Average Scores in Finals
 

after going to the Autodesk Oregon Regional i noticed how hard the elims were and how high scoring they were so i decided to average the scores per alliance in the finals and then did the same for some other regionals for comparison and this is what i got:

69.4375 - Autodesk
67.5357 - Waterloo
61.8438 - Finger Lakes
41.2059 - Cascade
35.3056 - Olympic

the Autodesk was the highest for the regionals i looked at, even though Waterloo had a score of 150 at one point. The teams in the Autodesk regional were very evenly matched and it made for a great finals to watch, best regional i have ever went to.

I have to agree, this may have been one of Oregon's best years (at least over the past 4). There was a large quantity of top-tier teams, a strong grouping of autonomous capable robots and some pretty powerful alliances.

It's fun to watch as regions grow over the seasons and watch as teams develop into strong competitors. It's always so much more fun to watch close matches, where teams score the same amount of tubes and it leaves everyone standing for the minibot races.

Midwest's Avg is 82.25 [EDIT] Why did I get different data than Mark? I grabbed the Midwest data from the site and summed all the scores and divided by 32 in Excel. Midwest did have FMS issues.[/DATA]
MSC will probably challenge that number, but otherwise I think it is safe till Champs. Also you have to consider at Waterloo, several alliances focused on stopping #1 alliance instead of scoring themselves.

Re: Average Scores in Finals
 

Can we just say the the average score of the number one alliance at waterloo wins? I believe their average was well over 130.

Re: Average Scores in Finals
 

I get 138.67 (above the previous high score) for #1 at Waterloo. You probably will not see dominance like that again this year.

Re: Average Scores in Finals
 

It was neat to see 1114 and 2056 revert to using the feeding LANEs instead of tossing tubes across the field to foil would-be tube thieves from stealing their logo pieces to prevent them from forming logos.

Teams remember: you only need to steal 6 of your opponents tubes, and push them into your LANEs to prevent your opponents from making even a single LOGO. (Example: RedAlliance HPs do not throw out ANY white circles. RedAlliance ROBOTs quickly steal the white LOGO PIECES thrown out by BlueAlliance HPs, and shove them into the RedAlliance's LANEs.)

Warning: The opportunity cost of taking the PENALTY associated with entering the opponents LANE (3 pts) is worth it for all 6 LOGOs, however, for the bottom row LOGOs, you lose 3 pts in PENALTIES to gain 4 pts for a completed LOGO, yielding a +1 point gain.

My recommendation: Jam 3 of their white tubes into each of your LANEs, and then park a ROBOT in front of them.

Re: Average Scores in Finals
 

Its possible next week that an 1114/1503 alliance could be similarly dominant in GTREast.

Re: Average Scores in Finals
 

Just did the math. 1114/1503/1482's average in GTRE elims was 127.6. Its 11 short of 1114/2056/296's 138, but still seriously impressive.

Re: Average Scores in Finals
 

What would the average elimination score of the finals at MSC be?

Re: Average Scores in Finals
 

100.9736842

Re: Average Scores in Finals
 

Well I guess that just quantifies what I saw at MSC this year... amazing finals. Pittsburgh seems pretty strong for a week 2 event. Looking forward to seeing a real regional this year! =)
