Re: Ideas to move in the direction of making FIRST competitions 'fair'

I did have enough time to make a scatterplot of team performance.

As you can see, a team's 2005 performance has almost no predictive power in terms of their 2006 performance. Teams that came in the bottom 10% in 2005 went as high as the top 10% in 2006. This is using the 51 teams that went to GTR in both 2005 and 2006. Based on this, going to a divisions setup makes very little sense.
