Re: [FRC Blog] Frank Answers Friday: Championship Slots
My proposed solution is three-pronged: - Replace Finalist alliance position with district points for Wildcard distribution. The Stand Points Model was created to be an ideal assessment of team performance, so it seems perfect for this. This creates a system that can scale to include more than three teams, including those not on the Finalist alliance.
- If a team declines a CMP spot, pass a wildcard down the district points rankings until all spots are filled.
- Distribute extra Wildcard slots, which I call Bonus Slots, to large regionals. It seems silly to me that the 31-team Waterloo Regional and the 66-team Palmetto Regional qualify the same number of teams for CMP. This can be done by awarding the remaining "waitlist" slots to regionals based on the number of teams attending minus a certain value, which I used 40 for. While this doesn't create a strictly geographic distribution, it would be a much better approximation than the current system.
I put together a Google Spreadsheet demonstrating my proposal.
