Question: Championship Divisions
 
When are the Championship divisions published.

I can't wait to see who were up against.

Re: Question: Championship Divisions
 
Not until the week after all regionals and the Michigan Championship.

FIRST needs to allow all of those qualifying teams to register, and fill the field with waitlist teams.

Re: Question: Championship Divisions
 
In 2002 through 2004 the divisions were released the Tuesday 9 days before the beginning of the championship. That ended up ranging anywhere from before the last regional ended (2003) to 10 days after the last regional ended (2002).

In 2005, the divisions were released on a Monday, 10 days before the beginning of the championship (9 days after the end of the last regionals).

In 2006, the divisions were released on a Friday, 13 days before the beginning of the championship (13 days after the end of the last regionals).

In 2007, the divisions were released on a Wednesday, 8 days before the beginning of the championship (4 days after the end of the last regionals).

In 2008, the divisions were released on a Wednesday, 8 days before the beginning of the championship (3 days after the end of the last regional).

What about match schedules? Are they released prior to the Championship or is it like the Regionals-you get it the day of?

It's released during the Championship. Not prior, unfortunately.

Ok, I'll open the can of worms. Where are the division prediction threads/TBA page?

Of course, any predictions are going to be horribly inaccurate because the Michigan State Championship is set to inject a guaranteed 18 new teams (in addition to the 25 already registered). These teams should have a variety of numbers that will really mess with the 1-2-3-4 scheme. Minnesota will have some impact as well, but those teams are largely high numbers and some are already registered (and they dont pass on the qualification like FiM). Plus, after all this is done there should still be wait list spots. On a side note, wait list teams did pretty well last year with an Einstein Finalist (348) and a Xerox Creativity award (1771).

Oh well it is fun to see the predictions anyway :D

All match schedules are generated the afternoon / evening before the actual schedule taking affect. Wed. generates Thur. Matches, Thur generates Fri & Sat matches.

Its is not a guaranteed 18 new teams. 18 from the state championship will earn a spot to Atlanta, but some of them could be teams that have already registered.

No, they rerun the rankings after the State Championship (multiplying by State Champ points by 4 to give it a 2/3 weight). If one of the teams that earns a qualifying spot for Champions is already registered or can't attend, they offer it to the next team in the ranking (making 18 guaranteed new spots). I am pretty sure this is how it works but I can't confirm because I can't access the Michigan Rules Supplement today (for some reason I get a 403 forbidden error).

I'm not complaining, the more qualified Michigan teams at Championship the better for the level of competition. A high number of points after 2 (3) District Events and State Championship is good enough credentials to me, better than wining some regionals. Even with those 18 teams, there were more a few MI teams at championships last year. I truly want the best level of competition at championship which is why it is a shame when good teams can't qualify (like 40, 330, 968, 1153, 1279, 1391, 2068, 2199 off the top of my head). Unfortunately, the Michigan point system cant be easily ported to regionals for a variety of reasons, and obviously we can't just subjectively pick team that are good but didnt win a regional.

None of that was really my point. I was just saying that those 18 teams MI teams (with their variety of numbers) make it difficult to predict divisions early, which is not actually important. MN teams tend to have high numbers (amazing growth in that area) so they will not shift divisions that much and some of the teams are registered already (like 79, 93) that cant pass off their qualification (goes to waitlist). There are 310 teams registered now and with 30 more qualifiers (18 MI + 12 MN) we can get up to 340 teams like last year without waitlist teams. If some wanted to, they could make some good predictions Sat night if there are no waitlist spots (no preregisters MN teams qualify) and they went through the FiM rankings to find who would be invited.

So I had not really followed the Michigan district plan much until now. Guaranteed 18 advancing teams plus any that won at outside regionals or recieved an open bid.

Hijacking this thread a bit here, so why would other high FRC team number states not want to adopt this pilot program for their state? Michigan has 132 teams, New York 122, California 145, Texas 91 ...

As of 1:30 CDST April 2nd Texas has 13 registered with maybe a couple more finding the cash to pay for their winning bid by Friday. So maybe it is a non-issue. Texas has 2 regional events as of this year so without a team(s) winning both that gives 3 champions, 1 Chairman, 1 Engineering Inspiration, 1 Rookie All-Star at each for a dozen teams guaranteed to World Championship if they are all Texas teams as we do have several veterans who like to come to Texas for some strong competition.

What are the con's for adopting the Michican district model?

[...]

What are the con's for adopting the Michican district model?

California has more regionals than MI did (4), but all the teams are concentrated in 4 places (2 for all you folks who don't know CA geography very well--they're farther apart than you think): Los Angeles, San Diego, the Silicon Valley, and Sacramento. There are pockets in other areas, namely the central coast, home to 973 and 1388, and the desert areas. (Not sure if 399 goes with the L.A. grouping or the desert grouping...)

However, the teams already play each other almost exclusively. L.A. doesn't get many out-of-state teams (other than 188, 1726, and 69--the only repeat out-of-state teams I know about in recent years), but is always full. SVR and Sacramento are more of the same. SD gets more, but not very many. To put it frankly, you'd pretty much be doing the same thing as normal.

The question is, where are you going to put the districts? If you split each regional into two, you get 8 district events in 4 areas. And then you get the MI UP dillemma: Do you leave the district zone and go to Vegas (or Oregon, or AZ), or do you travel to your closest district event (which requires staying overnight)?

The only way to make the district system work in California would be to also include Nevada and Arizona. This is to avoid the MI UP dilemma (as now Vegas is in the district area, and AZ, which supplies many teams to Vegas, is as well) and give a bit of a "buffer zone". But now you need more districts, maybe about 10-12, and that increases costs. And where on earth do you hold the "Zone" championship? How about the number of qualifying teams?

Con #1, though, is the district system is still "buggy" in some respects. The point system is the notable one, though that seems to be working (mostly). But, before the district model goes nationwide, I for one would like to see the pilot program run for one more year with changes to verify that any bugs are out.

It may be that the district model only works in MI, but certain aspects like event format can work elsewhere. I'd like to see the parts that work implemented nationwide, but the parts that don't work removed.

The one big negative I see is that teams outside the region are not allowed to participate in any of the district events. A smaller negative is that teams inside the region are strongly constrained in their ability to participate in other regional competitions.

As a member of a team with a strong goal of visiting new places and meeting new people, I would find those restrictions uncomfortable. Whether or not the reduced expense would make up for it is a matter of debate.

Yup, 1717, 1388 and us are all central coast (Santa Barbara through San Luis Obispo approximately). If district events were made, we'd have to stay overnight anywhere it'd make sense to have one. If they made one at the central coast, if it was near 1717 we'd have to stay overnight, and vice-verca. Not to mention all other teams attending would have to stay overnight.

The only Pro I see for the district event (to my specific team, not evaluating the program as a whole) is going into champs with WAAAAAAAAAY more matches than everyone else.

Jon Jack 02-04-2009 19:56

Re: Question: Championship Divisions
 
IF the district system did go nationwide, it would probably look very different than it does now. For example, what about smaller states like Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska, Montana? You can't run a district system in a state with 3 teams, can you?

I would imagine larger states like CA, MI, TX, etc would become their own district systems and then large groups of smaller states like the ones listed above will become their own.

The western region would probably look something like:
  • CA
  • Pacific Northwest (WA, OR, ID, MT, AK)
  • Southwest (NV, AZ, NM, CO, UT)

Each group would have their own district systems until the need for district realignment came up.

No full practice day at venues.
Events with an "off-season" feel (though team spirit of a regional).
A complete restructuring of the infrastructure.
More volunteers needed.
Not a viable option in most states/regions.

Last time I checked there were more than 3 teams in several of the states listed. Does the rest of FRC not see what we do up here? Sometimes I wonder...

Obviously Oregon has more than 3 teams. I think you guys have one of the biggest growth rates in FIRST since the 2006 season. I wasn't trying to say that Oregon only had 3 teams. However, the 28 teams in Oregon are not enough to do a district structure. I suppose you could do a very small state championship, but most likely I could see places like Oregon (28 teams), Washington (49 teams), Montana (4 teams), Idaho (9 teams), Alaska (3 teams) and the Dakotas (5 teams) being lumped together into one district system.

IF districting went nationwide, FIRST isn't going to leave the smaller states like MT, ID, AK, ND and SD out in the cold. This means that at least in the beginning they will be lumped with other states.

However, I think this thread should be returned to it's original topic.

I think they alternate. Some years Serpentine is used and some years the normal one is used. As to what one will be used, your guess is as good mine.

Re: Question: Championship Divisions
 
If I remember correctly, the last few years have been A,B,C,D,A,B...

However TBA has it set up, it's still pretty far from being settled. There are still 12 teams from the MSC that have yet to receive invites, as well as 12 teams from the two MN regionals this weekend. I imagine there are also several teams that will get their payment in at the last minute and be added to the list.

It was ABCD in 2008, but not in 2007. 2007 used a different formula.

They have never used serpentine for all of the teams. However some say that odd pattern in 2007 was inspired by serpentine pattern.

I am now wondering how many teams will be at CMP this year. There are currently 320 teams registered and 30 more can qualify tomorrow. Hopefully the field will run smoothly for all these matches

They do that for a very limited number of teams (like 348 and 1771 last year) that join after the list is out. The list in 2007 was very different (out of order) when it was first posted.

Re: Question: Championship Divisions
 
When's the latest time for the teams who just qualified to register? Do they have to do it at the event, or is there a certain window?

If they have to do it at the event, does that mean the list on TBA is pretty accurate? Assuming FIRST uses that algorithm of course.

Typically, Tuesday after the event. There's some leeway so they can verify they have/can raise the funding.

no, those were not the divisions from last year, that is the predicted for this year. However i did make a mistake, 1114 is not in Galileo

Just for fun, I did an AAAA, CCCC, GGGG, NNNN, etc. sort on the current team list. Doesn't seem like too bad of a distribution of talent:

Would be interesting to clump together some of the old corporate teams. Do you think that is even remotely possible this year?

Not knowing anything about FIRST's rationale for divisional sorting, I suppose anything's possible. Consider this my pitch for seeing something like this - I would love seeing the other Delphi 40's in my division.

Including the honorary ghost of Team 46....

How many teams did you use? That showing is different then what the TBA is showing as the prediction?

TBA shows 323 teams (which will increase over the next few days, no doubt). That's the list I used......again, for FUN.

Re: Question: Championship Divisions
 
Any periodic sorting should give a nice stackup of teams in each division. This is due to two factors:
1) there is no correlation between team number (mod 4) and effectiveness.
2) there are a LOT of impressive teams this year

That being said, I hope we end up somewhere other than Newton, but only because it is the furthest field from the pit, and it takes a LONG time to walk all the way around the dome every time.

Actually it's second closest. Archimedes is furthest followed by Curie, Newton and Galileo

I've changed the script to color teams who have won three or more events solid red. Team 67 was messing things up.

The red outline doesn't standout enough to me, could you highlight them another way. Maybe a blue back ground?

Ya I know we're going and that will move almost everybody. We qualified at the MI State championship.

Re: Question: Championship Divisions
 
its not that big of a change you'll only move every body after you one space, every body after you will still be together in the same divisions as they were before you signed up.

Fun Historical Fact:
The sig bar used to only display 4 events. It was modified to display 5 after 1114 participated in 3 regionals, a division, and made it to Einstein last year.

So if they win a Division, they'll break the bar. You might want to look into giving it the option to display 6... And I thought it was 217 breaking the bar.

FIRST: We don't raise the bar, we say "What bar?" as we go through it.:P

MI rankings are up!

Can anyone add the Auto Qualifiers from MN, MI, and Atlanta nominees 1-15 (65 won and is included as #7, should take 14 total) as from the FiM rankings and make a speculative Division prediction list?

P.S. Sorry to The Suspects (team 440) for a typo in my last post in The waiting list thread listing 410 not 440 as qualifying. Congrats on your EI award and spot at Champs!

Ok since no one made this list, I made it myself. I added the 24 Week 6 qualified teams (down to #20 Team 226 on the FiM Rankings). By the way, 440 and 2834 were the 2 teams that added today to get the list up to 325. Here is the list:

Looking over in Archie seeing the possibility of 67 and 2056 getting together should scare everyone too death.

or worse 2056 67 and 1918 together. that would be trouble.

Re: Question: Championship Divisions
 
I've got my fingers crossed that the 233 and 365 remain in the same division.

We should sit together during practice rounds and see if the robots really can track our jerseys from the field.

OMG! If the predictions on TBA come true with the "normal" selection, 67 and 217 could go for another reunion tour :yikes:

I'm hoping that the Curie division stays the same so that my team, 1519 and my brothers team 1058 can stay be on the same field.

Historically, they have always come >1 week before the Thursday of Nationals. Thus, they probably are due within the next few days.

This is going to be a lot of fun! Good luck to all teams.

Jared Russell 07-04-2009 10:39

Re: Question: Championship Divisions
 
As of right now (329 teams), 67 and 217 will be together regardless of algorithm.

Lets just hope team 100 decides to show up for Atlanta so that 67 and 21 dont end up in the same division lol

why isnt 100 already signed up for atlanta anyways?

Because they didn't win a regional?

Re: Question: Championship Divisions
 
There are several VERY scary combinations that can come out of Newton according to TBA.

The teams that jump out at me:
39, 67, 111, 179, 148, 217, 368, 399, 973, 1114, 1332, 1538

If everything stays the same, it should make for an interesting finals.

FIRST says 336 teams are registered, TBA still shows only 329....

Getting close!

Re: Question: Championship Divisions
 
Actually, you might be surprised about that. Every alliance has a weakness, you just have to know how to use it to your advantage.

At West Michigan, the top two ranked teams were together and everyone thought they would be unstoppable. But they ended up losing.

Whatever happens, the winners will be the ones who had the best strategy that went according to plan.

Holy moly. Things are going to be interesting. 67 and 217 are together no matter which algorithm is used *happy dance*. The other divisions look pretty scary as well. I CAN'T WAIT!

Anyone from 65, 201, 326, 818, 1918, 2188, 2470, 2500, 2549, 2620, or 2771 want to update us on their team plans? If 201 doesnt attend 67 and 217 are likely together. The next team "on deck" in the FiM rankings is 66 and that could really break up the murderer's row that begins Archi, sending half of them to Curie.

Haha...Atlanta is going to be anybody's game. There are so many talented and diverse teams that are going to be attending, it awes me every time I go. I can't wait to see what everybody is going to bring to the table. HOT isn't silly enough to think that we're unstoppable....or are we? :P

346 teams, the number of teams already registered or qualified in Week 6. I think it make sense to atleast even out the division with 2 teams from the wait list (although they probably will be tacked on after divisions are released) The teams I listed in the bold sentence asking about their status are qualified, but unconfirmed. 818 should be a replacement for 910 as next on the list, unless I'm misunderstanding FiM rules. 226 just registered and they were directly ahead of 818 on the list.

Patience is a virtue...........................we shall find out soon enough. :)

My only hope is to finally be in the same division as 368 as we have never been all these years. So far, so good. Would be nice to have 25 also (which it was), but it looks like we all moved when 65 entered.
