Hampton Roads is looking like one of the most top heavy events in FRC this year (and potentially of all time) Of the 34 teams in attendance, over half (18) have NEVER played in the elimination tournament. There are 7 rookies and 1 new team that I assume is a split, so, doing math that would make PayneTrain proud, that means there are 10 teams that have consistently missed eliminations, at least SOME of them are going to be breaking that streak this weekend.






[1] It seems to be a fairly decent LF predictor actually...

CHS events are like playing a knockoff of Ontario Regional Simulator that forgot to copy the files for teams that are good enough to carry bad matches.
