I can't wrap my head around this statement. Is it a foregone conclusion that the best team in each division will seed #1, choose the 2nd best team as their partner, and advance to Einstein scoring exactly in line with their current, pre-Championship OPR? It's anybody's ball game.

Two new teams: 2851 in Archimedes and 1178 in Newton. Now 400 teams total.

Well bonus is there are only 96 teams to scout seeing our scouters already stalk 1114 and 2056, and 67 has been at all the same events as us thus far. Crevolution is super excited to compete.

The way people here talk, you'd think there's no use in holding the Championship at all.

Seeding is going to be incredibly schedule dependent. Good teams will do well, but if any of several powerhouse teams in a division are scheduled against one another, it's going to screw around with any preconceived ideas of who's going to end up where and what the alliance selections will look like.

Yep. That's exactly what I was referring to.

Curie actually has a GREAT chance of winning this year. Curie = 2004 Red Sox

Curie almost won in 2009 but we under estimated Wildstang.

As mentioned throughout this thread, Curie almost won 2010.

Curie almost won in 2010 but then the curse took the dream alliance of 469 and 1114.

OPR will not give you an even remotely clear picture of what 2851 is capable of doing. 5.3, 14.4, and 9.2 for the respective events they attended. This team pulled some pretty big wins out of those crazy hats they wear.

Curie also almost won in 2008 but ran into probably the greatest alliance ever combined at Champs, SimChickenWranglers a.k.a. 1114, 217, 148. Yes, for those who dont know, 148 was the last pick of the division.
