Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Shortening and bumping to the last page for quick reference. Also adding in the competition-season drafts (State/Region Championships and the World Championship Divisions). Duke, can you verify availability for the next couple of drafts, or is someone else going to need to step up?

December 30th--One drafter needed (Duke461 possible)
Northeast Utilities FIRST Connecticut Regional
Niles MI FRC Qualifying Event
January 1st--One drafter needed (Duke461 possible)
Dallas East Regional
Dallas West Regional
January 2nd--One drafter needed (Duke461 possible)
Seattle Cascade Regional
Seattle Olympic Regional
January 3rd
Oklahoma Regional
Livonia MI FRC Qualifying Event
January 4th
SBPLI Long Island Regional
Mount Olive MAR FRC Qualifying Event
January 5th--One drafter needed (EricH possible)
Silicon Valley Regional
Troy MI FRC Qualifying Event
January 6th
South Florida Regional
Queen City Regional

Sometime in Competition Week 6/7--Date TBA
MI State Championship
MAR Region Championship
These two events need to be filled before the drafts start; no District events take place after Week 5.

Weekend before Championship
Division Drafts
The only non-random draft orders in the entire schedule--unless the State/Region Championships are done by current standings--and the divisions need to be filled as much as possible before drafts start on those.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

I can run on those 3 days. Now, will i be doing both drafts each day, or will there be 1 other person?
EDIT: Nevermind, i know the answer to the above question.

Ed, which drafts will i be doing (besides Niles of course)?

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Team Shoelace has missed the last five drafts and will be receiving a warning PM from me tonight. While it's great that they helped out when we needed fills ins for the drafts the rules are the rules and they are still required to attend the drafts. It would not be fair to make an exception for them because they helped out.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

There is a new waiver list out, and I've got a really strong hunch there'll be quite a few claims for one particular team on it... in Alamo.

There is a possibility scheduled downtime throws off our schedule a little bit.
We'll have to see what CD has in mind and adjust to it.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Sorry about that, I was out of town and Nick was out sick. We'll be back in force this week and for the rest of the season.

I don't know if I'll be able to run a draft on 1/5 like I thought I would be. There are a number of other factors in play that I hadn't accounted for.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

I can run on 1/5.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

And that's a wrap!

Regular-season drafting is over. 92% of the league survived (one boot, two warnings). So, that brings us to the last six drafts of the season, which will be scheduled as we get closer to the events they represent.

Sometime in Competition Week 6/7--Date TBA
MI State Championship (Week 7)
MAR Region Championship (Week 7)

Weekend before Championship
Division Drafts (Archimedes, Curie, Galileo, Newton)

Some notes before you all start work on your robots:
1) Waivers will remain open until events start. If you see a new team on an event list, put something in the waiver thread or PM me and I'll post it. I will be cycling the waivers tonight; there should be a couple of teams available, but not many.
2) Teams do drop out/change events. While I can go through the list looking for and reporting missing teams, it is ultimately each playing team's responsibility to make sure that they have 3 teams that they want in each event. Missing teams once the event starts are replaced randomly!
3) All team pools remain open for trades until locked. Some may have "waivered" teams that aren't on waivers or the removed player; those teams should be considered to be in the pool (and if someone wants to place them there, I won't object).
4) The team list is posted! http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2619

All right, enough notes. Get ready... get set... Hey, wait, the Kickoff broadcast hasn't started yet! Start on time tomorrow, not early!

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

would you guys like an excel version of all events with teams, 3 teams and events?

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

That would be most appreciated but be aware rosters could change alot between now and the events.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

ok

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Cody, before you do:

See that nice little link I put in my last post? Yeah, that one.

I have it already posted. If you guys can't read it, I can put another up in the old Excel format (I have Excel 2010, IIRC.)
It's a long job to do, so why do extra work if you don't have to?

And, just to make sure that the link gets posted: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2619

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

This is a heads-up: We have ONE MORE EVENT! It seems that those pesky multiplying Michigan teams have added another district without informing the rest of us other than the listing in the regional/district page.

The event is the Gull Lake District, with 20 teams registered at this time (9 rookies), Week 1. As this is kind of a sudden change, I would suggest drafting Gull Lake the weekend after ship date to allow more teams to register.

Also, it has come to my attention that 359 has pulled out of Utah (Koko Ed needs to repick).

I will be going through the team lists over the next few days to try to find missing/added teams; I'll try to keep the volume of teams on waiver at any one time down to manageable for everybody. (This may involve shorter waiver periods.)

Speaking of waiver, 3003 is available in Finger Lakes, and that waiver closes Saturday, midnight EST.

Quick note: If I've noted a trade/waiver claim going through in a thread, but you don't see it on the team sheet in CD-Media, don't worry, I just haven't updated that one yet. When I do start updating, I'll post the last update date.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Some notes from waiver-land:

A bunch of teams have added in to Week 1 events. Full list is in the waiver thread.

I'll be going through the team lists for a while to find adds and missing teams. While I do that, I'll be running a faster waiver cycle, two per week with smaller groups of teams.

Speaking of missing teams... Untouchables are missing 3074 in Granite State, and Koko Ed is missing 359 in Utah (team source says they're out). So far, those are the only teams missing that were picked and haven't been replaced.

I've decided to include opt-out. If you don't want to make waiver claims at all, drop me a PM. You'll still be allowed to make claims if you choose to later (say if you find out that 1114 is showing up or something), but I'll assume that if I don't hear otherwise, I can go right ahead and skip to whoever is the first one on the list to not opt out.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

On my trip down through the lists of attending/missing teams, the following have teams missing:

Koko Ed, 359 (Utah)
B.O.T, 87 (Chesapeake)
1676, 4004 (Traverse City)

Oh, and there's a fresh batch of teams on the waiver, with claims due midnight Saturday.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Waivers have been processed. Sacramento got a huge influx of teams (probably some of them registered in Central Valley first), and there's quite a few good ones.

The missing teams (surprisingly few):
Chesapeake: 87 (B.O.T)
Utah: 60 (CircuitRunners), 359 (Koko Ed), 3207 (ProgramLuke)

As a reminder, any missing team not replaced by the time drafts lock is replaced by a random team before scoring starts.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

The missing team list is still growing...

Dodar lost 2449 (Arizona) due to that team being picked twice.
Ed is missing 359 (Utah).
B.O.T. is missing 87 (Chesapeake) and 1923 (Virginia)
ProgramLuke has had 3207 (Utah), 4381 (West Michigan), and 3069 (Detroit) disappear.
1676 has lost 3945 (Virginia) and 3398 (Detroit).
And Shoelace is missing 903 (Detroit).

A fresh batch of waiver teams has been posted.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

And still growing! Palmetto got hit especially hard.

Dodar (2449 Arizona, 2151 Midwest--both double picks)
191 X-Cats (359 Utah)
B.O.T (87 Chesapeake, 1923 Virginia)
ProgramLuke (3207 Utah, 4381 West Michigan, 3069 Detroit, 2353 Colorado)
Flippin' the Greatest (375 Hawaii, 4074 Palmetto)
1676 (3945 Virginia, 3398 Detroit)
Untouchables (1379 Palmetto)
CircuitRunners (4360 Palmetto)
Nemesis (2969 Hawaii)
Falcon (3344 Palmetto)

There's a fresh list of waiver teams--quite a few decent ones in Palmetto.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

I obviously knew that everyone else was going to lose teams and i wasn't......somehow....:rolleyes:

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Hate to say this, but you are missing 3 teams.














The three teams for the Gull Lake event, which hasn't drafted yet!:D
(Plus any others I pick up during the next couple of waiver sessions.)

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

FYI: The waivers for this week have been posted. There are some pretty good teams out there this week; take a look. There are also a number of teams that have gone missing. That information is also in the waiver thread.

Gull Lake: This weekend is when that draft should take place. At last count, 36 teams (13 rookies) are listed as attending, with no open capacity. I don't know for sure when the draft will be, however.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Ed, when did you want to run Gull Lake?

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

I'll do it Sunday night @ 7pm.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

In that case, I think I'm going to need to move up the waiver deadline a bit.

I was going to have the deadline there the night Gull Lake ran, but due to lots of teams, and running low on time to finish the remaining set, I'll take waiver claims (new and updated) up until midnight EST Saturday night. The next waiver will be up in time for anybody picking in Gull Lake to take a break and look at the available teams.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

There's 36 teams for Gull Lake but to be fair I'm gonna do two separate drafts.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Something I need to say:

Through Week 5, which is as far as I've gone with the checking for new/missing teams (which leaves the six Week 6 events), every single playing team has at least one missing team, myself included. Flippin' the Greatest has the most, with six missing teams (second is a tie with 5 teams--ProgramLuke and Koko Ed). Dodar only has one missing team... but came up on the short end of two double picks. I'm the only one with one (missing a team in Mt. Olive).

That was the bad news. The good news? None of those missing teams are in Week 1 (besides the ones being drafted in Gull Lake Sunday night). Only one (B.O.T, Chesapeake, 87) is in Week 2. This means that all players have time to make changes before the lists lock. Once the lists lock, you get a random team. If you make a change before then, you get to pick your replacement team, even ensuring you get them off of waivers.

I will be posting a full list of teams needing replacement here when I run the waivers this week.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

OK, I lied. I figured I might as well finish up hunting down missing teams. Expect a very large waiver to show up on Sunday.

Don't shoot the messenger!

Missing teams:
Dodar: Arizona 2449 (DP), Midwest 2151 (DP), Dallas West 2345, Lone Star 2158 & 3795
191 X-Cats: Utah 359, Niles 1 2000, Queen City 234 & 1018, Toronto West 3173, South Florida 1543, Las Vegas 3849 & 4358, North Carolina 832

Falcon: Mt. Olive 3553, Lone Star 4116
CircuitRunners: Dallas East 1811, Troy 2834, Central Valley 2085, North Carolina 3174

P.S. The good news is, nobody lost an entire alliance. I've seen that happen before.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

The final waiver before events begin has been posted. It's a large one, with claims due by the time lists lock.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

I've updated the scoring sheet with the current alliances. Red cells denote missing teams; orange cells denote double-picked teams that need to be swapped out. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2619 (make sure to grab the one that says "Updated"--it's an older file format so everyone can read it).


I'm going to repost the missing teams list, just to make sure the lists are the same in both threads. Falcon and Nemesis cleared their lists; Shoelace and Dodar made some progress.

Dodar: Arizona 2449 (DP), Midwest 2151 (DP), Dallas West 2345
191 X-Cats: Utah 359, Niles 1 2000, Queen City 234 & 1018, Toronto West 3173, South Florida 1543, Las Vegas 3849 & 4358, North Carolina 832

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Cant re-pick if none of the drafts are on the list

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

It's about that time again. Time to start locking the lists.

Week 1 events should be considered locked as of now; see the most current scoring sheet posted for your teams. All other drafts are still open to trading teams or replacing missing teams.

Scoring may be a bit slow this year. I've got something that will keep me mostly off the computer for a week. If someone wants to jump in and do the team scoring, I'd be most grateful (and will be more than happy to point you in the direction of some past methods if you so desire).

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

There are no waiver teams; waivers are now closed and all unpicked teams after Week 1 events are free agents. Have at them.

The missing teams list:
Dodar: Arizona 2449 (DP), Midwest 2151 (DP), Dallas West 2345
191 X-Cats: Utah 359, Niles 1 2000, Queen City 234 & 1018, Toronto West 3173, South Florida 1543, Las Vegas 3849 & 4358, North Carolina 832

Untouchables: Connecticut 2265, Troy 4399, Vegas 3011

Basic warning, when you're taking a team to fill a hole, make sure they're listed as attending on the FIRST site. I might not have gotten them marked as absent earlier.

See you all when scores are posted, or in the MAR/MSC championship drafts!

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Hey, guys; I'm working now on the rough scoring so far for Week 1 (excluding for the moment the Israel Regional).

Question for you guys: Would you guys want teams earning Coopertition points getting 1 (or maybe 2) FF points per coopertition point?

-Kyle J.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

While ultimately I think the decision is Ed's, I want to say yes. If we award points for wins and ties, we should award points for CP (both being factors that go into seeding). I would suggest 1 FF point for each CP? Reasoning: 1 to 1 makes winning and coopertition equal, which how the game works. On the other hand, post-drafts may not be the best time to change how scoring works.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Sounds good to me.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Raw scoring by regional for Week 1 in Fantasy FIRST. I have not calculated for each FF team their own individual FF scores, just in case of errors.

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2647

-Kyle J.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2647

Newly updated with the scores from the Israel Regional!

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

I think you have the wrong team receiving the RCA in San Diego.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Fixed it; thanks for telling me. Updated file in CD-Media.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

I've got most of the scores ready to go; however, I need to a) replace 4 teams that didn't show up to the event and weren't caught earlier and b) get the elimination W-L-T scores added in (they weren't earlier).

Currently, it looks like there's a pack of 4 FF teams close together at 75-1005 points each, followed by almost everyone else spread out a bit, and a couple trailing way at the end in the 600-625 range. We'll see how that changes...

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

OK, dealt with the 4 missing teams from last week (and two this week) and figured I'd get this out here.

Note: I don't have the elimination W-L-T points figured in. They should be, but aren't. I'm working on it, but slowly. Once I get them all set, I will put them in.

That said, here are the Week 1 scores:

(Proving that #1 pick isn't always the place to be...)

Need Scoring Help
 

I need help.

Right now, besides factoring in elimination W-L-T records in Week 1, I have to do most of Week 2 and just about all of Week 3. I also have to concentrate on schoolwork.

So, here's where I need help: I need people to go through and score teams at events. It doesn't take very long to do an event; I'd prefer it if the pattern from http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2463 was used with an added column for Coopertition points, but I'll take just about any format at this point. You can email it to me at eric (dot) husmann (at) mines (dot) sdsmt (dot) edu

The events I need scored: Week 2, other than Orlando and Toronto East; Week 3, except Chestnut Hill (already taken care of), and the Week 1 elimination W-L-T records need to be added in.

If you decide to take on one or more events, it would be helpful if you posted which events so we don't double up on effort.

I'll be running through WPI next, then Los Angeles. We'll see how many more I can do.



Also, one note, more for Ed than for anyone else: 3789 jumped from Cascade to Olympic. Ed has first crack at them in Olympic, but will need to replace them in Cascade.

There are also a number of FF teams with missing or double-picked teams in Week 4.
Dodar: 2449 (Arizona) and 2151 (Midwest) are double-picked.
Flippin' the Greatest: 375 (Hawaii), 693 (Boston), and 3115 (Niles 2) are missing; 4074 (Palmetto) is double-picked.
ProgramLuke: 2353 (Colorado) and 2984 (Olympic) are missing.

Re: Need Scoring Help
 

Just replace the escapee with another random team.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Looks like I get to repeat myself.

I need people to step up and score one or two events, or more, or I'll never get done in time for the Region Championships (MI and MAR) and the Championship. And, with the Championship draft order being decided based on the points order from the regular season, not having the scores in in time means inaccurate draft orders.

So, here is what I need in order of priority:

1) W-L-T record for eliminations only from San Diego, Israel, Kettering, Hatboro-Horsham, and Gull Lake. I get those, I can finalize the Week 1 results (I've been finding some point jumps due to eliminations).
2) Full scoring for any district events after Week 1.
3) Full scoring for any non-district events after Week 1 other than Orlando, WPI, Los Angeles, and GTR-E.

Full scoring of an event should take about half an hour; the toughest part is digging out the elimination W-L-T correctly.

There also a few known missing teams from Week 5 events. I'll issue the reminders for those after the events finish tomorrow.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

I'll see what I can do.

Missing teams--Week 5
 

The following are missing teams in Week 5:

Untouchables: Connecticut 2265
Flippin' the Greatest: Long Island 287, Troy 3609
Awesome: Oklahoma 2773, Dallas West 2583
Dodar: Dallas West 2345
Shoelace: Livonia 4405, Mt. Olive 2234
B.O.T.: Mt. Olive 2559

If you're missing a team, I'd really appreciate it if you either replace them or tell me that you want a random early--the earlier you say "random", the earlier I can assign one and forget all about it until scoring.

Also, I'd appreciate it if people started looking at their alliances in Las Vegas--8 teams that were drafted are not attending, and one of the teams on the available list has dropped out as well. So if folks start looking now, it'll save us all a ton of time and trouble later.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

We'll take a random for Conn

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Random team assigned.

Quick note: If you're having trouble with the scoring template from last year, I got some help from MOE's league with scoring Chestnut Hill and Lenape. They made some suggestions, so I incorporated them into a revised sheet, which is posted at http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2655.

Also, any event is fair game to score other than the above-mentioned districts and the MI districts (taken by one of the league members). If you have half an hour to an hour, feel free to score an event that you like and send me the score sheets.

I will do my best to have the MI and MAR scores posted up before those areas have their championships (Week 7) so that everyone can see how their favorite teams actually did.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Yeah. Scoring the way week one was scored is taking waaaaaaaay too long. I just want to enter relevant information that actually affects coring, Not teloperated points, bridge points and hybrid points.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Random

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Anybody who uses the spreadsheet I posted last night:

The spreadsheet counts RI twice if given, and quality zero times. I will post an updated version later tonight to correct this; the reasonably astute Excel users can make the fix themselves (it isn't hard to do).

I've posted a corrected version. Now to finish scoring...

Scoring Status
 

Ok, here is the status on scoring.

With Week 5 wrapping up tomorrow, I've scored through most of Week 2, and a couple of events in Week 3. I've got one volunteer dealing with Michigan; I should be able to finish off MAR scoring tomorrow and post that as a spreadsheet during next week. Hopefully, the Michigan scoring will follow (or if that volunteer could drop Waterford my way, I can finish Week 2).

There's just one problem--well, two actually.

The easy one is, there are a bunch of teams missing in Las Vegas. Koko Ed, Awesome, Flippin' the Greatest, ProgramLuke, Shoelace, and Untouchables are all missing at least one team. If you want random, first one to speak gets the first random team. Otherwise, I get to sort that out during Week 6 scoring.

And the harder one: 7 events in Week 3, 12 events in Week 4, and 13 events in Week 5 are not scored. (It'll be 14 in Week 5 tomorrow, but I plan to take care of Mount Olive.) There will be a further 6 events in Week 6. And we still have to draft for MSC and the MAR Championship (Week 7) and the Championship itself (4 divisional drafts). And I'm still dealing with Week 1 elimination rescoring.

That said, I do have a quick scoring update for up through Week 2. Missing one event (Waterford) there, and bearing in mind that not all the Week 1 eliminations have been included, the current standings (without scores) are:

Flippin' the Greatest (Akash, Chris, XaulZan, JackS)
Falcon (EricH)
Nemesis (Dr. Theta)
CircuitRunners (ghostmachine360, Wing,iPenguin)
Dodar (dodar)
Shoelace (Basel A, Nikeairmancurry)
Awesome (Duke461, O'sancheski)
ProgramLuke (ProgramLuke)
1676 (Hallry)

Untouchables (Tyler Olds, EricLeiferman)
B.O.T (Cody Burd)

For a closeness indication: the top 3 are all within 120 points of each other and 200 points away from the rest of the pack. They've also pulled two consecutive weeks over 1000 points per FF team. The next three are within 70 points of each other, and have a 100-point gap to the rest of the pack.

Tomorrow, I plan to finish off the Week 1 elims and start in on Week 3 scoring. If anybody would like to help, drop me a PM or CD email with what event(s) you'd like to score. Scoring takes about half an hour per event, including scoring all the FF teams.

we will take randoms for any teams we are missing for any event that we are missing teams

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Scoring update: I've taken care of most of the Week 1 issues, and I now announce that the MAR scores are posted at http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2660.

As a reminder, MAR will need to draft sometime between now and a week from Wednesday, whenever the event is mostly filled. (Ed, did you have a date in mind?) MSC will likely be run at the same time.

Las Vegas: There are enough available teams to fill all the remaining holes. Barely. First come, first serve, otherwise I go by draft order. (I also discovered that Nemesis is missing a team there.)

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

I will take randoms at any events i have missing teams for.
Thanks!

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

I can't make a rock solid date til the team list gets posted.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Well, I can't issue the MI scores until I get them. *poke poke* Anyways...

I've scored Week 3, sans MI. (Week 2 is also sans MI; Week 1 MI elim scores are next up on my target list.) Again, no point values. But, the order is...

Flippin' the Greatest (Akash, Chris, XaulZan, JackS)
Falcon (EricH)
Nemesis (Dr. Theta)
Shoelace (Basel A, Nikeairmancurry)
CircuitRunners (ghostmachine360, Wing,iPenguin)
ProgramLuke (ProgramLuke)
Awesome (Duke461, O'sancheski)
1676 (Hallry)
Dodar (dodar)
Untouchables (Tyler Olds, EricLeiferman)
191 X-Cats (Koko Ed)
B.O.T (Cody Burd)

The top 5 are all over 3000 points; Flippin' the Greatest has a 200-point lead currently. But, 200 points in a matter of 3 weeks +3 events isn't all that hard to make up...and the #2 and #3 spots are only separated by 4 points.

Speaking of 4 points, I have been unable to locate the team for one of the Virginia Dean's List winners. If someone has knowledge of which teams had said winners, I would much appreciate knowing that information.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Was anything for Hawaii ever posted by FIRST?

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

At one time, it was. I'll try to get there via frclinks--the FIRST site seems to be down temporarily in that section, but frclinks gets through just fine.

FYI, Week 1 MI events have had their eliminations added in. No changes other than point spread. Hopefully I can get a couple Week 4 events scored later today, and keep going from there. (Maybe Hawaii...)

Edit: Nope, not Hawaii. Awards and match results are there, but not standings. If someone wanted to regenerate the standings, and more importantly the qualifying scores, that would be much appreciated.

Edit 2: Never mind! frclinks gets you to the awards and match results; the FRC site route gets you the standings. Hopefully they can get the rest of it working...

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

And, after a long afternoon of scoring during free time, I have one more week to do and I *might* be caught up. So, with Week 4 scored other than the MI districts, the current rankings are:

Nemesis (Dr. Theta)
Flippin' the Greatest (Akash, Chris, XaulZan, JackS)
Falcon (EricH)
Shoelace (Basel A, Nikeairmancurry)
1676 (Hallry)
CircuitRunners (ghostmachine360, Wing,iPenguin)
Dodar (dodar)
ProgramLuke (ProgramLuke)
Untouchables (Tyler Olds, EricLeiferman)
Awesome (Duke461, O'sancheski)
191 X-Cats (Koko Ed)
B.O.T (Cody Burd)

The top three are within 111 points of each other and just about 400 points ahead of everybody else.

Oh, and anybody who was at Buckeye: 228 can't have earned the Safety award due to not attending. Anybody know who did?

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Good news is, I'm just about entirely caught up! Just need those last few MI districts (and I might start tackling those too).

So, here are the current scores and standings and all that...

Note that these scores do not include any MI districts after Week 1, and I'm missing 1 Dean's List winning team in Virginia, 2 Dean's List winning teams in Washington, DC, and 1 Safety Award in Buckeye (14 points all told).

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

It was 2228, I was watching.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Well, nobody had 2228, so no changes to the scores.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Glad we're living up to our name. :)

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

OK, so I finished off Michigan. One more weekend, then it's drafting time again, with MSC and the MAR Championship happening in Week 7.

Your scores heading into Week 6:
You spoke too soon, Chris.

Michigan scores should be up later tonight, along with the full scoring sheet after I polish off distributing random teams.

Interesting trivia: the 5 weeks scored so far represent 2,886 individual teams at events. Some teams do multiple, some do single, but they're all accounted for.

Other notes: Some of the slots on the full scoring sheet will show a replacement team when I didn't announce any issues. In those cases, a team either failed to show up or was discovered to be a double pick during scoring. The replacement was the first team on the random list; in cases where multiple teams had to be replaced while scoring, I went in order of draft picks. Those teams will be in bold on a green background (once the sheet is released).

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Ok, scoring sheet for MI and for all the alliances is up. See http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2660

Note the teams in green background, bold text. Those are replacement teams called in for missing/double-picked teams.

So, here's how it works from here on out:
This weekend: Week 6 events play, Week 6 events end.
Later this weekend: EricH scores the last 6 regionals.
Sometime next week: MSC and MAR Championship have filled enough to do a draft. Team scores are already out for those.
Next weekend: Said events play out.
End of next weekend: Final scoresheet before the Championships along with a full team score sheet go up. Ditto for final standings. Elgin Clock, MVP, and Rookie of the Year are announced.

Sometime between then and the Championship, the 4 division drafts happen. Special order on those; they go serpentine starting in order of regular season standings.

After Championship: The winner is crowned. Note that the Championship scores (and therefore the winner) are independent of in-season scoring.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Looks like teams are signing up for MSC and MAR. I say let's aim for Monday or Tuesday (Tuesday might be better to give last minute teams a chance to sigh up)for the drafts. I'll take MSC you do MAR, Eric.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Roger that. Any particular order on drafting or do we go random like any other regional?

I can do Tuesday better than Monday, BTW.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Do you think there is any chance the standing will change? We could always use them as is.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

I'll tell you after I finish scoring Week 6! Should be done later tonight, maybe tomorrow--either way, in enough time to draft.
