Re: CT Championship - May 11

10 days to go !! Since my team didn't go to the Hartford regional this year, I would love to know more about your robots so that we can see the amazing teams we are going to be playing with.

I sent an information packet to the team main and alternate contacts, plus the person who registered the team (if different) on Friday afternoon. It contains the list of teams attending, plus details about the event including location, parking, load-in, schedule, food, etc.

All the CT FRC teams will be there with with the exception of: 716 (Housatonic Valley Regional HS), 2785 (Kent School), 3719 (New London), 4572 (Redding).

We are encouraging teams to do load-in and pit setup on Friday from noon to 7pm since there will only be a small opportunity to do load-in on Saturday morning from 7-7:30am.

We are still looking for a few volunteers to help out. And I think we still need one practice field goal wall.

See everyone on Friday/Saturday!

177 may be able to provide the practice field goal. Don't take my word on it though, I will have to check on it. (We may not have room on the bus)

I just got word back that our goals are still in our practice facility. We do not have easy access to it before Saturday, sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: CT Championship - May 11

How is this only 5 days away? Feels like just yesterday we were sitting in the Edward Jones dome...

Oh well looking forward to seeing some of CT's finest that weren't at Champs this year go head to head again!

See you Friday night!

I can't wait for Saturday! It will be an absolute blast to referee so many amazing teams from CT again! Especially those teams I didn't get to ref in Boston or Hartford! Good luck everyone!

Re: CT Championship - May 11

First, does anyone know how many projected qualifications matches we're going to have? There are only about 4.5 hours set aside for qualification matches.

Second, what are AP Physics students doing, since the tests are on Monday afternoon? Is anyone interested in setting up something similar to the study groups at Championships, or are you all planning on just studying on Sunday? Unfortunately, there are no physics teachers on our team.

Re: CT Championship - May 11

Doing the simple math, only 30 qualification matches can be played. They might save some time by doing some "speed rounds" as the day goes on (quickly announcing the teams, no flags, etc). Still I can't see any more than 35 matches possible in 4.5 hours.

That means a maximum of 210 "slots" (6 slots per match); divided among 40 teams, that means no mare than 5 qualification matches can be possible in this time frame.

I'm guessing 4 rounds though, with some teams playing a 5th that won't count. So it's not going to be doing a great job of sorting the best teams in the top 8.

The alternative is to follow the Minnesota model, where teams come in pre-ranked based on their best regional performance. We'll have to see how this goes this year.

Load in and setup is taking place now! Can't imagine trying to pack all the craziness into 1 day, the action starts in 15.5 hours!
