Undefeated Teams at Regional Events

[jspatz1]

After going undefeated at North Star, we were curious just how many teams did it this year at other events. Turns out the list is much longer than I expected. By my count, it was done 19 times. 2 teams did it at more than one event (1114 & 359). 1114 (3 events) & 971 (1 event) are the only undefeated teams for the season.

Here's my list. Please add omissions, or correct mistakes.

359 @ Arizona & Hawaii
217 @ Cass Tech
25 @ Las Vegas
1676 @ Virginia
1114 @ Pittsburg & Waterloo & Toronto (!!!)
2630 @ Isreal
2669 @ Isreal
971 @ Silicon Valley
254 @ Silicon Valley
1732 @ Midwest
1208 @ St. Louis
148 @ Dallas
368 @ Hawaii
1124 @ Connecticut
71 @ North Star
1986 @ North Star

I had other mistakes, but they were in the list.

25 was actually one penalty free match from being undefeated at New Jersey (and for the season). It sort of reminds you of this and this

They only lost the important ones...

I was shocked that for a 28 team regional in HI with 12 matches, we never had to play against 368. Both of us at 18-0-0 will never happen again.
To me, it involves a lot of luck.
If you told me at the end of build season that we would have no losses for 39 matches in a row and counting, I wouldn't have believed it, ever. I keep telling our 1st year students, its never going to be like this again.

Most definately YES!

1676 was completely undefeated in Virginia, playing only 6 elimination matches to win the regional.

I think 356 on your list should be 359. If that's the case, you have them twice.

971 is also undefeated for the season (only attending 1 regional). The last time 971 was undefeated prior to the championship, they won the championship.

525 was REALLY close... They only lost in the Finals at Minnesota 10,000 Lakes.

1114 isn't undefeated. They got DQ'ed twice at Waterloo.

Not sure that qualifies as defeated. Not reflected in their record at least. I'm not touting any particular team, just sharing some research.

How did they get DQ'd?.. I just never seen it... and certainly not from a team like 1114!

Now I don't know for sure, but what I thought I heard happen was that, in an attempt to maximize their seeding points, 1114 went into their opponents home zone to score balls for them while another robot on their alliance was already in that zone.

This happened to 67 at MSC as well in one match.

Certainly wouldn't call that a defeat. Just a "Doh!" moment.
