Also, this program is so cool (I didn't quote the whole thing, it got rather long). It's seemingly quite accurate!! What language did you use?

Here ya go.

Edit: Didn't like my .py file, so here it is with a ".py.txt" extension.

The FRC leader board already has who is "in" IE have already been offered a spot and registered. http://district.firstwa.org/PNW/2014 There are 3 teams that have been offered a spot but haven't yet accepted it. It does include rookie points and Chairman's teams that have already won.

If you prefer, you can also see the list specifically at this link:
http://district.firstwa.org/PNW/2014/PNCMP (or by using the event results tab).

Since it is public information now, I can say that we invited 40 teams yesterday. All have accepted except for 2411, 4450 and 4918. We will release the rest of the invitations after the results of the final event are final. (We should be showing the numbers at the end of the awards ceremony at OSU, but I don't guarantee it)

How did you sort the list of teams that have been invited? I'm not asking how you determined who was invited but the order they are listed on the DCMP page as it does not seem to follow any reasoning, it is not by team number, alphabetical order, or current points total.

It looks like every team down to rank 38, with 69 points. The 2 below that are both chairman's award winners.

I think he is asking specifically about within that page, what order are they sorted by. The answer is random. Normally, the event detail pages will sort by performance from that event. This means that a team playing a third event will still show what they *would* have received from that event (even though it doesn't count in the total rankings). However, unlike the main rankings, we do not use the tie-breaker criteria within the event detail pages. There is no particular reason other then that it doesn't matter what order they finish on that page, since the tie breakers only apply to the overall rankings. So it will default to the 10th sorting level, random sort. Until teams start to accumulate points from that event, it will just be a big pile of team numbers.

We will be releasing some changes on Thursday that will improve the overall readability of certain things, like "upcoming" events, but for now we aren't planning on any changes to that sorting order for "upcoming" events.

As you identified in an earlier post, the teams will only show on that page when FIRST HQ confirms they have completed the registration process for the event.

Yes that was what I was wondering about and now that you put it that way it makes perfect sense that they are random to avoid more coding that would sort them in a manner other than the sorts used in ranking.

Thanks again for all your hard work putting this together, entering the data and keeping us up to date with the changes.

I can't wait! We are super excited to be going!
