2005 Divisions Announced

[Karthik]

Some more stats.

Same as before, but no repetition allowed. i.e. Number of Regional Champions per division. If a team won twice, you only count once. If a team was a champion and a finalist, they only count as a finalist. This will give a better idea of how many "elite" level teams are in each divison.

(Thanks to Bill Moore for the suggestion)

Regional Champions

Archimedes: 25
Curie: 10
Galileo: 21
Newton: 17

Finalists:

Archimedes: 13
Curie: 7
Galileo: 9
Newton: 8

Never count out the underdog! Team 93 + Boilermaker Regional = 41st seed to the finals in 4 matches. The champs may come from someplace other than Archimedes. Although I personally hope not since our team is in Archimedes.

Good luck to all and safe travels to Atlanta next week!

Archimedes is the epsilon delta.....
Not quite as good

Wow, Arch is stacked, at least we get a good show once we get knocked out of the competition

Hey now I'm excited, I know a bunch of teams in our division now! Yay...341, 365, 433, 190, etc.

Hmm...and I don't think stats mean much...anything can happen.

Yes... and Newton's Canadian team is.. Sandwiched.. among many American teams...... *cough* ("Club Sandwich" just doesn't have the same effect).

Anyways, I know lots of people on our team will be kind of upset that we have been separated from ALL of the other Canadian teams, but it will be really fun to meet all the other people in this division. I believe we have only played with two other teams in this division before (639 and 1511) and all three of us went to both Finger Lakes and Greater Toronto. I'm really excited to see Code Red and Rrrrolllling Thunder for a third time this year . Edit: Oh! 340 is also with us . I just noticed that.

I am definitely going to come by and see all the other Canadians there since we won't be playing alongside them! I'm crawling out of my skin in anticipation for this... I can't wait.

By the way, are the pits divided into the divions as well? And are all divisions in the same building?

I feel that Newton is going to pown all!

[Tytus Gerrish]

WooT!

[Kyle]

I cant wait for Nats now!!!! Its going to be the hotness in Galileo Division
25 47 56 103 316 358 365 and it just keeps getting better...
Now 25 will get a chance to trade paint with MOE again, I cant wait..
good luck to all

Yes pits are divided into divisions, but all are in the same room (usually at least).

Looks like there will be some tough competition in Curie, but Archimedes does look pretty stacked.

Good luck in Atlanta,

229

P.s. 8 days, 19 hours, and 45 minutes (from this post) until 229 departs for Atlanta.

DarkJedi613 is right! Stats mean nothing to me. I dunno, a non-winning regional team can take it all! wOOt!! Anyways, I'm not bragging. Good luck to all teams!

[geeknerd99]

Well, as I've said before with the predicted divisions, the VCU champions are all in the same division. This occur in any of the other divisions?

[sgsdragons]

This is going to be fun. I just noticed that both our alliance team members from the Pacific Northwest Regional are on a division together(Galileo) while our team, 1595, is on Newtons division. I guess it will be good though. See you there!!!
