Proof that districts work: PNW

[Navid Shafa]

This year, the PNW made up 6% of teams at the Championship and we managed to bring in ~6.5% of Division Awards:

Division Finalists: 4488, 1983 and 1318.
Gracious Professionalism: 4077
Innovation in Control: 1540

The PNW also managed to have an above average seed placement, with an average Rank of ~41/100 per division.

I know the PNW has never hit Einstein, but I'd have to do some more digging, because I think we might be missing something.

Off the top of my head I know 1983 went to Division Quarters and Semis twice each with a Finals run this year. I thought that 1318 might have gone to the finals in 2009, or that Mean Machine might have gone to the finals in 2012 with 1717/469. Both went out in Semis though. I know 488 went to the Finals on Archimedes in 2009, because I remember watching it. Looking it up I saw 1510 also went to the Finals in 2005 on Curie. Are those the Finalists you are referring too? I think we might be missing one...
