I'm sure FIRST did the math. They always do the math. Just not math humans use.
It was probably given to them from NASA from the aliens so we'd quit predicting the divisions before they release it.

177 is far too good this year to even escape the first round. And for that reason, I think they have their lowest shot at Einstein in years.

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!

Re: Division Predictions/Reactions

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:

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.

Re: Division Predictions/Reactions

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

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but it seems like Galileo is probably the "weakest" comparatively; however, that doesn't mean much considering it's championship and ALL of the divisions would be challenging.

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 ....
