2016 World High Score

[MarcD79]

I had the distinct DISPLEASURE of not being able to attend the NECHMPS. But at least I relish in the fact the my favorite team, 176, did such a phenomenal job in contributing to the World high score yesterday. I did notice that they missed a couple of shots into the high goal. I will say that they had such a run of completed goals, one after another after another! Can you imagine the score if everyone of their alliance shots went in! All in all the NECHMP scores were consistently above all the other events this weekend. GO NE!

New England -- 63 -- 150/252 -- 5.31
Mid Atlantic -- 60 -- 115/240 -- 3.49
Georgia -- 41 -- 28/164 -- 1.37

I think this helps explain the scoring difference among top tier (90th percentile) alliances in each region.

High goal shooting is the key.

I believe we have a new world high score for QUALIFICATIONS:

Qualification World High Score: 212 in Newton Q61 by 179, 708, and 1519

1 auto HG (unfortunately 1519's auto shot missed!)
20 tele HG
2 scales
22 total goals
+10 foul points

No defense played against the blue alliance. Interestingly, had this match been in eliminations it would have tied the world high score of 257 (+45 for breach and capture).

... well that was short-lived!

Qualification World High Score: 227 in Newton Q65 by 16, 2614, and 3620

2 auto HG
15 tele HG
2 scales
18 total goals
Defeated all defenses
+30 foul points

If this match were in eliminations it would've had a high score of 272 (+45 for breach and capture)!

30 foul points?!? What did the other alliance do??!!!

Edit: and could someone post a link? I really want to see this.

So I see a 275 in Carver Quarterfinals 3 match 2.
Is that the high score?

Or does the 289/0 in Newton semifinal 1 match 2 take the prize?

Watching the 289 match was amazing in person. I would maybe say that it shouldn't count if the red card was game-related, but the red card was not related to the game and unfortunately took away from an amazing match. The wait to see what the referees were reviewing made most people I know a bit anxious to see what happened, which made everything even more exciting. The atmosphere was fantastic and this match was one of the highlights of the World Championships for me. I had tons of fun hanging out with friends on the team, meeting other teams, seeing some amazing robots, and competing. Makes me even more motivated to work as hard as possible to get back next year.

The highest score (without penalty points) was in Quarterfinal match 1-2 on Hopper with a score of 270. It was an amazing experience to be able to play on that alliance. 24 high goals!
