Re: Canadian SUPER Regional

I realize FIRST is trying to keep the ratio of elimination round teams to non-picked teams the same, but IMO the ratio could go down.
Well...64% of the teams at the Canadian regional went to the elimination rounds. The regionals had an average of approximately 47 teams. And with an average of 25.85 teams going to the elim's (because of the canadian regional), the average percentage of teams making the elim's at regionals is 55%. The canadian regional is one extreme, while VCU and GLR were the other extreme with only 38.7% of the teams making the elim's. If the Canadian regional only had 8 alliances, then 32% of the teams would make the elim's, which would be very close to the 32.9% of the teams at nationals that make the elim's. While the percentage for the regional with 8 alliances is much closer to nationals, the percentage for 16 alliances is much closer to the average for the regionals (which does not include nationals). I was going to make a conclusion out of this information, but after typing it all in, I seem to have lost that conclusion among all the numbers...so there is just some statistics to chew on.
