Michigan State Championship

[arbasnaw]

I'm from a rookie team 3638 and i was wondering how many teams go to the state championship.

If it helps at all, the number of teams in attendance last year was 65.

Top 55 teams according to a ranking found here http://firstinmichigan.org/FRC_2011/2011_Results.xls and the 9 district chairman award winners

Techincally according to the state ranking, the event winners do not have an auto bid...

Winners of each District event do not automatically qualify for States, but in most cases, the amount of points they earn by winning will almost guarantee they have enough points to make the cut. Only district Chairman's award winners automatically qualify for States.
Please refer to the Michigan Rules Supplement for details.

Sorry this file is so hidden. It is underneath the table of all the competition events. I will find a better place for it next year.

Regarding MI State Championships, the MI rules supplement said that the final state rankings will be posted no later than 9 AM the Sunday following the week 5 events. Have the rankings been updated yet and posted on the FIRST in Michigan site? It is already Sunday and past 9 AM, so I was wondering if there was some other reason causing the delay. If anyone has any more information on this, it would be helpful.

Wow, no auto qualify for Rookie All Star, or event winner?

[JosephC]

Unless I'm mistaken don't the engineering inspiration award winners get in automatically also?

Not this year only chairmans get a auto bye for the championship. district winners don't even get a auto go.

Rookie All Star isn't even worth any points towards States. Bit strange really.

Wow, that's just stupid. So first year teams have to do as well as 67 or 33 to play?

that's how it goes. but everyone is on the same platform if you think about it. no one knows the game until it comes out and afterwards and no one has "a leg up" as you can see, rookies can do well such as teams 3539 3542 and such
