Re: 2008 Championship Division Predictions

It looks like all teams are in and accounted for. So, how will they decide who goes where?

The FIRST website has 337 teams listed, but the TBA website has 339 teams listed. Odd (no pun intended ). But I would think that they would have 340 teams before setting divisions - since that would put 85 teams in each division. Either way, can't wait until they come out!

TBA has teams 1872 and 2070 listed that are not on FIRST's site. I wonder if they had to drop out?

Fixed it. The script is set to scrape FIRST every 2 hours. This worked fine before, but teams will be registering at a higher rate now, so I will change it.

Re: 2008 Championship Division Predictions

Also interesting to note that in the pit map just released, there are 86 pit spots per division (yes, I counted two of them! - haha). So they could be waiting until 344 teams are signed up...

Re: 2008 Championship Division Predictions

Speaking of the pit map....

It seems we've lost half the space we previously had. Nice and cozy pits indeed.

Seems that way, but we've taken over where the FTC and FLL pits used to be (seems they've moved to a new building). It'll certainly be an interesting fit with a car show next to us.

Re: 2008 Championship Division Predictions

It has to be getting close. Using ABCD, DCBA 1024 and 1114 are both in Galileo. Should be one tough division if it stands. Can not wait until final divisions are anounced.

Re: 2008 Championship Division Predictions

I don't want to be in that division, I fear it may self implode!

edit: after carefully looking at all four divisions (using serpentine) I have to say that they look more balanced than ever (despite the fact that 1114 and 1024 are in the same one). Galileo and Curie look epic and Newton and Archimedes look outstanding as well.

I don't know about that. I have seen empty pit spaces...so that isn't necessarily true.

Oh, no doubt. There is a possibility they won't fill it to capacity. But you never know.

Re: 2008 Championship Division Predictions

If the current list turns out to be the final one, Team 233 will have been in the same division 8 or 9 consecutive years. The odds of that happening are long indeed.

Re: 2008 Championship Division Predictions

They are probably not waiting for a set number of teams to register. Rather, teams on the waiting list have been given a specific time frame in which to reply to the offer to register. They need to wait for that to happen.

And as I recall, didn't they in a past year append a couple of late registrations to the end of the list, after they did the great shuffle assignment?
