2015 Tesla Division

[Rypsnort]

If that schedule stays there will be two Cyberhawks teams on the same alliance for a match. Qual 49

The responses to this form will be shared with everyone who submits a response so that team mentors will be able to get in touch and facilitate communication between teams more easily.

2015 Tesla Division Scouting Contacts

This is a great idea and 3132 "Thunder Down Under" will definitely participate. However, so that none of our fellow Tesla-ites incur overseas phone charges, we are going to wait until we arrive in USA and get a US-based phone number to share with everyone. It's a bit expensive to be calling our Aussie cell phones, otherwise. I imagine 4481 Rembrandts (from Netherlands) will have a similar issue.

Considering we have Superman and Batman watching over our field perhaps we should keep up with the Superhero theme and just shout "SHAZAM!" at the beginning of each match (Shazam = Lightning. Tesla = electricity. It's a long shot, I know).

You can go ahead and submit an email address only so you can have access to the list, then just submit again when you get a phone number.

So far we have contact info from 13 different teams. (2950 please submit again with an email address so I can share the document with you!)

IF this Qualification schedule holds up, I really want to watch match 72. It may end up better than most Elimination Matches with 1025 3824 1658 vs. 340 2481 48

Looks like 48 and 624 have the more favorable schedules with 226, 2054, and 1523 not too bad. Not sure how I feel about 1806 or our schedules. We'll see if these are the final schedules.

Actually, according to Evan Forbes website, we have a negative rank difference, indicating a slightly harder schedule, when compared with teams like 2122 and 1403. Will have to see how the matches play out, but I agree 1806 has a difficult schedule.

You noticed Match #72 too, huh?

I'm not complaining about our schedule - I think it rated a +2. Hope it holds up!

Based on predictions, analysis, and several simulations, it does look like we're going to have an uphill battle. The good news for us being that the QA system keeps a strength of schedule gap from being nearly insurmountable.

Regardless, we're looking forward to competing on the Tesla field with 75 other great teams.

I never said you guys have a good schedule. Just "more favorable" than lets say... SWAT.
