Go to Post People misuse GP because they see Dean as some sort of whimsical cross between the Nutty Professor and Mister Rogers and think that FIRST is Disney World and we're all going to happily hold hands around the campfire and sing happy songs all day long. - Koko Ed [more]

Only 4 qual rounds in florida?

Well, if you figure 8 hours of competition on Friday(480 minutes), with an average of 7-8 minutes per round(with scoring time), and the 3 stages like they had last year...that gives you a total of about 180 rounds...

If you figure in 4 teams per round and roughly 200 teams, that figures out to right around 3 per team on friday alone

Then there's saturday...with only 8 alliances competing in elims, that gives most of the day for more qualification rounds...without a definite Florida agenda posted, let's say that qual rounds run from 9 to about 2, with an hour in there for lunch...that's another 4 hours(240 min)...which comes out to about another 90 rounds

So, on saturday, that gives each team, on average, about another 2 rounds...for about 5 overall

So, if i did the math right(it's late and i'm tired), that's only 5 qual rounds, which does seem awfully low...does anyone else see possibly another stage making an appearance in '99?

one more stage does this to the math...

total rounds: 360
total rounds * teams per round: 1440
average rounds per team(assuming 200 teams): 7.2

just one of the many ways to solve this problem...

Nate
