Re: the IndyRAGE - Robotics All Girls Event
With the small number of teams (14) we modified the alliances and playoffs a little.
We played 2 v 2 with a 10 minute cycle time to allow time between matches for repairs, discussions and planning. The slower cycle time was a benefit with so many "new" drive teams and volunteers.
After qualifications, the top 7 ranked teams pulled their alliance partner from a hat, to form 2 team alliances. We then played 7 matches so each alliance played twice, an the top 2 alliances then moved to Finals. Finales were best 2 of 3.
The top 7 Alliances are below.
1 2826 - 461
2 5188 - 234
3 1024 - 829
4 4103 - 3940
5 1501 - 2781
6 3494 - 1529
7 4926 - 1720
For the finals, Alliance 1 and 2 advanced for a best of 3.
Alliance 2 (5188-234) won match 1, Alliance 1 (2826-461) won matches 2 and 3 to be Champions.
For awards, we had "Host / Judges" who spent time with the teams, about 30 - 40 minutes talking with a goal of the Host learning about the team, and the team learning about their host (all professional women, most in engineering / technical roles).
Awards

Thanks to Perry Meridian High School for letting us host this event, to all of the volunteers (many who were new to FIRST), to the PMHS Dad's Club for doing concessions, and to all of the teams who took a chance on a new event and new event concept. We had an awesome time.
