Re: Predictions Championship 2012: Where Amazing Happens

Each division will have it's own prediction thread, but here's a layout of how they will work. "Tips", "locks", "dark horses", and "sleepers" will be named for each division. In this context a tip is a team to watch, with a solid chance of going deep. A lock is a team that's guaranteed to do well, with a 50% chance or better of making the divisional finals. A dark horse is a team that has played very well all year but hasn't generated a lot of attention and stands a strong chance to surprise a lot of people. Sleepers are teams that have shown flashes of brilliance but haven’t been able to put it all together yet, but have some potential to shine in St. Louis if they can play well. As always, if you don't like the predictions, go out there and prove them wrong.[/quote]

195 is the darkest of horses and ready for St. Louis Quick Triple balance, stinger, 100% auto, amazing shooting and wheelies. So excited to be in Archimedes!!!! and looking forward to the links to the prediction threads!

Announcing that your team is the dark horse doesn't really convince anyone, and defeats the purpose of a dark horse. Additionally, considering your OPR is actually top 15 in the division, you might actually be a semi-gloss white horse.

Remember, only 1% of FIRSTers are on Chief Delphi (maybe not 1% but a low number). Also, OPR is not a great metric this year at all.
