Re: toughest regional in 2011?
There was no blue banner for EI in 2007 - for sure as well. I don't believe it ever has been awarded a blue banner.

There are cases of teams winning championshps that have a losing record. Does that make them a strong team? |

Re: toughest regional in 2011?
It is going to be extremely hard to determine which regional is the hardest. FIRST isn't a sport, the game, strategy, robot, and team changes each and every year.
Midwest is full of powerhouse teams, but if they are all extremely good and everyone else is mediocre than the competition lies between only those good teams. What about the regionals that are full of good teams? |

Re: toughest regional in 2011?
You could argue that even MSC doesn't have it either, but it's the closest any event gets, perhaps even compared to IRI.

Re: toughest regional in 2011?
I'll see if I can dig my old scripts out, can't run them right now though because I have a bad internet connection at school and no internet at home. I'll post em if I find em so someone else can run them.

Re: toughest regional in 2011?
I was thinking more of a regional like GSR with no super team who always wins although 121/78 have made it to the finals for the past 3 years, but it is full of good teams who when you look at the list you know they will have a competitive robot that can sway a match.
20,40,58,69,78,126,175,1058,1073,1519,1772,and 1922. If all of these teams stuck with their previous standards, that is 12 of 53 good robots who can make for a very interesting finals before the third picks. I'm not saying GSR is the hardest, but sometimes such events are harder to win. Last edited by BrendanB : 01-02-2011 at 21:00. |

Re: toughest regional in 2011?
Even IRi has the occasional soft spot (though I haven't seen a true sacrificial lamb alliance yet).

Re: toughest regional in 2011?

Re: toughest regional in 2011?
Michigan has a great championship event, and I do believe it's classified as a Regional. I'm looking forward to TC and WM districts! I have a feeling it's going to be a very interesting season.

Re: toughest regional in 2011?
How about this... Can we identify the "Hardest Regional" by week, and then decide from there? Otherwise this is a free-for-all. I would say do Weeks 1-6... and a seperate division for the Michigain Districts and Champs (No offense... and if anything that is a compliment to your competitiveness!)
Week 1: Granite State --- New Jersey --- Finger Lakes --- Alamo Week 2: San Diego --- Florida --- WPI --- Lake Superior --- Greater Kansas City --- Pittsburg --- Wisconsin --- New York City Week 2.5: Israel Week 3: Arizona --- Sacremento --- Peachtree --- Boilermaker --- Bayou --- Chesapeake --- St. Louis --- Oklahoma --- Lone Star --- Seattle Olympic --- Seattle Cascade Week 4: Washington DC --- Waterloo --- Los Angeles --- Hawaii --- Midwest --- Long Island --- Oregon --- Palmetto Week 5: East Toronto --- West Toronto --- Silicon Valley --- Connecticut --- 10000 Lakes --- North Star --- Las Vegas --- Smokey Mountain Week 6: Colorado --- Boston --- North Carolina --- Buckeye --- Philadelphia --- Dallas --- Utah --- Virginia Michigan: Week 1: Traverse City --- Kettering University Week 2: Waterford Week 3: West Michigan --- Detroit Week 4: Ann Arbor --- Niles Week 5: Livonia --- Troy Week 6: Michigan Champs Best of luck this season!

Close, but Kettering over TC, Detroit over WM, AA over Niles, and Troy over Livonia.

Re: toughest regional in 2011?
I don't think these are pre-listed in order of strength. It is unlikely that Colorado will be more competative than Dallas in week 6, although we will try our best to make it as competative as possible.

I manually went through FIRST's data, so I could be missing some, but here's San Deigo.
