Re: toughest regional in 2011?
Isn't that disproving his point though? That's an example of more powerhouse teams making a regional harder to win.

The 469 statement applies to the usual suspects who always make it to Einstein. Most of them don't say much of anything on CD they just build excellence and silently wait to deploy their creation on the unsuspecting masses come competition time when it's too late to do anything about it.

Re: toughest regional in 2011?
In my opinion, there are two different definitions of toughest when it comes to a regional. Level of difficulty with teams, and level of difficulty in regards to winning the competition.
Teams: A tough regional in this case is one with a lot of powerhouse teams, Midwest in this case. It is not necessarily difficult to win in the regional, as there is a lot of variability when it comes to elimination matches, considering a good sum of the alliance will have at least one alliance. Competition: A tough regional to win is a regional with about 2-3 powerhouse teams, assuming your team is average. It will be very likely that one of the powerhouses will become #1 seed, and its also very likely that that team will choose the other powerhouse team. I am not saying that this will happen every time, but it is a likely possibility. $0.02 |
Re: toughest regional in 2011?
This ought to be an interesting year.
2056 is registered for 3 regionals for the first time. The rookie sensation, thats by no means a rookie anymore is on their quest to make it the drive for 11 consecutive regional wins, winning every regional they've ever competed in. They're looking to join that small but powerful group of teams that have won 3 in the same year. 2010 GTR represented their 8th time at the top of the podium since their first time there in 2007 at Waterloo. Can 2011 FLR, Waterloo and GTRWest be numbers 9, 10 and 11? We'll have to wait and see. I'm excited for this year as its 1075's first attempt at 3 regionals in one year as well. We will be attending FLR, GTREast and Waterloo. Waterloo will be tough to win. With 1114 and 2056 scheduled to attend, and the disappearance of strong teams like 1503 and 1565, its difficult to predict anything but either 1114 or 2056 seeding #1 and selecting the other. That being said, the 3 robot entry from one school in MI could be interesting (teams 216, 244, and 288) |
Re: toughest regional in 2011?
I dunno - Waterloo still has 1305, 1310, 2200, and 2609 to mix things up. It'd take one hell of an upset to get to the #1 seed but it could happen.
