As a reminder, MAR will need to draft sometime between now and a week from Wednesday, whenever the event is mostly filled. (Ed, did you have a date in mind?) MSC will likely be run at the same time.

Las Vegas: There are enough available teams to fill all the remaining holes. Barely. First come, first serve, otherwise I go by draft order. (I also discovered that Nemesis is missing a team there.)

I can't make a rock solid date til the team list gets posted.

[EricH]

Well, I can't issue the MI scores until I get them. *poke poke* Anyways...

I've scored Week 3, sans MI. (Week 2 is also sans MI; Week 1 MI elim scores are next up on my target list.) Again, no point values. But, the order is...

Flippin' the Greatest (Akash, Chris, XaulZan, JackS)
Falcon (EricH)
Nemesis (Dr. Theta)
Shoelace (Basel A, Nikeairmancurry)
CircuitRunners (ghostmachine360, Wing,iPenguin)
ProgramLuke (ProgramLuke)
Awesome (Duke461, O'sancheski)
1676 (Hallry)
Dodar (dodar)
Untouchables (Tyler Olds, EricLeiferman)
191 X-Cats (Koko Ed)
B.O.T (Cody Burd)

The top 5 are all over 3000 points; Flippin' the Greatest has a 200-point lead currently. But, 200 points in a matter of 3 weeks +3 events isn't all that hard to make up...and the #2 and #3 spots are only separated by 4 points.

Speaking of 4 points, I have been unable to locate the team for one of the Virginia Dean's List winners. If someone has knowledge of which teams had said winners, I would much appreciate knowing that information.

Was anything for Hawaii ever posted by FIRST?

At one time, it was. I'll try to get there via frclinks--the FIRST site seems to be down temporarily in that section, but frclinks gets through just fine.

FYI, Week 1 MI events have had their eliminations added in. No changes other than point spread. Hopefully I can get a couple Week 4 events scored later today, and keep going from there. (Maybe Hawaii...)

Edit: Nope, not Hawaii. Awards and match results are there, but not standings. If someone wanted to regenerate the standings, and more importantly the qualifying scores, that would be much appreciated.

Edit 2: Never mind! frclinks gets you to the awards and match results; the FRC site route gets you the standings. Hopefully they can get the rest of it working...

[EricH]

And, after a long afternoon of scoring during free time, I have one more week to do and I *might* be caught up. So, with Week 4 scored other than the MI districts, the current rankings are:

Nemesis (Dr. Theta)
Flippin' the Greatest (Akash, Chris, XaulZan, JackS)
Falcon (EricH)
Shoelace (Basel A, Nikeairmancurry)
1676 (Hallry)
CircuitRunners (ghostmachine360, Wing,iPenguin)
Dodar (dodar)
ProgramLuke (ProgramLuke)
Untouchables (Tyler Olds, EricLeiferman)
Awesome (Duke461, O'sancheski)
191 X-Cats (Koko Ed)
B.O.T (Cody Burd)

The top three are within 111 points of each other and just about 400 points ahead of everybody else.

Oh, and anybody who was at Buckeye: 228 can't have earned the Safety award due to not attending. Anybody know who did?

[EricH]

Good news is, I'm just about entirely caught up! Just need those last few MI districts (and I might start tackling those too).

So, here are the current scores and standings and all that...

Flippin' the Greatest 1097    1270    1074    1437    1390       6268
Nemesis               1149    1148     955    1717    1269       6238
Falcon                1085    1244     941    1588    1248       6106
1676                   867     979     916    1694    1518       5974
Shoelace              1098     956    1099    1317    1344       5814
Untouchables           766    1026     902    1529    1320       5543
CircuitRunners        1026    1126     968    1235    1168       5523
ProgramLuke            941     977    1000    1401    1180       5499
Dodar                  827    1261     660    1606    1051       5405
Awesome                683    1263     872    1327    1255       5400
191 X-Cats             746    1081     745    1415     997       4984
B.O.T                  656    1001     548    1092     777       4074

Note that these scores do not include any MI districts after Week 1, and I'm missing 1 Dean's List winning team in Virginia, 2 Dean's List winning teams in Washington, DC, and 1 Safety Award in Buckeye (14 points all told).

It was 2228, I was watching.

Well, nobody had 2228, so no changes to the scores.

[Chris is me]

Glad we're living up to our name.

[EricH]

OK, so I finished off Michigan. One more weekend, then it's drafting time again, with MSC and the MAR Championship happening in Week 7.

Your scores heading into Week 6:

Nemesis               1149    1262    1257    2042    1566            7276

CircuitRunners        1026    1398    1194    1496    1352            6466
Dodar                  827    1495     913    1855    1330            6420

You spoke too soon, Chris.

Michigan scores should be up later tonight, along with the full scoring sheet after I polish off distributing random teams.

Interesting trivia: the 5 weeks scored so far represent 2,886 individual teams at events. Some teams do multiple, some do single, but they're all accounted for.

Other notes: Some of the slots on the full scoring sheet will show a replacement team when I didn't announce any issues. In those cases, a team either failed to show up or was discovered to be a double pick during scoring. The replacement was the first team on the random list; in cases where multiple teams had to be replaced while scoring, I went in order of draft picks. Those teams will be in bold on a green background (once the sheet is released).

[EricH]

Ok, scoring sheet for MI and for all the alliances is up. See http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2660

Note the teams in green background, bold text. Those are replacement teams called in for missing/double-picked teams.

So, here's how it works from here on out:
This weekend: Week 6 events play, Week 6 events end.
Later this weekend: EricH scores the last 6 regionals.
Sometime next week: MSC and MAR Championship have filled enough to do a draft. Team scores are already out for those.
Next weekend: Said events play out.
End of next weekend: Final scoresheet before the Championships along with a full team score sheet go up. Ditto for final standings. Elgin Clock, MVP, and Rookie of the Year are announced.

Sometime between then and the Championship, the 4 division drafts happen. Special order on those; they go serpentine starting in order of regular season standings.

After Championship: The winner is crowned. Note that the Championship scores (and therefore the winner) are independent of in-season scoring.

[Koko Ed]

Looks like teams are signing up for MSC and MAR. I say let's aim for Monday or Tuesday (Tuesday might be better to give last minute teams a chance to sigh up)for the drafts. I'll take MSC you do MAR, Eric.

[EricH]

Roger that. Any particular order on drafting or do we go random like any other regional?

I can do Tuesday better than Monday, BTW.

Do you think there is any chance the standing will change? We could always use them as is.

I'll tell you after I finish scoring Week 6! Should be done later tonight, maybe tomorrow--either way, in enough time to draft.
