There is another factor not being considered, chairmans. I personally believe that 217 told the first seed alliance not to pick them, and did it strongly. 217 was 2 and 6, in 81st place, there was not much reason (that I can see) to pick them, however they ended up picking them anyways. They had 2 amazing floor pick ups and a great climber, they needed someone to get discs to them quickly, likely a FCS. The curie high score was set by 1538 and us, a FCS. They picked 217 for their FCS, in the one match i watched, they got 15 discs out and made 4 of them. I personally (not my team's opinion, just mine) think that they may have chose them over us because of chairmans, if they had picked us, we would've likely won the division, and possibly more. We have a very strong chairmans team, but this year and quite a few prior, we have not been anywhere near as good robot-wise as 1538, 1114 and the prior winners. If they had picked us, and we had got to Einstein and further, the chairman's award would've been even closer than I'm sure it already was. I have no idea if this was actually their logic, but I can't find another reason for them to pick 217 over us. Anyways, Thanks for that fun 8th match, 1538.
I don't see a Chairman's issue as the award was probably decided before eliminations.
