Re: Hardest Regional
A quick way of calculating that might be to parse the teams history from the FIRST web page. So for example, to find all blue banners won by 1114 since 2005 I could write:
Code:
curl -Ls frclinks.com/t/1114 | grep ".*200[5-9].*[A-z].*Cha"| grep -v "[\^\<]" Quote:

If I figured out the BBQ and SAUCE for Las Vegas correctly, they come out to 1.92 and 1.11 respectively based on teams currently registered. It is also a deep field with no team having more than 20% of the SAUCE points. ALL of the powerhouse teams of the West Coast will be there. I am glad I'm not working this one. It will be one to watch. There should be at least two good robots in every match. |

Re: Hardest Regional
If it helps any Billfred... in exchange for your post making me EXTREMELY hungry for roast meat...
I think I have properly calculated the BBQ and SAUCE for both the Philadelphia and Washington D.C. Regionals [based on the current attending teams list and awards listings from the FIRST site.] Washington D.C.
Philadelphia
(I can send you my excel spreadsheet if needed) |

Re: Hardest Regional
Gotta steal a corny line from a friend, but I loves me some BBQ SAUCE.

Either way, Las Vegas is looking great. The kids on 973 have been pretty sheltered from some real tough competition (with the exception of Vegas last year, which is looking weak compared to this year) and it looks like this will open their eyes. |

Nothing against the RCA, but the fact that a team wins that award doesn't seem to be an indicator to me that they are tougher to beat on the field. It would be fantastic if someone (with more time than me) would run the data for all the regionals checking for Regional Champions, & Regional Finalists. I bet this data would help someone create a more accurate picture. -John |

The BBQ Silver rating and SAUCE Silver (Silver = Finalist included, no CAs) for L.A. are now at the following: 48 teams, 54 total winners and finalists, 37 2005 and later. BBQS of 1.12, SAUCES of 0.77. Same teams at or near the top of the list. Still doesn't create a balanced picture, though--older teams tend to have a higher number of banners/medals than newer ones, though at L.A. there are some newer teams that have a nice high count. The two teams that share the top medal/banner counts are two of the oldest three or four teams in the area, and certainly the two oldest continuous ones that have stayed at the same schools. The next two or three are mid-range--they've been around a few years, but maybe only about half the time or less of the older ones. |

well the teams robot is not the only aspect of competition and i think it was a good decision to include that in there because they might have a solid robot but lost the regional for other reasons |

Re: Hardest Regional
I disagree. Just because a team has won a chairmans award does not mean that they are a powerful team out on the field. JVN is correct on this one.

Re: Hardest Regional
If we are looking at pure large no. of great teams at one regional, midwest and Florida comes to mind. Pure intimidation to say the least.
NJ has a lot of great teams too, led by who else, team 25. ![]() Finally, any regional that the Poofs attend on the West Coast, especially SVR, with its veteran group of teams. We all know who leads the Canadians. Hawaii was very tough last year, but very different this year with the lack of veteran presence that signed up. |

Re: Hardest Regional
I have attached a plain text file that contains SAUCE for every regional and a break down of what teams contributed. This data was pulled directly from the first website. I will re-run this once teams are finalized. Please note, it is organized by the codes FIRST refers to the regionals as, ex Arizona is AZ
Enjoy. |

Re: Hardest Regional
And according to that file, Detroit wins for toughest SAUCE. Toughest open to all teams: Las Vegas (NV), with 48 banners, 39 teams. Biggest contributors are the "usual" West Coast "suspects" + team 1266.
