Most Regional Wins ever

[Justin Montois]

The FIRST website is an astonishingly unreliable source for results.

Agreed... They seem pretty reliable if you don't go back beyond about 2002... their accuracy before that period seems "astonishingly unreliable," as you said. I've tried to put that as a disclaimer as much as I can! :-)

Their reliability past that point is pretty poor as well. Kearse and I spent some time this summer tracking data down and we found all sorts of mistakes in the FIRST databases.

So I see that we have the most regional wins without getting to Einstein....
I hope we change that one day.

Our current driver has 6 regional wins, 1 finalist, 2 IRI wins in his 9 regional/off-season tournaments he has done so far......and currently a junior.

With district events probably coming to California, I can see the Poofs start distancing themselves again from the rest of the pack, other than 67 and 1114.

Haha, you and us both waialua! I saw that HYPER's the 2nd without getting to Einstein and although we haven't won one in a few years, I have confidence that we will improve to one day make that dream come true.

7 regional wins
1 division win (2003)
9 regional/division finalists

Thanks for correcting me - I just added 343 to the list.

Yeah, you guys are due for an Einstein appearance! :-)

Glad to hear there was some effort to assess it... Perhaps teams could "fact-check" their own award history and submit revisions to FIRST? If there's a question of the integrity of this system of teams supplying their own award history, some sort of proof could be required. Perhaps a photo with the trophy or a bracket of the event. I'm not sure how to setup such a system, but it seems like it could help improve the reliability of the awards pages...
