not a fair comparison...

Colleen,

The situation you discussed is not necessarily a fair comparison.

Don't forget that ALL teams would have had their top and bottom scores tossed out.

This means that you can't say things like '...it was only after a perfect score and a 432 in our last matches that we made it...'

I would venture that you would have made it because there could not have been very many teams with two scores above the 400 mark.

But even that is conjecture.

Unless FIRST (or someone else with all the scores in a database somewhere) recalculates ALL the seeding using the new formula, it is very difficult to say.

I really believe that the rankings would have been much more reflective of each team's 'true rank'

If anyone has all the scores from the Nationals in an Excel spreadsheet or an Access database, I would love to post a round by round comparision of the top 30 teams.

It would be very instructive.

Joe J.
