Re: Top 5 teams for your state over the last 4 years
With some less than conclusive responses earlier in the thread, and more than a little personal bias of my own, I'll throw up an NY list that includes as much objectivity as I can, yet still ends up feeling narcissistic.
1) 20
In the 2012-2015 period, 20 accrued 4 regional wins, 2 regional finalists, and a trip to Einstein. Whether you prefer a different team or whatever, 20 had the best results in that period of time. Was also in championship eliminations multiple times.
2) 340
340 won FLR and Buckeye in 2012 and TVR in 2015, and made it to the finals of FLR 2014 and 2015. 340 also accrued a number of well-deserved Chairman's awards in that time, and is regularly in the conversation for the Championship Chairman's Award. Was also in championship eliminations multiple times.
3) 1507
1507 won FLR and Buckeye in 2012, and FLR in 2014. They made it to the finals of the 2013 Buckeye Regional as well, and made championship eliminations multiple times.
4) 1796
1796 won NYC in 2015, and SBPLI in 2013 and 2012. They were unfortunately not selected in championship eliminations during this time.
5) 3015
3015 won Buckeye 2012 and FLR 2015. They also made it to the finals of FLR 2012, Virginia 2013, FLR 2014, and the 2015 Newton Division. In addition to their 2015 Division Finalist run, they were selected for eliminations at the championship in 2014.
There are a number of deserving teams right below this- 1511 has multiple Chairman's Awards and one regional win, 329 has two regional wins and multiple EI awards, 1126 has an event win and a finalist showing. 694 consistently builds solid machines and sometimes wins Chairman's. Some other teams have experienced infrequent success, with 5254 and 263 having breakout seasons in 2015, 334 in 2014, 229/4124 having two regional wins between them over the past 4 years, but being unable to find that consistency, and 2791 having bittersweet 2012 and 2013 seasons.
But by any objective metrics I can think of, the above is the top 5 teams in New York for the 2012-2015 period. Take it or leave it.
