Re: 2015 Divisions Stats for Pre-Scouting

May I ask how this data was generated? Are you normalizing the points with respect to the number of matches played? Otherwise, direct comparisons on absolute point values would not have much value.

Even if you were to take (total component points)/(matches), it would be hard to draw comparisons between teams between events due to the difference in the number of teams at an event, difficulty of schedule and average scoring ability of alliance members. For instance, you'd expect average scores to be higher for a District Championship than your average regional because those teams have already been selected to that event based on their performance. This means that absolute component point values would be higher for a robot attending a DCMP vs. if they were in your "average" regional.
