Re: Karthik: Effective FIRST Strategies 2010

I am really looking forward to your discussion.

Quote:
I'll probably spend a good amount of time discussing the current scoring and ranking system and the various strategies and the ethical issues associated with them.
I just threw these numbers together and I'm sure there is much more depth than this but at the Michigan State Championship with 65 teams:

Seeding rankings 13, 14, 15, 17, and 18 were not selected for the top 24.

Seeding rankings 44, 45, 47, 48, and 62 were selected in the top 24 with 45 as the fourth pick and 62 selected by the top seeded alliance and eventual victors.

I apologize if my numbers or team numbers are incorrect but it certainly speaks to the seeding rankings. Huge importance for top 8.....much less for the rest of the pack.
