It sucks that you guys started with more slots than you would be allowed under districts...leading to the perception you're losing slots. But fair is fair. |

Re: FRC Blog - District Slot Allocations at 2015 FIRST Championship
Did Indiana get shafted by the District allocation formula? Not even close. Indiana just didn't get enough new teams started this year to keep ahead of the rest of the country (and it looks like one has dropped out in the last week).
The idea of retroactive wildcards seems very messy. I don't like it. |

Veteran teams not competing in 2015..... 3301 - a 2014 championship qualifier 4070 4545 4690 4927 Rookie teams added for 2015: 5402 5403 5484 Had we retained everyone and added the three rookie teams we would have gotten an extra slot. |

Additionally, plenty of teams sign up for 3rd District events that don't help qualification (although these are cheaper). Quote:
Under the current system a bad team could win a weak regional, not earn enough points to qualify in-district, and still go to champs instead of a more deserving team with more points. Imagine if this took place in a regional system. A team wins a weak regional elsewhere. Then, at their 'home' regional, they lose in the finals and one of the winners doesn't qualify. It makes no sense. |

Re: FRC Blog - District Slot Allocations at 2015 FIRST Championship
Could someone please explain this statement from the FIRST website?
"Top Ranked teams at the 2015 District Championships that are not one of the 9 Merit Based Teams." Chairmen's Award Engineering Inspiration Rookie All Star Winning Alliance (3 spots) Where do the other three merit spots come from? If this is correct there will be no open slots in Indiana after merit slots are awarded. |

So no matter what, districts will get exactly their allocation (plus the # of prequalified teams), while regionals need to pray that district teams don't come and eat one of their slots for no gain. It can also hurt the district, either by skewing distribution of slots, or by qualifying teams who woudn't have qualified after attending the DCMP. Easy solutions is to: 1. Make district teams ineligible to compete for DCA/EI/RAS at regional events. 2. Open a wildcard slot (at the regional) if a district team wins a regional event. Then: A) Take a slot away from the district's "points" slots (reasonable if they have many), and allow that team to register for WCMP OR B) Prevent district teams from qualifying via winning a regional altogether, make them do it via their DCMP (possibly harsh, but solves the "winning a weak regional" issue). District teams should be competing within their district for the award slots, full stop. The rest is pretty justifiable. Last edited by scottandme : 12-12-2014 at 18:57. |

Secondly, more non-MN teams can emerge from MN regionals than the opposite. Non-(MN, ND) teams at MN-hosted Regionals (total 27): Lake Superior - 7 North Star - 7 10000 Lakes - 5 Northern Lights - 8 counterbalanced by (MN, ND) teams at non-MN hosted Regionals: Wisconsin - 11 Others? |

I believe FIM owns at least three fields (they are running three events every week) Has anyone ever been to the deltaplex in Grand Rapids? How many fields and pits can fit? |
