2014 Chairman's Submission Stats

[BigJ]

Hi all,

I was interested in seeing this data as well, so I took Karthik's reccomendation and made a Google Doc for us to crowdsource interesting data about 2014 regional/district submissions.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

I have already placed each regional and district. If you have accurate information on a regional or district, please fill in:

• The number of teams that attended the event
• The number of teams that submitted for Chairman's Award at the event
• The winner for Chairman's at the event
• The number of submissions that team made in 2014 before winning, including the current one (ex. All week 1 winners made 1 submission. Teams who won on their 2nd try made 2 submissions).

Most of this data is freely available on TBA, the main unknowns are # of teams submitting at each event, and the number of submissions each winner did. So if you or anyone you know knows that information, it would be awesome.

EDIT: Fixed the permissions, sorry!

I know that this year we had 3 teams who won the Chairman's Award present at the Virginia Regional, and all won on their second submission. 1086, 1629, and 422. 422 had submitted at Alamo, while 1086 submitted at VA and won at Queen City and Chesapeake respectively.

I'll see if I can get through a mutual contact with the RD for the number of teams submitting, but I guess it had to be around 20. For now, I'll just add this to my list of "statistics that FRC could easily provide for interesting edification of its teams." :/

I'll update most (or all) of the winners/amount of regionals attended before the win, not sure about the submitting counts though.

11 did win it at their first regional, but they competed at two districts earlier in the season.

District teams have to choose whether they are doing Chairman's in or out of Districts iff I understand the rulebook correctly -- they didn't present at any Districts if they won it at a regional.

As far as I know, there is no rule that a district team must choose to present exclusively at either districts or regionals, only that they can't present at any event after they've already won it.

That being said, 11 did not present chairman's at either of our district events this year.

Yep, definitely misunderstood the rule. I was looking up how it was handled in a number of years past this year so that's what I may have been thinking of.

My bad! (God I can't wait until we're all in districts)

I could have swore that on FRC Gamesense, Jim Zondag said that 27 submitted Chairman's at the Minnesota regional they went to and that didnt allow them to submit Chairman's in district. If I am misremembering him I am sorry.

27 won at the regional and was therefore ineligible to present at future events in general, including districts or any other regionals they went to. Had they not won at the regional, I'm pretty sure they could still submit in districts afterwards until they did win.

Oh ok. I didnt know they had won.

They also did not submit it in MAR.

We don't even have half of the slots filled in for submitter estimates, but one thing I'm finding CRAZY is that noone has a number or estimate above 20 except for the WI regional which had 40,

(proof https://twitter.com/EvanHochstein/st...324032/photo/1)

Though, I remember one year WI had 25 submitters when you could only pick one regional, so...'

I also want to thank everyone that has contributed information so far.

I am curious, has anyone compiled data of the teams who submitted at multiple events and have won Chairmans in the past? I am curious to see if submitting at multiple regionals made a difference... Like if they won this year at the same event they won last year?
