2014 District Point Model Analysis

[Navid Shafa]

Main Reference: 2014 Projected District Point System

Below are some VERY interesting graphs and stats from the 2/6/14 PNW District Webinar (Video):




^This graph was the most interesting. I'm currently working on a further analysis including the other newer district regions: MAR, NE and our friends in Canada

The Pacific NW webinar and these graphs inspired me to take my old model and apply the new point system and include average OPR:

*Teams underlined were Chairman Winners.


I graphed Teams and sorted by Rank, showing Points vs. OPR:


*I realize there is a lot of statistical noise. I also didn’t normalize the events.

With all of this in mind:

64 teams would qualify for the District Championship. 10 district Chairman winners, 54 taken from the point system ranking.

Points accrued at the District Championship are worth (3x) as much.
PNW would then send the following (24) teams to the World Championship:
-3 Winning Alliance Members
-3 Chairman’s Winners
-1 Engineering Inspiration
-1 Rookie All Star
-16 Teams based off of the District Point Ranking.

I love the fact that last year, our 156 teams made up slightly more than 6% of the 2509 world team count. This means that we would have filled 6% of the 400 Champ slots.

I really hope that when we are in an entirely unified District System that Regions get a percentage of slots based upon their relative size.

Along with the further analysis of regional representation, I am going to create a 2014 PNW District Point Database here.

I'm super excited for the new District System to play out in the PNW. Good luck teams!
