Nathan, I terms of numbers, idk how FiM compares, I'm sure the charts and tables are floating out there. But in terms of how they are ranked, the system is very similar!

In which case they should have their points from the Rutgers event substituted for their points from the Lenape event.

This here is true. I was freaking out myself, but you basically confirmed my worries.
They counted Lenape instead of Rutgers, when the opposite should be true.
Any idea who I should contact?

I would contact Ed Petrillo.

I second Ed as the contact: even if he can't fix it, he knows who can.

The system you have is identical to FiM, at least for this first year. This is to ensure a smooth start for MAR. Next year, you can adjust the point system to your liking as long as FIRST headquarters agree. I personally would advocate for different regions to have the system they like. It is their choice how they want to advance teams to championships. In Michigan, we want to advance the most competitive robots to the State Championship and subsequently to have strong representations at World Championship.

I noticed the mistake about 224 and I already notified Ed Petrillo. I did not check to see if there are other errors. I just glanced at it and found one that does not match what my spreadsheet says.

[Cyclotron]

A revised ranking spreadsheet will be put up by our webmaster very soon. I have done the calculations so far and any errors have been my responsibility alone. Your input on the best way to present the results is welcome.

Ed Law has graciously calculated the MAR results on an independent basis as a check on our results. Our goal is to have this responsibility in the hands of two MAR members in the future.

Thanks to everyone who contacted me concerning errors.

The MAR system is identical to FiM as Ed wrote.

I am a proponent of keeping the system identical. As more Districts come online, identical point systems allow for us to 'visit other districts' and have them count in our own district CMP. Ultimately I see the 2-tier FRC system (Regional, then StL CMP) turning into a 3-tier system (District, District CMP, StL CMP). Then we cal all go visiting around the country again

Carol:

Does that figure of 54 include the 5 Chairman's Winners?

If not then it would be the top 49 teams from the points?

I just updated the public google doc with standing after the first day of qualifying @ mount olive if anyone is interested. I'll probably do the same at some point tomorrow, but others are welcome to edit as well.

Attached is my last attempt at figuring out which teams have clinched. I updated the rankings to include Sat Mt. Olive points, 224 fix and the expanded 54 team field. Plenty of moving parts, but I think I got it right.

Congrats 103, 1640, 1279, 1302, 1647 and every other team with 53 or more points. See you at MAR Championship!

[scottandme]

My post from last night wasn't approved, maybe because I put a link in it (new user verification?), but I'll be updating the standings in the google doc found in post #17 as elims start in mount olive.

[Deetman]

Thanks Scott!

I was going to do this myself today but I see you've already been updating the spreadsheet. If you need any help, let me know.

[scottandme]

Rankings should be accurate (excluding tiebreakers). Awards will be added as they're given. Right now the cutoff is 38 points, and I believe that 1626 holds the tiebreak over 75 (8 elim points vs 0 elim points). 433 is outside the cutoff so it's the top 53 teams by points. That may change when CA is awarded at Mount Olive.

75 auto qualifies with chairman's- Congrats guys!
