What, you don't want to be the 8th seed captain against 1114/111?

[dodar]

Could you imagine if each of them picked their own alliances? OMG that would be the greatest quarterfinals ever

We'd move up to 7th and probably 6th or more if that were a ranking list. It would be a Team IFI Royal Rumble.

The divisional balance is far, far more skewed out of whack with serpentine than with the standard sort. I kinda liked the standard sort myself. But again, this is all a pointless exercise!

[dodar]

How about instead of doing the divisions with the 348 teams that are in, do a divisional breakdown with the top 348 OPR teams and then see how the divisions would breakdown with the same sort you did the first time.

Probably about as balanced as you're going to get.

I wonder if FIRST even considers sorting like this. Attachment:

You didnt do it with the top 348 teams with the highest OPR

I sorted by Average OPR for all 348 CMP teams and then assigned A-C-G-N.

I think what you are suggesting is just a bit too unrealistic, even for this thread, because teams staying home with higher OPR's than CMP participating teams are still not going to attend the CMP this year....

I leave anything else as an exercise for the reader.

[AlecMataloni]

Oh man... If somehow that was our actual division...

[SteveGarward]

I prefer the first attempt with 111 and 3132 in the same division. No real reason, just a strange personal bias.

FAKE Galileo looks like the place to be.

JVN, Bill Beatty, Amir Abo-Shaeer, John Novak, ... that's a lot of awesomeness, just in a quick glance near the top of this FAKE list.

Oh yeah, and in FAKE Galileo you can pick 67 or 469 ....

[ATannahill]

A 349th challenger appears.

148 sends out Raptor. Raptor uses Autonomous! It's Super Effective!

That explains why I was hearing that tune coming from the Chicken camp last weekend. I thought it was a bit odd timing for some retro right before alliance selections...

Oh, and its a good thing they went to night to switch fields. Could you imagine the awesomeness flux of the above group having to switch fields midday? any team using a Gyro would likely have to re-calibrate.

Excellet to hear that DSK hasn't been forgotten. I'm hearing rumors of a reunion tour...
