nasty as of right now.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

The first division looks really boring. You would need to distribute more well known teams into it. :rolleyes:

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

That first division (Archimedes?) looks greusome.
No way, Jose.
Needs to be more balanced than that.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

That's all i need to see...

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

I would assume there would be many teams crying the day those divisions would be announced.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

You mean not all of them would?

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

I could not be happier with those divisions. I say, if you are gonna win, you want to beat the best, not take the easy route.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

I think you should rename those divisions to

IRI Curie Galileo Newton

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

That's quite funny but true.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Ive made the corrections to the list on the first page
980s back in Archimedes ;)

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

And Newton

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

As long as you've left out 492, your list is wrong. :)

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

I just looked at the list of registered teams for the event. How do you check which division you're in? or did you just take them in numerical order and sort them?

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Divisions aren't officially released till the week before Atlanta. But this sorting is the way that it has been done for the past couple years.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Yeah...in the revision archemedes is absolutely stacked...the original divisions were pretty even, but i'd give the toughest nod to newton...i hope they randomize it, but I know they won't

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

What if they randomize it within each block of 100 team numbers? Put teams 1-100 in a "box" and "draw" them out. Then do the same for 101-200, 201-300, etc. It could easily be computerized.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

archmeides was stacked, the division championships would be tougher than Einstein.

What if it worked out like
A C G N
1 9 16 22
4 11 20 25
27 38 45 48
33 40 47 49
59 65 67 70
60 66 69 71
74 85 87 93
79 86 88 108
ect. ect.

Basically 2 teams go to Archimedes, then 2 to Curie, then 2 to Galileo and then 2 to Newton. This way you'd get to see some teams that are side by side without completely stacking the competition like Karthik. (notice how he had all the Niagra FIRST teams in the same division)

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

This is how i see them in order of Toughness

1. Newton
2. (Tie) Curie
2. Archimedes
4. Galileo

But who knows about that, it's the beginning of week 2 and it's Atlanta, anything can happen.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

That fourth division looks pretty stacked...granted they all do, but the fourth one (whichever it's named) is going to be intense.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

I like a challenge. :cool:

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Big shocker there ;)

Good luck in Vegas

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

How do you come up with the divisons and how each team is rank for it.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

The last few years FIRST has just counted them off

Archimedies Galileo Curie Newton

1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8 etc.

So thats how were coming up with these divisions ;)

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

someone please tell me who its so hard to pull 1-4 out of a hat for each team and set a limit for x amount of teams per division??? how long would it take to write a VB or java program that did that??? an hour or two!?!?

GET UN LAZY FIRST!!! =D

* i mean hell ill make the app!!! *

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Ummm, why? What makes that better than the current method? No need to overcomplicate a simple problem -- and this method guarantees an even mix of older and younger teams in each division.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

well so would the new way really *not over complicate things*... it would also allow teams 121 to face teams like 122 and 125 in nationals... and teams like 25 to face 27 and 33...

honestly its you make a program that says give # 1 2 3 4 --> XXX teams that are competeting in nationals an a b c or d in random order and once this many # of a's hits xx then stop giving out that letter... not hard... not random... and it would work for endless seasons to come since its randomly generated just like thier match lists... =D... easy...

so yes it would be meaningful and no it wouldnt over complicate things...

i think i answered everything =D

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Like FIRST is really concerned about things like that.
All they care about is getting the divisions out not appeasing the whims of some teams to work with other teams ( if it's really that big a deal dig deep in your pockets and go get in whatever regional they're in). FIRST has no reason to change the system so they won't. It's not even worth argueing about.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

hey at least this way you can kinda scout nationals

shaun

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

I don't like the fact our team will never be in the same division as 174, 175, 176, 178, 179, 180 no matter what happens. These are the other UTC sponsored teams and I would like to actually have the opportunity to be located in a close pit to them and compete with/against them. We always have 173 (Rage another UTC team) next to us but I'd be willing to give that up for some variety. Particularly 179 and 180 who are down in Florida and we never get to see up here in NE. Theoretically, right now we can only conceivably ever play each other in Einstien!

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

I still want them to bring back the 02 style of the 5 team chunks. It allowed me to find out about other teams plus with this format you do end up with the same teams year after year.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

that idea scares me.....

is this how they have done the divisions EVERY YEAR?

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

This might involve a little work but...

How about ranking every team by the average amount of points they have scored each match they have played. In the case of a tie use something like number of wins or the flip of a coin to break the tie. Then the highest ranked team by this process goes to Archimedes, the second to Curie, the third to Galileo, the fourth to Newton, the fifth to Archimedes again, etc.

This ensures that each division is about equal (more equal than the current method), and ensures that a different assortment of teams are in each division, each year.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Is it just me or are the teams currently listed in a bit of a random order on the FIRST site?

http://www.usfirst.org/frc/map/index...list&event=CMP

A division sort from that list may fix the issue of teams never getting to see the three teams on either side of them. Though Murphy may see it as the perfect opporutunity - fixing one problem will cause three new ones.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

What are well known teams?? :confused:

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

In my opinion, if you can recite their name and number then describe their robots from other years, then they are a well known team.

But aside from that, I really don't mind how FIRST does the selections for divisions. I have never really seen a need for splitting up the divisions further and doing more complicated selections. But as someone said above, they could just do it as when teams sign up.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

This one would be very interesting because a.) 1114, 1503, and 1680 (I wonder if they like being called the "Triplets"?) will all be in the same division, and b.) we'd be there with them.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

I like the current split because it puts us in Galileo. We like Galileo. See 2001 and 2004 if you don't understand. :D

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

What do you think about having 6 divisions (including einstein)?

I have an inkling. :yikes:

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

But how do you structure Einstien then? How do you determine who competes in the play in? We aren't seeded in that sort of way.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

(I changed my original message, I think it'd have to be 6 divisions). But if you had 6 divisions, you would have 6 winning alliances that go on to play for the final championships.... It could happen.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

1747 - Harrison Boiler Robotics qualified at Boilermaker and will be in attendance. Not sure when the registration/payment went through though.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

If they were going to do that why not make it 8?

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Available space? We know the dome has space for 5 right now, and I think there's a 6th spot open and waiting......(not sure where FLL and VEX will be crammed to though)...
Plus if 8 fields, with roughly 300 teams (maybe more), you'd have "relatively" small divisions... which could be nice... but... i think space is more the limitation.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

You can put a field in each end zone. Boot Vex and FLL to the pits and that'll be the fifth field and Einsitein would be number six.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

yes there is probably room for it but lets think what it would take to make a few more fields.

1) fields - they already have them this year with 8 regionals
2)Field people - more skilled people to run the field
3)field reset, cuing, refs - another whole set of refs for each additional field
4) more radio channels - i think that the IFI system can only support 30 teams running at the same time
etc.

For every additional person they need down there they need to provide a t-shirt, food, etc.

The more fields you have the less time you have in between matches, would you really like to make that 15 min walk from the pits to the field every 30 mins?

and the real reason they should never do it is because they will take away our conga line space

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Yeah but remember seconds after that happened FIRST in their ultimnate Killjoy vibe offically banned having Conga lines on the championship field.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

I'm a little unsure how 5 or 6 divisions would work for the eliminations. As far as i know, you need powers of 2 to make the current system work. An odd number could be downright painful...

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Oh yeah. We started that. :)

(Thanks for the friendly reminder.. I almost forgot that happened!)

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Well, maybe the 6 aren't necessarily all for FRC. I suppose it's possible 2 of the fields are used for FLL and VEX. But, I'm not a fan of having 80 teams per division. Sigh.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

is 33 going because there not on the list you just posted last
shaun

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

I feel stupid asking this, but what is Einstien? Is it some kind of division?

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

There all fixed. 33 Included.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Yes. There are four divisions at the Championships: Newton, Curie, Archimedes and Einstien. Each division plays like a regional.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

The four divisions are Newton, Curie, Archimedes, and Galileo. :)

Einstein is the fifth field where the division champs play for the finals.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe prior to 2003 (or maybe 2002) the four divisions rotated through the Einstein field, so they had five fields in use instead of four, and could fit more matches in.

~Allison

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

whoops, my bad...
I'd switched Einstein and Galileo.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

You are right. The total number of teams was smaller. Teams played in their division, but could be on different fields, including Einstein out under the big partial dome. Fans had to move around to see their team compete.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

The main reason I hate watching FIRST at Disney.
The park was awesome but FIRST has definately improved when it comes to the actual event and unless Disney sudeenly builds a 60,000 seat domed stadium with a 2,000,000 square foot convention center attatched to it I really see no reason for them to ever go back.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Einstein was also it's own division (now replaced by Galileo).

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

When Steven Hawking dies...do you think his name might make a fifth Division?

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Why does he have to die first? There is no law saying you can't dedicate something to a living person.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

I think we'll see Da Vinci first... he might serve VEX rather than FRC though.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

If I remember correctly DaVinci was the name of the FVC field last year...but they could always change that around.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Did you notice that the Poofs and Johnny Five (254 & 968) are in the same division on that list? You might get to see at least one set of twins team up in Atlanta.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

hey, does this include all the pending teams. because most likely. they should get in.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Nope.
When they sign up I'll put them in.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Oh god, duck and cover :ahh: lol, our division is pretty scary as of now.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

so the last set of regionals are over, any idea when the Championship Divsion Team list will be coming out?

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Probably not for a week or two. teams who qualified this weekend still have time to sign up, and teams who are currently signed up can still submit payment.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

All of the regionals aren't over yet, Las Vegas is still in QF (time zones make it easy to watch the finals)

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Everyone keeps speaking about 4 divisions, but if you go to http://demo-first.blogspot.com/ it shows 6 fields in the first photo. I've never been to championships, so I was wondering what the other 2 fields are for (practice maybe?), or is this a hint that there will be 6 fields?

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Yep, theres six. 4 for FRC divisions (Galileo, Newton, Curie, Archimedes). 1 for FRC finals/FLL competition (Einstein) and one for FVC (Da Vinci).

My PVC Pirate-eth post!

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Ahh I feel your pain, man. We've got both 254 and 968. 121, 69, 229 and 1126.

At least we don't have to worry about any of the NiagraFIRST triplets or 494 and 70.

Re: 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Well, here's my list...it's including all the registered teams, pending teams, and all the teams who qualified from week 5 regionals. I know some of them might not get to go, but...what else was I supposed to do, I want to know what our division's going to look like!! :p
