Would be interesting to clump together some of the old corporate teams. Do you think that is even remotely possible this year?

Not knowing anything about FIRST's rationale for divisional sorting, I suppose anything's possible. Consider this my pitch for seeing something like this - I would love seeing the other Delphi 40's in my division.

Including the honorary ghost of Team 46....

How many teams did you use? That showing is different then what the TBA is showing as the prediction?

TBA shows 323 teams (which will increase over the next few days, no doubt). That's the list I used......again, for FUN.

Ya I know we're going and that will move almost everybody. We qualified at the MI State championship.

[EricLeifermann]

its not that big of a change you'll only move every body after you one space, every body after you will still be together in the same divisions as they were before you signed up.

Any periodic sorting should give a nice stackup of teams in each division. This is due to two factors:
1) there is no correlation between team number (mod 4) and effectiveness.
2) there are a LOT of impressive teams this year

That being said, I hope we end up somewhere other than Newton, but only because it is the furthest field from the pit, and it takes a LONG time to walk all the way around the dome every time.

Actually it's second closest. Archimedes is furthest followed by Curie, Newton and Galileo

I've changed the script to color teams who have won three or more events solid red. Team 67 was messing things up.

The red outline doesn't standout enough to me, could you highlight them another way. Maybe a blue back ground?

If you win Championship, you will also break the signature banner bar.

Fun Historical Fact:
The sig bar used to only display 4 events. It was modified to display 5 after 1114 participated in 3 regionals, a division, and made it to Einstein last year.

So if they win a Division, they'll break the bar. You might want to look into giving it the option to display 6... And I thought it was 217 breaking the bar.

FIRST: We don't raise the bar, we say "What bar?" as we go through it.

MI rankings are up!

Can anyone add the Auto Qualifiers from MN, MI, and Atlanta nominees 1-15 (65 won and is included as #7, should take 14 total) as from the FiM rankings and make a speculative Division prediction list?

P.S. Sorry to The Suspects (team 440) for a typo in my last post in The waiting list thread listing 410 not 440 as qualifying. Congrats on your EI award and spot at Champs!
