Re: [FRCTop25.com] Week 1 Results Broadcast LIVE tonight!

I feel its kinda arbitrary to discuss how the rankings come out in the end due to the fact that not everyone is a scouting master. We have to understand that the results are subjected to what "hot" regional is being watched for that week. Regional broadcasts although absolutely amazing to have, don't always focus on every single robot in a moment of shine or trouble its up in the air on what voters see unless they are at that regional.

The question of is 1477 better than 118 and 148 and should be higher? Results say yes they are, but in the top 25 they are ranked lower than others and we ask why their performance on the field says so they came out the victor right? There also is an alliance that also helped them #Cutthenet because no one team can make it with out help, so why some of these teams on the list?

Its a lot for one person to consider when voting that I just think most people don't have the time to look at fully so it some what does become a popularity contest. I think its our job as viewers and educated "firsters" whom do pay attention to every detail to make note of these things during chat of the show, but at the end of the day it is a public poll so people will pick their favorite teams that they have seen or know by rep.


Good show this week interested in this weeks play and future play throughout the season good luck all teams competing in weeks out.
