Qualification Schedule

[MARS_James]

After looking at our schedule for championship I realized in 8 of our 10 matches we have an alliance partner with a number of 4000+ I looked a little closer at team numbers and schedule. So upon taking the average of our opposing alliances numbers I received 2086.22 when I took our alliance partners numbers I found it to be 2949.45 but when taking the average when factoring in our own low number of 179 it drops the average down to 2025.96, I was wondering if any other teams at championship discovered that our "random" schedule may just be averaging the team numbers, or something similar?

Please note I am not mad about our alliance partners thus far, and this is not meant to be an insult to any of the great teams we have gotten to work with thus far or will work with in the coming days I am just interested if this is a happenstance or the common

Since there isn't much better to do at 5 A.M. during finals week, I crunched these numbers real quick on Excel.

Average of Team Numbers:
Curie - 2526.8
Archimedes- 2637.57
Galileo - 2337.01
Newton - 2449.87
Championship - 2487.8125

I wouldn't find it surprising that a majority of matches have an average of team numbers in the 2000's. The parameters of the algorithm used for schedule making has been released. That combined with the way divisions were selected this year, it statistically makes sense that most matches would have a robot with a 4000+ team number.
