2005 Championship Divisions!?

[R.J.]

We shall wait and see inthe upcoming weeks what the divisions for the championships will be. In the meantime, that speculated list if It turned out to be the actually list then the championships will definitely be exciting.

I am all in on that one. I have wanted to be back in the same division as the Beast since 02 when we won with them. I think they should go back to that pick 5 in a row thing. That created some interesting match ups from around the country, and what the best part was though is that a lot of the early teams that were around in 98 when the numbers were "set" were in the same divisions, so that a lot of the UTC teams, and GM teams were together, that created some good match ups in Newton that year.

BUT..... It is also hosted on 195's site so that would explain him being the author, as he wasn't linking to the FIRST website.

I'll bite and throw it back: this is inaccurate in my opinion. Assuming that the teams listed on that page are the current competitors, the Juggernauts should be in the Galileo division. The template for divisions is: Archimedes, Curie, Newton, Galileo- this has been in use since 2003. The teams are basically listed numerically and sorted by that template. (1st, 5th, 9th, and so on are in the first division; 2nd, 6th, .. in the second division; and so on) The division that start the list rotates each year. The first team numerically in both 2003 and 2004 was the Juggernauts (0001). In 03 they we placed in Curie, and last year they participated in Newton. Following the template, they should be placed in Galileo this year. Thats my $.02 analysis of the championship sorting system. Attached is my current unofficial division listing- I've been updating it since 3 months ago just to see how my team moves around as teams join in and drop out. However, through the power of coincidence, 469 has ended up in Galileo- what I expected based on my sheet.

I got the same thing....Right click save target as. Then right click on the icon where u saved it to (will save as an explorer file (mine did)) and "open with" then select excel.

That works thanks,

I like that version a lot too because we are still with some awesome teams.

[Lil' Lavery]

Nice try. One major mistake though. If you had put 116 in its proper size and bolded it I would have beleived you. =P

[whakojacko]

were not on the list (no love )

That would seem reasonable for FIRST to move to Indiana. After all, the national model airplane organization, AMA, moved to Indiana from Washington D.C. a few years ago. Land is cheap in Indiana, unlike in the northeast and middle Atlantic areas.

Galileo would be the most insane division ever.

Very similar to 02, when Newton had some of the highest caliber teams there are. We had most of the UTC teams, numerous GM teams, and the BEAST.

I don't mind Galileo if it turns out like that......

By next week it'll change alot.
I bet at least 20 teams sign up for the championship.
