The team names were obtained through the Karthik's white paper here:
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/p...gle&paperid=490 which includes teams going to nationals and their names, any team not listed was obtained through the website listed on usfirst.org or the school name.
All match information for UCF and Palmetto was obtained through first hand accounts of the regionals. For the Southern California and Arizona Regionals students attending sent us the data, and Chief Delphi had a post for Finger Lakes. Finally all other regionals were obtained from the Offical USFIRST.org site. We are aware that some data may be faulty, but it is as accurate as we could be with the limited data sets. This is not a "be-all-end-all" method of scouting, and neglects many many factors of a robot. This is a way of relatively ranking one team next to another to determine some strength attributes, and should only be used as such. Please don't turn this into "We are ranked higher than you, so we are better than you", it places no emphasis on external factors, and looks at win percentage / strength of schedule / and margin of victory to relatively rank teams competing. There are far better methods and procedures for determining this, and we at 1251 encourage you to develop your own systems and share them here on Chief Delphi. The more scouting data and representations of team performance the better we all will be at scouting. Use this as just one more tool in your arsenal.
