It's actually (relatively) easy to find. Go to the FRC section of www.usfirst.org, click on "Regional Events" in the side bar, and then click on the regional you want. Match Results, Standings and Awards are linked at the bottom

(Assuming, of course, that the data would be meaningful to anyone not acquainted with the scoring system.)
To get to the proper pages on the web.
Goto the FIRST website, http://www.usfirst.org/.
Choose FIRST Robotics Competition on the top.
Then choose Regional Events on the left.
From that page, choose the event you want.

Match Results, Standings, and Awards links are at the bottom of that page.

Wetzel

EDIT: Nuttyman beat me to it.

Thanks, both of you!
I guess FIRST just added these links in the last day or two. The links don't appear for the regionals my team is attending, even though our first one (Arizona) is less than a week away.

I guess the page is generated directly from the scoring software. At VCU on Saturday the website was updated on within a minute of us saving the score to the database.

If the software worked so well for you at VCU do you know why the match results could be off at BAE? For instance, team 125's first match was #3, not #1 as the match results indicate.

1089 did not win the autodesk visualization award at NJ, so that is incorrect.

They won the website award, and either sportsmanship, or spirit award.

Right. 1089 won the Website Award and the J&J Sportsmanship Award.
I believe 1382 (from Brazil) won the Animation Award.

That's correct, and their animation was absolutely awesome! I've watched it like 10 times :)

it seems that this data is being changed still. at the competition, right before alliance selection, our team was ranked 20th. 6 hours ago we were ranked 13th. Now we (663) are ranked 14 :confused:

The rankings are not correct. Your win/loss is worse then the team below you.

Are your matches correct? http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/pa...le&paperid=487

Joe, I'm willing to bet that 1138 had a DQ in one of the matches that they "won."

Maybe they should include that data somewhere, so we're not so confused. this is in to way Wetzel's or any scorekeeper's fault, it's simply a change that should be made to the system

This is now two years in a row of such a discussion about the web rankings.

Is it time to ax the hatch?

KA-108 :cool:
