Re: Or we could try the easy way...

Come up with a game that has near INSTANT score results at the end of the game That would save tremendous time with the same amount of refs, fields etc. and then you get more matches. : I know I've said this before, but sit tight cuz I'm gonna say it again. : It is a well known statistical fact that luck is eliminated with increased trials. We need increased trials! : If one 540 match can put a lucky robot into the select sixteen, and similarly one 8 point round can pull a select sixteen team from that coveted position, there is obviously a problem. You have all acknowledged this in your posts. The solution is to increase the trials! : How do we fix it? More arenas. More time. : I saw someone suggest an extra day. This costs more, but it may not be such a bad tradeoff. We all want more matches. Don't you think those 80+ hour all-nighters would be better requited with more than six matches? Seriously, we put our lives into this thing. : More arenas would mean a big headache for FIRST and less time between matches. Unless another day is added. Once again, it may be worth the costs. : Personally, I think adding a third alliance partner is merely a way to avoid the issue. It works to a point, but it reduces the amount of matches some team gets to play. In essence, it makes the situation worse. No mater how well a teams bot performs, they deserve some play time. We all deserve to play. Remember what FIRST stands for... : And as for practicing for the finals, that also seems a little contrived. It's human nature to try to find reasons to support our opinions so I don't blame you, but it didn't really seem like an issue to me. It's not something you need too much practice for. I know my team didn't have a problem with it. : : Just some thoughts from the guy who's got too many... : -Daniel |
