Re: NEforecast: New England District Championship

1 558 195 2877
2 1519 133 5687
3 78 125 228
4 1058 2168 3467
5 177 230 126
6 319 1768 166
7 238 155 2067
8 5813 4564 176

Obviously the rankings are very dependent on schedules when you have so many teams that can get the majority of balls needed to capture on their own. I think 558 and 195 team up at the number 1 seed like they did in 2014, but the path to the finals is even tougher. Just for fun, I'm going to look at the individual fake match ups (I'm bored and have 30 minutes until a class). These will be totally inaccurate and are just for fun, if you don't like them go prove me wrong! (and rub it in my face if you see me on saturday)

Quarterfinals:

(1) 558-195-2877 vs (8) 5813-4564-176

Despite the double climb from the 8th seed, I think 558 and 195 have enough firepower to outscore the 8th alliance. 5813 still cements their place as the best rookie robot in New England.

(4) 1058-2168-3467 vs (5) 177-230-126

A very even 4 vs 5 matchup goes to three matches and is a battle of offense only. The final match sees 1058's climber as the difference maker.

(3) 78-125-228 vs (6) 319-1768-166

This set also goes to three matches and 166 gets on a hot streak for their outer works shooting to pull out the upset.

That or 228 gets another bolt stuck in their drivetrain gearbox

(2) 1519-133-5687 vs (7) 238-155-2067

The high goal shooting prowess of the 2nd seeded alliance proves to be too much for 238's low goaling ability and 155's climb.

Semifinals:

(1) 558-195-2877 vs (4) 1058-2168-3467

1st alliance pulls out the victory in a very close set of three matches. The pure offensive power of the Cyberknights and RoboSquad proves to be too much for the 4th seed to overcome.

(2) 1519-133-5687 vs (6) 319-1768-166

6th seeded alliance pulls out another upset to make it to the finals. 1768 and 166 prove to be enough to overcome to long distance shooting of 1519 and 133, and 319's speedy low goals provide the extra boost needed to get through match 3.

Finals:

(1) 558-195-2877 vs (6) 319-1768-166

The alliances are fairly evenly matched, and 2877 ends up being the difference maker with some great defense and clutch shots at the end of the matches.

Obviously these shouldn't be taken too seriously, anything can happen once the matches start being played. I hope someone enjoyed reading this, can't wait to see the real results this weekend!
