Re: 2007 St. Louis Regional
 

I'm compiling a list of Rookie Awards and the Highest Rookie Seed was awarded to 2177, the Visitation Blazers. According to the team results section it looks like 1985 Robohawks finished prelims with a higher ranking. Does anyone have the reason that 1985 was not given the HRS? Does it have something to do with 2177 playing 8 matches while 1985 played 9?

The 9th match didn't count.

Thanks!

To expand on IndySam's comment -- we played eight qualifying matches per team in St. Louis, but due to an error in the match generation algorithm several teams played unnecessary "surrogate" matches. Results of those extra matches were used to calculate the standings reported on the FIRST site (under Regional Events) but that was incorrect. Correct seedings as defined in section 9.3 of the 2007 FRC Manual were calculated manually before we proceeded with the eliminations, using the results of each team's first eight matches.

Oh my! I always wondered how they counted the matches when the number of teams wasn't divisible by 6. And now I know!:)
