Re: Undefeated Teams at Regional Events

Actually, in FIRST, undefeated == winner.

If you never lose a match, and you have to lose two matches to be out of the eliminations, then if you are undefeated and the event is over, you have won the event.

Barring incidents like eyu100 suggests (which, BTW, have yet to happen--after about the second red card, most teams would be seriously thinking about switching out whoever was responsible, if they hadn't already done so), the above holds.

However, winner != undefeated. Every team that won that isn't on the list is proof that that last statement is true.

Also note that, while I won't tell you this officially or at an event, by competing in the competition, even if you don't win anything, you win just as much as by winning the event. Remember, I won't tell you this. I prefer to let you find out for yourself.
