California Rankings 2014

Just curious, if we were in a district system, what would the point threshold likely be to qualify for CA state champs?

If you assume the state championship would be held at the site of the largest regional (LA with 66 teams), the cutoff would be around 50 points.

And championships? Would it be the same as the 3 regional winners * 6 events, plus 3 qualifying award slots times six regionals (for a total of 36 teams) that we currently have?

It proportional to the number of teams in the area in 2013. Last year, there were 211 teams, out of a total of 2524, vying for 373 slots at the championship this year. California would get 32 slots.

I don't imagine that there are any known dates for when CA is moving to the district model? Do you know if 2015 is likely or is 2016 just as likely?

I've computed the points for week 6. I've also included where the team ranks in the world. California has 3 of the top 10 in the World rankings, the most of any region.

Last year, I heard 2015... but recently I heard they don't have enough funding so it may get moved back another year to 2016. Hard to say right now. Hopefully they will hold some town hall meetings in May/June to give us an update like they did last year.

At SVR, Jim Beck said that there will be 7 regionals in California for 2015 (new one is in Santa Barbara). And in 2016 we're switching to a new system wbut he would not call it a "district."

I also heard that its been tough to find small venues to house a district event. Very few california high schools have an building large enough to house pits. I think a lot of university venues are just too big.

I personally love our university venue for the Sacramento Regional at UC Davis, it's the perfect size, however, we have to go outside and up a ramp two stories to get to the practice field. But that's a small price to pay for having the amount of space that the Pavilion has. When we traveled to SVR a while back, it was small in comparison to Davis, but understandably so because it's a state school and not a UC. The pits and practice field were perfectly fine, but we had difficulty with seating especially with so many large teams there. At CVR, the high school is more than capable of hosting the regional. Sure, the volunteers had to share their room for the practice field, but it worked. Not really many complaints there. A lot of newer high schools are capable of holding events, ours was opened in 2006 and we proved that we can do it. I think the main problem with high school venues is the conflict with school. At CVR, they were lucky enough to convince the school district to declare a holiday in honor of the regional. That won't fly with some other school districts. It's difficult to tell the whole school that there won't be access to either gyms for two days.

I've heard of some folks nosing around for potential offseason sites and coming up with a couple high schools that just might be able to make it work--and both have teams. And a couple other "smallish" venues.

I heard that too, I forget the number of venues we need to find still. 3309 tried to see if any of our 3 high schools can host but none of our facilities are large enough. Servite will be building a new gym in a few years and robotics events are being considered in its design. So we will have to see how that turns out.

Basically two sites for each site we now have

Anyone familiar with this new non-"district" system? I'd be interested to hear how it works and what the plan looks like.

No details yet, but from what I understand, the original idea a few years ago was to have district-sized events and more of them as opposed to a handful of large regionals. CVR was the first example of this. I don't know how much the idea has changed.
