With a little bit of patience (actually, you don't have to wait that long), the stacked division will be revealed via posts on CD.

Re: Championship Division question.

Back in the day we used to be able to anticipate who was going to be in what division by using their fairly simple code for picking divisions. They have since changed that so it's not quite so easy to do so.

Looking at TBA I've noticed a pattern as well.

176 was on Newton 02 - 06. In 07 we were on Curie, 08 was Galileo, and then 09 and 10 were Archimedes. So that's Newton 5/9, Archimedes 2/9, Curie 1/9, and Galileo 1/9. I wonder if most teams that attend CMP every year have that one division they are in more frequently than others.

We've been in a different division every time we go to Worlds. (Archimedes, Curie, Galileo)

Maybe we'll get Newton this time...

We won the regional championship, did not have a 4th team on the winning alliance, and won Engineering Inspiration at the Colorado Regional this weekend. That should free up a spot for an at-large team. Good luck in getting to Champs.

Doesn't help if you're from MI and not preregistered, and one spot shy of the MI qualification group. It'll help someone get off the waitlist... but maybe not 201.

Michigan has their own ranking/wait list for CMP than the regular waitlist.

For BOB I didn't really notice a pattern for our divisions. Don't know what division we were in for '02.

'10 was Galileo
'09 was Newton
'08 was Archimedes
'07 was Archimedes
'06 was Newton
'05 was Curie
'01 was Curie

Re: Championship Division question.

Does anybody know how many teams will be at Championships this year? (assuming teams fill up the spots correctly)
And is this the list of teams that already going for sure?

Re: Championship Division question.

I guess we have a little bit of a tendency: '05 Galileo, '06 Archimedes, '07 Newton, '08 Curie, '09 Archimedes, '10 Newton, '11 Here's praying we get in

Last year there was 350 teams if I remember right. That's about 86/87 teams per division.
