How do you rank?

[RyanMcE]

I like the idea behind the FIRST RPI. Unfortunately, FIRST's scoring system was seriously messed up for the first two weeks, and so none of the data from those two weeks can't really be trusted. It looks like you left the first two weeks of regionals out entirely.

For example, my team (492, Titan Robotics) had a 9-0-1 record at the PNW Regional, which I think might give us the top "power ranking" due to having the only lossless record.

I encourage you to keep this up for next year. Hopefully FIRST will finally figure out how to get it right (but thats another topic).

For example, you have my team, 492 (Titan Robotics Club, not Warren Robotics, btw) with a 3-7-0 record. In reality, we have a 9-0-1 record, which I think might give us the top "power ranking" due to a lossless record.

You're actually looking at rank 492:
Rank 492 Team Warren Robotics Team #829 W-L-T 3-7-0 Power 38

There does not seem to be any data from PNW.

Heh, thanks. I realized I messed up when I was looking through the rankings again, but you beat me to it.

We could only compile data from the 19 regionals that contained data on the US FIRST website, if anyone has data from regionals that we are missing, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all that posted replies and sent data, we have been able to update and fix the PeachTree, Philadelphia, and Lonestar scores as well as add the Finger Lakes, Southern California, and Arizona Regionals. Thanks to all that submitted data, and if you know where we might be able to find the other 8 data sets we'd greatly appreciate it!

Hey, I like how you have that ranking system set up, one thing I noticed though is the team ranked at 179 - Team #1503 - Spatonics. The name is actually Team #1503 - Spartonics. Just a heads up so you know.

Awesome!
Glad we could help out. See you in Atlanta!!

Excellent work. This will make everyone's scouting a lot easier.
It's also great to see where you stand in relation to everyone else.

I noticed that when your values were changed today, several teams lost their links to thier matches, and their names were completely left off:
Rank Name Number
88 Spike 293
130 Technotics 1626
269 Funkey Monkeys 846
571 Spartans X-bots 487

In addition, team 1312, Crusaders ranked 199, were listed as being named "(syntax error)"

Our match results are wrong. We are 12-11-0, not 11-14-0. Do not trust the Phoenix regional results online! They are wrong.

[EDIT]This does not include eliminations, where we were 1-4 I believe, which would put us at 13-15-0[/EDIT]

Before anybody here uses these rankings to write us off as the 88th best team in the nation, I ask you to examine our performance in our second regional, Philadelphia, and our 86 performace rating there, which would put us in the top 25 overall and 4th best in Newton.

Your formula should place the most weight on the more recent performance of each team, because that is a better reflection of how they will perform at Nationals.

Thankyou sw293, I could not agree more with you, our performance was dramatically increased at the west michigan regional (we won by the way) as opposed to our first regional at midwest. For the most part It has always been this way, in previous years.

[Joe Ross]

can you have it display the team's rank for that regional on the team summary page, as well as their rank overall?

#79!! Who hoo!!!

I like the site, its great.

[Kit Gerhart]

I'm impressed. You guys must have way too much time on your hands.
