Yes, it looks like the final posted rankings include elimination match results. I recalculated my team's QP average using the match results shown on the FIRST site and got the same result that FIRST posted.

But in the process I found something else. It appears that FIRST recorded the semifinal result for our alliance incorrectly. The scores posted are correct, but the teams are not. Match SF1.1 is shown as having been played by 770 and 1005 on the Red side, but the actual Red teams were 770 and 931 (my team). Our alliance's score was very low in that match, only 3 EP.

By attributing the low score to 1005 instead of 931, FIRST makes 931's QP average too high and 1005's too low. 931's QP average is shown as 120 but should be 110. 1005's QP average is shown as 97 but should be 106.

If the error is corrected, 931's QP rank will decrease from 6th to 11th, and 1005's QP rank will increase from 21st to 15th or higher (because there are two other teams shown with 106 QP averages.)

My team wants the error corrected, since it would not be fair for us to benefit from a higher QP rank than we earned, nor is it fair for 1005 to suffer for a lower QP rank than they earned.

My questions: (1) would the differences in QP rank that result from correcting FIRST's clerical error cause any change in the way that teams 931 and 1005 are seeded at the Championship?

(2) does FIRST provide a way to report clerical errors like this?

and (3) has anyone else noticed a clerical error in regional QP rankings?
