[Qbranch]

Does anyone know where all the division userbars are?

Archimedes: 987/1024 over 71/365
Curie: 16/67 over 33/118
Galileo: 25/103 over 217/1114 (or 254/330?)
Newton: 233/968 over 111/175

Whoever wins Galileo wins it all. Somebody else joins Beatty in the multiple win club.

You heard it here first.

You forgot to add a third partner in Newton.......233/968/359.
We actually were all together in a match for an epic 138 score!
As the Hawaiians would say.....Hana Hou! (One more time!)

[IbleedPink233]

That was pretty sweet. . .
Seems that people are forgetting that 2056 is in Newton, as well. They have been a dominating team this year, as well.

Read the disclaimer in the initial post on this thread.

This info is coming from the official FIRST team list, but until they post the team lists for each division to the "Championship Event Info" page, you can't consider it to be truly official.

Knowing everyone's penchant to refresh the team list every five minutes around this time of year, it would be extreme folly for FIRST to populate the division column of the team list and let the entire world view it if they weren't 100% certain that information was final and valid.

Rochester is gonna ROCK Curie!!!

Careful now, wasn't Curie stacked last year with have 16, 34, 48, 67, 118, 330, 469, 910, and 1114
and didn't Newton end up winning the whole thing?

[Dan Richardson]

and newton was stacked the year before, and archimedes ended up taking it home. Its hard to pick against stacked divisions, but many times what happens is the super teams get broken up because of a 1st seeder thats not quite up to par with the rest. Decent team, with some decent luck = super alliance breaker uppers. But there may just be too many good teams to see this happen.

[MDiff]

Archimedes watchers should also look out for RUSH (27)

As for Curie last year...
interesting things happened.

[Nawaid Ladak]

i think gali will have the best matches, but in the end, newton will win it.... as much as i hate to say that, all the key stats that i look at say that.... look in the OPR thread for more info

[Akash Rastogi]

Wow, for my first year going to Championships, this is looking to turn into an awesome time thanks to all of these amazing teams. Can't wait to see you all. Good luck everyone

God, I hope you're right. I'm just glad that with how stacked Galileo is that only 2 of the powerhouses will make it out alive to continue on to Einstein, evening the field a little. (unless one of them somehow makes it around to a 2nd round pick). There are going to be uber-strong alliances coming out of every division. Now it's time to go crazy waiting for the match list!!!! Only 6 more days until I get to head down!!!!!

[George A.]

Ok we got some going earlier...but here's the question

Which 3 team alliance would you like to see represent your division on Einstein?

A couple guidelines:

1) Of course we'd like to see our own team up there, but leave that to other people to decide. Vote for someone else, spread the love

2) Make them "Realistic". What I mean, we all know that 365, 1124, and 1024 aren't going to be on an alliance together (no offense to these teams...but there's no way that one of those three will be around for the second round).

Any thoughts?

[Guy Davidson]

A 987/1124/66 alliance would be very, very scary. 365/1024, 27/71, and 365/525 would also be very strong combos.

EDIT: Above is for Archi. For Galileo, wow. This is almost impossible. As well as I'd think we'd complement most alliances as a third member, I'll refrain for now. Any combination of two of 1114/330/217/254/103/25/469/1717/195 scares me. And to think, it's likely we'll see 4 of those in the eliminations :O And, I haven't mentioned 121, 494, 70, 40, 1629, 343, 1540, ... Wow. What a division. If 148 is still around on the third round, it would make a valuable 3rd alliance member. 980 also showed they know what they're doing as a complement to two hurdlers, as did 84.
