Oh I didn't intend those rankings to be a *true* ranking of the teams.
I just wanted to show a few teams that were already putting up big #s in the practice matches. Putting up #s in practice matches is a very good sign, as most teams are still working out the kinks at that point. We'll see at the end of today how those teams I picked yesterday did today...

Also ETC only looks at qualifying matches, I was just curious if I used it to measure practice matches what the outcome would be. I also figured there wasn't much harm in saying check out a team. Where as come day 3 if you say a team is a good team, your metrics better be pretty certain of it.

I am working on a little algorithm to act as a alliance selection aid. Obviously accuracy would be much more important at this point than in the case of a heads up.

I think the #s are very important, especially after looking at FRCTop25, in which team 217 is very low ranked, where I would pick them over almost any other team (except 1114).

PR tends to swing the view of many people, having a good number to reference may make teams, that are less visible rise to the top.

Also as it differentiates between minibots and robots, it would help to pick a team thats a better match for your alliance. Again this would be used in collaboration with scouting information.
