Highest Litter Scores

For your edification, here are the highest litter scores at Regionals through Week 5. Since different Regionals don't play the same number of matches, the following is an average per match at a given Regional.

Rank Average Team Regional
1....... 33.9... 3959.. Bayou
2....... 33.0... 1723.. Colorado
3....... 31.5... 5415.. Mexico City
4....... 30.1... 1114.. Waterloo
5....... 29.6.... 192.. Utah
6....... 28.5... 2036.. Colorado
7....... 27.2... 4009.. Central Illinois
8....... 26.8... 3158.. Mexico City
9....... 26.8... 3506.. North Carolina
10..... 26.4... 1410.. Colorado

It is interesting to note that 6 of the top 10 scores came at high elevation events, Denver, Utah, and Mexico City. Guess noodles fly farther through thin air.

Re: Highest Litter Scores

I don't know if you were counting districts, but we averaged 26.5 per match (best at Hartford).
We don't try to noodle our cans, but our human player is getting better at better at throwing them (including throwing noodles into scored stacks).
He's earned names like the Noodle Whisperer, the Noodle Messiah, Noodle Jesus, etc

At RIDE during week 4, 2168's human player had a 29.5 average, with some perfect 40 point matches.

Re: Highest Litter Scores

Jacob was able to achieve his average at sea level in NO. I wonder how he'll do "at elevation" in Knoxville.

Re: Highest Litter Scores

You are right, I only looked at Regionals, not Districts. I will put together an amended list and post it as soon as possible.

This data is interesting, but its utility and your conclusion are questionable unless 'canned litter' and 'thrown litter' points can be separated. Maybe it has been already?

Re: Highest Litter Scores

Interestingly enough, my team had the highest litter points at the Finger Lakes Regional, with a total of 195. That only averages out to 17.2 per match in qualifications, yet FLR was a very competitive regional this year. I'm wondering why that is when other regionals with lower overall QA's had much better top litter scores. Maybe those top teams (in terms of litter score) are outliers?

Mind doing this for the lowest scores?

Re: Highest Litter Scores

I'm almost certain this is total litter score, including bins and thrown litter. So I'm not sure it has any utility at all. Except my team is near the top, so I like it very much.

I can put together a similar list of lowest scores, sure. Might not be the most "gracious" thing, but it could be enlightening.

2 of the top 3 PNW scores are at 'mountain' events...Glacier Peak and Mt. Vernon. Coincidence? No way.

Re: Highest Litter Scores

Per request, here is a list of the lowest per-match Litter scores at a Regional or District.

Rank Score Team Event
1....... 0.1... 148.. Dallas
2....... 0.7...2170.. NE Waterbury
3....... 0.9...4845.. Lake Superior
4....... 0.9...3461.. NE Waterbury
5....... 1.0...5143.. Lake Superior
6....... 1.2...3350.. Dallas
7....... 1.3...1124.. NE Waterbury
8....... 1.3....987.. Dallas
9....... 1.3...4818.. Lake Superior
10..... 1.3....236.. NE Waterbury
11..... 1.3...1071.. NE Waterbury
12..... 1.4...2897.. Dallas

What we can take from this is there wasn't as much noodle action in Week 1, which produced all of these scores.

So, let's put the data to some better use. First of all, the litter scores generally increased week by week. Here is the average of the lowest and highest litter score at each event week by week:

Week 1: 34.2 / 202.6
Week 2: 54.2 / 239.4
Week 3: 55.2 / 227.3
Week 4: 67.3 / 282.6
Week 5: 70.3 / 263.5

The average high Litter score was 246, while the average low score was 58.

The scores also varied widely between events. For example, the lowest scores at Mexico City (140) and PNW Central Washington (130) were higher than the highest score at Dallas (117), Waterbury (110), and New York (128).

Interestingly, not all low Litter scorers were bad teams. In fact, 3 of the low scorers (out of 88) ended up ranked #1: 148 at Dallas, 33 at FIM Southfield, and 125 at NE Rhode Island. However, scoring high is always helpful: 17 of the high Litter scorers ranked #1, and 9 were ranked #2.

The average Rank of the high Litter scorer at each event was 7.9, while for the low Litter scorer, it was 29.6. So on average, higher ranked teams did better (not surprisingly).

The average team number for the high Litter scorer was 2490, while for low scorers it was 2929. So it skews a bit toward older teams, but not much.

What's it all mean? Litter points are helpful, but you can have a successful strategy that doesn't rely heavily on them.
