FRC Championship Size Sustainability

[Jon Stratis]

How do you handle teams that qualified multiple ways? for example, a team might win the competition AND earn Chairman's, or a Hall of Fame team might also be regional winners.

[Kris Verdeyen]

If a team qualified in more than one way (e.g. Hall of Fame team wins a Regional), the team is listed twice. Teams attending the CMP that did not qualify in any way were assumed to have Registered, so if I missed any qualification method, that's where they'd be included. All the 2012 Einstein Teams were included in 2013's "Last Year's Winners." Championship Qualification in 2004 included a point system based on 2003 performance; I ignored it and assumed any point-based qualifiers simply Registered.

From the paper description.

Nice investigation, thanks!

If a team qualified in more than one way (e.g. Hall of Fame team wins a Regional), the team is listed twice.

For example, add up the percentages and you'll find it's 111.8% for 2013
P.S.
And 6.5% of the overrun were turned over to wildcard teams.
