Re: Standardized District Point Model

As a member of the NE FIRST point model team and without naming names (because it would be a diservice to them to have them personally under the scrutiny of this community and added pressure and possible inundation of PMs) I have seen the list and I am completely confident in the abilities of each and every committee member. They represent all 4 current districts, 2 districts "to be", WFAs, CCA reps as well as FIRST staff.

Just for a point of reference, we in NE, during our discussions, ran several iterations of our point model (based on 2010 Karthik scouting data) and the differences in outcomes were minimal. (The columns in the spreadsheet were labled FiM, MAR, NE 1, NE 2, NE 3 so we could see changes real time) In other words, the top 20 teams, regardless of algorithm, stayed top 20, the middle 20 stayed middle 20, the bottom 20 were the only ones effected. And that effect was 7 or 8 teams dropped out and 7 or 8 teams got in. There was movement within each sector, but the general rankings stayed pretty consistent.

Hang in there, the road may be rocky, but FIRST will be better coming out the other end.
