Newton looks like it will be the division to watch. I'm looking forward to see who comes out on top. Also, I'd imagine qualifications will have a lot of fun matches.

Just out of curiosity, are you saying it requires 30 minutes of computer time to do the calculations?

Nope, but it required more than 30 minutes to parse the data out of the PDF and double check all the numbers.

I was a bit surprised to see the schedules released in a form that is so hard to manipulate without manually regenerating the schedule in another format. I see TBA does not have the match schedules up yet, I'm guessing they are also not available on the FIRST API, which would make it easier to process.

They are not going to host the unofficial schedules as FIRST asked until they are official.

^ This. FIRST has asked us not to post match schedules until they are official.

This makes practical sense, but it's unfortunate that there isn't an official easily parsable source for this data for teams to use.

I've added a column to the predicted ranking tables that compares a team's OPR rank with their predicted rank to give a general idea of schedule difficulty.


Let me know if you have any ideas for other data you'd like to see on the site.

This may be a dumb question, but the negative numbers means an easier schedule comparatively, right?

Sorry it's not clear- a negative number is a relatively harder schedule. For most tables on the site, you can hover over some column titles to get a longer description.

Well, given a clock speed of 4.77 MHz, even with a math co-processor, these things take time...

Yes, Newton is THE field to watch.

A couple additions to the site:

• Division index pages: added latest OPR and "trending" indicators to see how the team's performance has changed over the season
• Division match prediction pages: add filtering option to only show matches with a particular team
