Division Predictions/Reactions
Because the FRCTop25.com chat room was surprised there wasn't a thread about this yet.
Start your meaningless fantasizing now! I'm guessing you can start splitting up the teams once the team list reaches 348.... I'll post the standard ACGN sort after 348 teams are confirmed. |
Re: Division Predictions/Reactions
as far as I can tell the list is at 348... is it just that it is not confirmed. I am anxious to see what we are up against...

There are now 348 teams on the CMP list. Keep in mind the payment deadline is tomorrow, but anyone on the CMP list already had to commit to pay the event fee in some manner by now in order to appear on the registered list.
So back to the pointless speculating... Dividing the teams into alternating Archimedes, Curie, Galileo, and Newton divisions and then sorting by Average OPR (as calculated by OPRnet) within each division leads to the following completely baseless, not founded on any truth whatsoever, possible, maybe, not really, just forget about it and wait until the real ones are announced, divisional breakdowns: |

Its giving me an error when I try to open it up in excel.

Re: Division Predictions/Reactions
Newton looks pretty challenging...

Re: Division Predictions/Reactions
this years theoretical Newton reminds me of how everyone called 1114 being on the same alliance as 469. I call 1114 and 148.

Re: Division Predictions/Reactions
is WildStang better than Robowranglers? Tough call. At least 1511 and 191 may get a chance to work together again :)

(not saying 177 would fall that far, everybody would want them and we all know why) |

Re: Division Predictions/Reactions
Travis,
thanks for doing this!! Is there any way you could do a serpentine version of this? Does anyone remember what they have used in recent years? I know for many years it was the simple 1,2,3,4--5,6,7,8---9,10,11,12... From my recollection a couple of years ago it went to serpentine... 1,2,3,4-- 8,7,6,5 ---9.10,11,12 --- 16,15,14,13... I honestly can't remember what was done last year... thanks again!! Bob |
Re: Division Predictions/Reactions
Last year there was either no pattern or it was complex enough that nobody was able to crack it - the assignments seemed pretty random.

It was probably given to them from NASA from the aliens so we'd quit predicting the divisions before they release it. |

Re: Division Predictions/Reactions
Could you imagine if each of them picked their own alliances? OMG that would be the greatest quarterfinals ever

The divisional balance is far, far more skewed out of whack with serpentine than with the standard sort. I kinda liked the standard sort myself. But again, this is all a pointless exercise! |
Re: Division Predictions/Reactions
How about instead of doing the divisions with the 348 teams that are in, do a divisional breakdown with the top 348 OPR teams and then see how the divisions would breakdown with the same sort you did the first time.

I wonder if FIRST even considers sorting like this. Attachment: |
Re: Division Predictions/Reactions
You didnt do it with the top 348 teams with the highest OPR
|

I think what you are suggesting is just a bit too unrealistic, even for this thread, because teams staying home with higher OPR's than CMP participating teams are still not going to attend the CMP this year.... I leave anything else as an exercise for the reader. :cool: |
Re: Division Predictions/Reactions
:D Oh man... If somehow that was our actual division...
|
Re: Division Predictions/Reactions
I prefer the first attempt with 111 and 3132 in the same division. No real reason, just a strange personal bias. :)

FAKE Galileo looks like the place to be.
JVN, Bill Beatty, Amir Abo-Shaeer, John Novak, ... that's a lot of awesomeness, just in a quick glance near the top of this FAKE list. Oh yeah, and in FAKE Galileo you can pick 67 or 469 .... |
Re: Division Predictions/Reactions
A 349th challenger appears.

Re: Division Predictions/Reactions
if these divisions were real... i think we all know where the crowd will flock to... especially if serpentine... can first just have a team IFI division plus the rookies? that might just balance out their average opr...

Re: Division Predictions/Reactions
All Pokemon jokes aside, there is an extra team in there... strange... maybe the Black Eyed Peas aren't performing but they are going to be a drive team! There are 4 of them :)

Oh, and its a good thing they went to night to switch fields. Could you imagine the awesomeness flux of the above group having to switch fields midday? any team using a Gyro would likely have to re-calibrate. |
