I have carefully avoided the responsibility of doing the assignments myself, leaving that to FIRST staff to do (and absorb the flak) However, you are welcome to send the spreadsheet to me (and a text file with the methodology) and I will be glad to share this with the folks doing the work. I think their results and yours would be similar..

I am considering adding this functionality in future years. It will be an interesting discussion to decide if it should be based purely on regional performance, or if there should be some weighting based on home city/state/country (either keep together, or spread around), if we should normalize based on some factor of total regional performance, etc. Sounds like a job for Tim Jump/Fred Rose's team in MN). Should divisional assignments be retained over successive years? Lots of cool idea here, but in the big picture, quite frankly, if the strongest teams get well distributed, the rest could be assigned randomly and still have a good chance of being strong competitors. With a sufficiently larger number of teams, we have the law of large numbers on our side.
