2010 Regional Stats
I like to play with spreadsheets and thought I'd take a look at Regional field performance numbers. So far FIRST seems to be meeting it's average goal of 10 matches per event. Large events have fewer matches, while small events have more.
The worst so far has been the Israel turnaround (~13 minutes/match on average) with all of their unique communications problems. The best so far has been the Oregon Regional at a few seconds under 7 minutes per match. Anyone think of other interesting statistics to track on an event basis? Code:
# teams # matches Matches/team Match cycle |
Re: 2010 Regional Stats
I remember seeing Seattle and Oregon on the top of a simular turnaround list last year. It seems like the Pacific Northwest has some great volunteers that really know how to work the field

Re: 2010 Regional Stats
Coincidentally, I've been doing the same thing today.
I've broken down the turnaround times by day section on the qualification matches. For a normal regional, session 1 is Friday morning, session 2 is Friday afternoon, and session 3 is Saturday morning. Code:
Week-Event------------------------Session 1--Session 2--Session 3--OverallLooking at this has also changed my opinion of Kansas City for the better. As an attendee and volunteer, it felt like we were way behind all day Friday. When you look at the statistics like this, we were attempting more matches than any other regional so far and maintaining a very good match turnaround time relative to the rest of the country. :] |
Re: 2010 Regional Stats
Can you factor Israel out of the average?

Re: 2010 Regional Stats
Starting six matches behind can really make you move quickly... Arizona's Session 3 is including a double-length field reset due to the field router going down suddenly.
Speed demons: Session 1, Kansas City; Session 2, Florida; Session 3, Arizona; Overall, Oregon Arizona started slow and gained pace in the afternoon. About 3:15, the inspectors finally finished, so I wandered out to watch a few matches. I spent the rest of the afternoon following the FTA around with a stopwatch to tell him when extra speed was needed in a reset. Did that Saturday morning, too, and the speeds went really high--one of the queuers told me there was a 5-minute turnaround. Then I had to go inspect some more (we started elims inspections at something like 10:30-11:00). |

Re: 2010 Regional Stats
This week's results show some improvement.
Silicon Valley & St. Louis both beat the best average time set by Oregon. West Michigan seemed to be very regimented and liked to start matches exactly on the minute mark. they stayed almost right on the schedule pace they set for themselves. Overall averages include previous weeks results. Code:
# teams # matches Matches/team Match cycleThose should show marked improvement too. |

But anyways, this just shows how fast you guys are out west :) Constantly turning around matches minutes faster than many of the other regionals! |

I did field reset at Dallas, I'm glad we're on the lower end of the spectrum. :)

I got fooled because match 82 was replayed at the end and I just looked at the last match #. That also brings the match cycle time down to a little more than 9 minutes. On a par with Utah. |
Re: 2010 Regional Stats
Here's the update with week 3:
Code:
Week--Event----------------------Session 1--Session 2--Session 3--OverallSt. Louis looks to have gotten off to a very fast start, with the current record for Friday morning and Friday afternoon, but no one has approached Arizona's speed for Saturday mornings yet. Virginia also ran a couple of matches Saturday morning before what I suspect was a break for the opening ceremonies. I didn't count the time across opening ceremonies, since that is not remotely under control of the field crew. I saw the same thing on New Jersey when I was doing my initial analysis and handled it the same way. New York might have done that, but there were two morning delays and I couldn't guess which one to discount (if anyone who was there can tell me, I'll be happy to update the averages accordingly). |

The field problems continued on Saturday. I cannot blame the field staff; they were the ones trying to fix it. Although not as bad as some other regionals, I did notice people who came in off the street to watch were put-off by the delays and walked out. When FMS finally failed and they went to hand-scoring, and then went with only 2 representatives for most awards, I knew they had pulled out all the stops in an effort to minimize the effects of running so very late. (several ties in the semifinals didn't help either) I'd love to say "Why can't FIRST make a more robust FMS", but that would be doing a disservice to everyone: The FMS is actually quite good, but I think that we're still stressing it further than it can handle sometimes. I don't know the architecture (Windows?) but perhaps they will redouble their efforts on robustness next year. |
Re: 2010 Regional Stats
The West Michigan regional was incredibly well-run. I suspect the average would have been even better than it was, but the field shut down for over 40 minutes because someone was running their N router in the pits and it was preventing the teams from connecting to the field, so they stopped running matches.

While I wasn't volunteering in an official capacity this weekend, and only attended the regional on Saturday, I have worked with most of the volunteers at the event before. They are some of the hardest working and best volunteers I've come across, and are typically great at solving field issues (VCU was a week 1 regional until last year). We're lucky that VCU is so supportive of FRC, and the delays were taken in stride by the VCU employees (unlike the crews at some other venues). |

We eventually worked out a process to solve this link problem: We first ensured all driver stations were linked, then allowed robots with new radios to power up and link, then booted all remaining robots with old radios. After we figured it out, this longer and time consuming process worked most of the time, but we still had to restart the FMS router periodically. We began keeping track of teams using the newer radios, and used this process in each match they competed in. We ended with 7/63 teams using new radios (about 11%). Those 7 teams cycled through about every 10 matches. Time between matches without new radios ran about 6.5 minutes, matches with new radios of course ran longer. |

Re: 2010 Regional Stats
Here's another way to look at it all.
This focuses on the number of matches overall which is a risky gamble for an event. Guessing how many matches you'll be able to do before you've started and found what problems teams and the field will have is a real challenge. Code:
------------------------------- # teams ---- # matches ---- Matches/team |
Re: 2010 Regional Stats
despite the fact the numbers dont indicate it, palmetto was a very well run regional. since there were not a large number of teams, teh intentionally made the time between matches longer, in order to make sure that everything ran smoothly.
and ps: only ONE real field delay at palmetto:eek: |

Interesting stats Mark. Now I see why Barat felt comfortable moving into the FTA position at SBPLI. 48 teams with 11 matches looks pretty darn good.
From the statistics West Michigan looks like it was well done too. |

Re: 2010 Regional Stats
Here are the average combined Qualification & Elimination match scores by event (blue + red alliance score).
Elimination scores were usually much higher of course. The trend is that later events scored higher than earlier events, especially in the Qualification rounds. District events where the majority of participants have now played twice really demonstrate this. Practice makes perfect. These are just straight scores including penalties. It doesn't include any of that co-opertition score or extra 5pts for the winners, etc. -----Avg----Avg Wk-Qual---Elim ---- Event 4 --- 10.3 --- 15.2 ---- Troy District 3 ---- 6.5 --- 14.7 ---- Silicon Valley Regional 4 ---- 6.8 --- 14.5 ---- Los Angeles Regional 4 ---- 6.6 --- 13.1 ---- Boston Regional 1 ---- 6.2 --- 13.1 ---- Kettering District 3 ---- 8.0 --- 12.9 ---- Detroit District 4 ---- 9.0 --- 12.8 ---- Philadelphia Regional 2 ---- 4.4 --- 12.7 ---- Cass Tech District 4 ---- 9.9 --- 12.5 ---- Waterloo Regional 1 ---- 5.6 --- 12.5 ---- New Jersey Regional 3 ---- 6.1 --- 12.3 ---- Midwest Regional 3 ---- 9.1 --- 11.8 ---- West Michigan District 4 ---- 6.0 --- 11.8 ---- SBPLI Long Island Regional 1 ---- 5.1 --- 11.8 ---- BAE Granite State Regional 3 ---- 4.9 --- 11.8 ---- Dallas Regional 5 ---- 6.6 --- 11.7 ---- Sacramento Regional 3 ---- 5.6 --- 10.9 ---- Virginia Regional 2 ---- 6.5 --- 10.7 ---- Florida Regional 4 ---- 6.2 --- 10.7 ---- Hawaii Regional 2 ---- 7.0 --- 10.6 ---- Wisconsin Regional 2 ---- 5.7 --- 10.6 ---- Chesapeake Regional 2 ---- 4.7 --- 10.5 ---- Arizona Regional 2 ---- 5.2 --- 10.4 ---- Ann Arbor District 3 ---- 7.3 --- 10.3 ---- Boilermaker Regional 1 ---- 5.2 --- 10.2 ---- Greater Kansas City Regional 2 ---- 7.3 --- 10.0 ---- Pittsburgh Regional 1 ---- 5.6 ---- 9.9 ---- Finger Lakes Regional 4 ---- 5.8 ---- 9.7 ---- Buckeye Regional 4 ---- 4.8 ---- 9.7 ---- Oklahoma Regional 4 ---- 4.5 ---- 9.6 ---- Microsoft Seattle Regional 3 ---- 7.4 ---- 9.4 ---- St. Louis Regional 4 ---- 4.3 ---- 9.2 ---- Colorado Regional 4 ---- 5.9 ---- 8.7 ---- Palmetto Regional 2 ---- 3.7 ---- 8.7 ---- New York City Regional 1 ---- 4.5 ---- 8.4 ---- San Diego Regional 1 ---- 3.3 ---- 8.1 ---- Peachtree Regional 1 ---- 4.5 ---- 7.9 ---- Autodesk Oregon Regional 1 ---- 4.4 ---- 7.9 ---- Traverse City District 2 ---- 4.5 ---- 7.8 ---- WPI Regional 3 ---- 4.4 ---- 7.2 ---- Utah Regional 2 ---- 2.6 ---- 6.3 ---- Israel Regional 1 ---- 3.8 ---- 5.7 ---- Washington DC Regional 1 ---- 4.2 ---- 5.3 ---- Bayou Regional P.S.

Michigan State really proved that practice makes perfect. Every team there had at least two prior events under their belt and the Qualification scores were quite high.

Re: 2010 Regional Stats
Better late than never, here's my update including weeks 4 and 5:
Code:
Week—Event----------------------Session 0--Session 1--Session 2--Session 3--OverallTo keep the naming conventions consistent, I've dubbed the Thursday afternoon session at the Michigan State Championships as Session 0. There was an anomaly in the North Carolina data in which match 23 shows a start time two hours after the last other match concluded Friday. I've given them the benefit of the doubt and discounted it from the averages, but I'm very curious as to the story there. On the whole, the week 4 and 5 regionals put on a very strong performance, in terms of turnaround time. Troy District turned in another precision performance with every reset at 7 or 8 minutes. Seattle broke Arizona's half-day record by 3 seconds per match on Saturday morning, those regionals being the only two to maintain an average below 6 minutes for an entire session. Thanks to all the queuing and field crews across the country who have done their best to keep things moving. Good luck Atlanta volunteers! |

Re: 2010 Regional Stats
One last note...
I related this year's event match turnaround and scores with previous year's. A jump in #matches offered to teams while the # teams per event has stayed fairly constant. Championship match cycles are understandably lower, since everyone (drive teams, field staff) have experience in the new yearly game. Einstein scores are typically much higher than those seen at early events. Scores are per Alliance. Code:

Re: 2010 Regional Stats
It looks like you used the average single-alliance score for all data points but Einstein in 2010, where it looks like you used the sum of both alliances.

Re: 2010 Regional Stats
It looks like I forgot to divide all the scores by 2 for 2010. I'll go through them and fix those in a minute.
Thanks. |
