championship divisions?

Ignore this post.

See attachment. I was bored. I'm sure awesome gee whiz scouting spifftasticness will be published by others eventually.

Very basic, but at least somewhat orderly.

I used a copy of the OPR Results tab from Ed Law's spreadsheet to grab the Max OPR's.

When I got home from work my facebook wall had exploded with people chanting the names of dead scientists.

Did someone say culture change?

"FMS" page always gets updated before the regular "TIMS" page, sometimes by a great deal of time. Justin & his "source" used this to pull off the best Division reveal IMHO. Revealing team by team, it was like the first FRCTop25 Broadcast.

I'm sure Zach will use the FMS page in the future. FRCMega has been a great addition to our community created apps & services. FMS page would be easier to parse for the an SMS generating script anyway, since it is designed to be parsed by a computer. I personally use the FMS pages all the time anyway. They are way easier to paste into spreadsheets and always on 1 page.

Has anyone been able to figure out an algorithm for the division assignments?

There seems to be a pattern in that international teams are grouped in specific divisions.

Israel: 2 each in Galileo, Newton, and Curie.
Mexico: 3 Archimedes, 2 Curie, but 1 Newton.
Australia: Archimedes, Galileo
Netherlands: Galileo
Turkey: Newton.
Brazil: Galileo

By Team Number:
ACANGAGAGCNGAANNNGCGNGCNGANNCNCGNANNNNGCNNNGNCCCAG AACGNNAAAAGGNNGC

Any guesses?

Canada and The Dominican Republic no longer count as being international good to know 'Merica spread it's borders without me realizing

But Just to add Canada has 27 teams:
2 Archimedes
8 Curie
10 Galileo
7 Newton

While the Dominican Republic team is in Curie

Substituting T for N, pretty sure we get a transcription of a piece of Dean's DNA...

So that's how they assign divisions!

Yeah, I thought about my miss of the Dominican Republic after my post.
My bad.
I was too lazy to parse the Canadian teams. Again, my bad.

Nonetheless, what do you think the powers that be used as an algorithm?
In the past it was a simple ACGN repeating, this year... IDK.
Is there a pattern of Regional winners being equally spread through the divisions?

Nah... it's all in pi.

Just FYI, with all of the hype about divisions last night, we set a new record for most users online on Chief Delphi, with 918 users online simultaneously.

Wow, no wonder FIRST's servers died for so long...

Whoops, I meant 988.

Adding in teams that qualified for a slot in Florida (1772 Brazil, 4091 Dominican Republic, 4451 South Carolina)

5 Newton
4 Curie
2 Galileo (Shark gets their Brazilian Alliance Partner)
5 Archimedes

Don't worry, we'll make Florida proud! And hope to see some Florida friends on Einstein?

Happy to see 1772 in our division though!

This has probably been discussed several times in the history of CD, but I'm a relative newcomer. <type=rhetorical>Isn't there something wrong that CD can stay up under a load that brings down the FIRST servers?</type>
