With that said one of the reasons we brought back the 'expert' poll to help balance the geographic inconsistancues. Does this cover 100%? Absolutely not but it does help balance this.

I certainly hoped that you voted and filled out the sheet correctly. Some people do just like 5-10 teams and then put in fake teams or try to manipulate the system in other ways. We catch 95% of it and have a program set up to do so and then I personally manually check it after.

Healthy debate is great but no matter what there is always going to be somebody to pour salt or complain. Remember this is for FUN and not officially recognized through FIRST.

So either have fun with it or don't. We hope you do and contribute to the FRC Top 25 and enjoy content that is being provided. It is the goal of our show (and of GS) to provide engaging content that will get more of the FRC community involved. I am delighted to hear your feedback and the show will continue to evolve

Thank you to all those who watch.

I don't fill out any top 40/25 sheet because I have no clue how to do that accurately too many slots open to personal bias on teams who's # you remember from last year.

Why not shorten your list to top 10 world wide in current year + top 10 in your events area each week of those you actually witnessed to get a better accuracy then meld the two lists together for a top 25/40?

A 25 slot list is not ideal because no one really has a clue how to accurately fill it out. I think lists of 10 people can handle better with less "historic" bias.

You might actually get a better top 40 list as swayed by popularity ratings. Experts have bias too.
