Looks like DJ nailed it.

Just flipping through the list, Archimedes once again looks like the division. All three 2004 champions (71, 435, 494) are back in there, as are 79, 179, 217, 233, 342, 845, 1251, and those are just the ones I spotted off the top of my head.

This is going to be interesting. All the divisions have very good teams. This is going to be a good game in Curie Division. Some teams from top of my head... 7, 21, 33, 108, 118, 195, 229, 234, 269, 279, 312, 461, 1126, 1646... 9 days...

Can't wait to you guys again in the Curie Division.

Even according to those stats, without a doubt, the divisions, by strength, rank:

1. Archimedes (clearly )
2. Galileo
3. Newton
4. Curie

[Karthik]

Some more stats.

Same as before, but no repetition allowed. i.e. Number of Regional Champions per division. If a team won twice, you only count once. If a team was a champion and a finalist, they only count as a finalist. This will give a better idea of how many "elite" level teams are in each divison.

(Thanks to Bill Moore for the suggestion)

Regional Champions

Archimedes: 25
Curie: 10
Galileo: 21
Newton: 17

Finalists:

Archimedes: 13
Curie: 7
Galileo: 9
Newton: 8

[Sean Schuff]

Never count out the underdog! Team 93 + Boilermaker Regional = 41st seed to the finals in 4 matches. The champs may come from someplace other than Archimedes. Although I personally hope not since our team is in Archimedes.

Good luck to all and safe travels to Atlanta next week!

Archimedes is all the RAGE!!!

Archimedes is the epsilon delta.....
Not quite as good

Wow, Arch is stacked, at least we get a good show once we get knocked out of the competition

Yes... and Newton's Canadian team is.. Sandwiched.. among many American teams...... *cough* ("Club Sandwich" just doesn't have the same effect).

Anyways, I know lots of people on our team will be kind of upset that we have been separated from ALL of the other Canadian teams, but it will be really fun to meet all the other people in this division. I believe we have only played with two other teams in this division before (639 and 1511) and all three of us went to both Finger Lakes and Greater Toronto. I'm really excited to see Code Red and Rrrrolllling Thunder for a third time this year . Edit: Oh! 340 is also with us . I just noticed that.

I am definitely going to come by and see all the other Canadians there since we won't be playing alongside them! I'm crawling out of my skin in anticipation for this... I can't wait.

By the way, are the pits divided into the divions as well? And are all divisions in the same building?
