Oldest first time winner: 422 (Rookie Year, 2000) 125 (Rookie Year, 1998)
Youngest first-time winner: 4013
Top 3 Highest % RCA wins/Years of Eligibility: 2486 (founded in 2008, winning 5 of 6 years eligible), 1108 (founded in 2003, winning 8 of 11 years eligible), 2169 (founded in 2007, winning 5 of 7 years eligible)

125 won at Pine Tree for the first time in their history. Unless you are only counting RCA/DCA winners.

On the spreadsheet, you have down that the number of events listed for each team. Is this number used for calculations in the sheet? If so, some of the data will be incorrect. For instance, 624 won at Alamo the 1st week and did not present again for their two remaining tournaments. 2468 presented at Alamo and Hub City. We won at Hub City but did not present at Bayou.

There are separate columns for 2014 R/D events attended ("2014 Events") and 2014 RCA/DCA submissions made ("2014 Submissions"). For example, you guys have a 2 in the Submissions column and 3 in the Events column. 624 has 1 in the submissions column and 3 in the events column.

Both are interesting numbers because you can relate winners to how many events they do per year and how many submissions they made separately.

It's not exactly by event... but here in MN 40/186 teams submitted for Chairman's this year - you can see it on the MN State Rankings page: http://mnfirst.org/docs/2014/MSHSL_2014_rev2.pdf

I'm really curious what the overall % of teams submitting for chairman's is across FIRST...

[Coach Norm]

Got it. I should pay closer attention to speadsheet.

Very interesting data. I tried to get as much data on Alamo and Hub City as I could (still trying to get more).

No problem. Thanks for the additional info.

I added the "please don't edit non-green cells" stuff only because people kept going in and adding DCMP or CMP to their "regional/district events attended" or submission count, etc. and most of the white cells are values straight from TBA.

I was. I don't really know how to classify DCA/RCA/DCCA apart from each other besides maybe evening out RCA and DCCA at the same level. I think a number of things change when you add in DCAs with RCA/DCCAs with these kinds of numbers. Would you then adjust the rate of Chairman's Awards per year since teams now in a district system have the chance to win it twice?

[BigJ]

They are clearly different paths of award progression now. RCA and DCA candidates both get to iterate their submissions now, but DCCA is still a one-shot thing (for multiple slots) like Regionals used to be. However, if our currently sparse Michigan numbers are any indication (which I am not saying they are, but it's all I have to go on) some Districts have very sparse fields of submissions (2/26 and 4/30 ).

The idea behind collecting these stats was mainly to see how the new multiple-submission rules affected the RCA/DCA wins.
