World Rankings

Team 103 is ranked 103 with 103 points...

Are week 7 events (specifically MAR and FiM Championships) included in this?

The Chesapeake regional is included. The Michigan and MAR championships are not. Since each team at the championships were already involved in 2 events, it wouldn't have impacted the rankings.

I am assuming that no points were given for Engineering Inspiration or Chairman's Awards? I don't see them on the charts...just the other awards like spirit and safety, etc
i guess this is an artifact of using the FiM system. They don't give ranking points for these awards because they qualify directly for the State Championship... Normally teams that win one of these bigger awards don't receive any of the other awards that ARE given points under the FiM rules..

Correct:

A18: This decision for this was made by FIRST NH, not FiM. FIRST considers these 3 awards to be “Culture Changing Awards” and wishes them to remain apart from the rest of the competition awards.
FiM disagrees with this position, and we feel that the decision not to award points for these items actually degrades the prestige of these awards relative to the others by making them worth nothing in our system.

That is the only occurrence of all three matching. Team 11 is ranked 11. No other team has the same number of points as their team number.
