I noticed this also - it's always off by some multiple of 6. (Our score average was low by 24 points for example.) I'm sure there is some reason - I don't know what it is.

I would also like to thank team 5172 The Gators and 4786 Nicolet F.E.A.R. for being great alliance partners. You guys definitely deserved to go to champs. Also congrats to team 2500 Herobotics for winning Engineering Inspiration and 5464 The Blue Jackets for winning Rookie All-Star. To 5464, I hope you enjoy your first time going to champs. It is truly an inspiring experience. I had a great time during my last Northern Lights Regional as a student and would like to thank all of the great volunteers at the event and all of the field crew for doing there best to get the FMS up and running.

OK, since you're going to be Mr. Modest Minnesotan, let me add congratulations to 2512 on winning Team Spirit, Woodie Flowers, Dean's List, Chairman's and making it to the finals.

Oh, and you averaged 17.8 auton points per qualification match, which may be the high for the weekend as 624 and 987 in Texas "only" managed 14.4 and 14.0 auton points per qualification match. I still think you deserve an engineering award for that too.

Do either of you have pictures of these discrepancies or remember which match(es) they occurred in?

It might be:

For teams that played, or will play, 7 matches, the 3rd match does not count towards the average (only 6 matches are averaged). Seems like the column totals are for all 7 matches.

Also, foul points would affect the average, but may not be in the columns.

At Northern lights, there were 60 teams and no surrogate matches were played. The same would have been true on Lake Superior with 63 teams. Each team played 9 qualification matches and all of them should have counted towards averages.

The FRC stats page at http://frc-events.usfirst.org/2015/MNDU/rankings is not up to date. But you will notice that there is no column for fouls, and with each foul being 6 points that would explain the "off by six" issues.
