FRC Top 25 week 3 results

[Patrick Seeney]

There are only 10 experts that contribute to the poll and of which only 4 did lists last week? Why are the experts limited to only 10? That seems to be a mighty small sample size to be considered the experts to evaluate teams, especially when not even half are contributing.

Once again...I realize this is all for fun and quite honestly the popular poll would seem to give better results...

The experts volunteered. That means that only 10 volunteered and actually sent in a list. (I don't know how many volunteered and didn't send in a list yet.) I don't think that 10 is a limit, but a function of willingness to volunteer.

Define "volunteered". Can my grandmother volunteer to be an expert?

Sarcasm aside, I'm assuming there was some process for approving the experts other than just volunteering services. I believe Looking Forward sent invites for participating in the past top-25 polls.

I sent out invites as well as posted that anyone interested is welcome to PM me if they wanted to participate as an expert, no one was turned down.

Eric is absolutely right. The fact we "only" have twelve experts was a matter of only getting twelve people to volunteer.

LF didnt send invites for the expert polls.

I didn't mean this year's past top-25 polls. I meant for the polls in previous years.

Got it. Sorry, I missed the "past" part as being prior to this season.
