2010 Regional Stats

[Nawaid Ladak]

I remember seeing Seattle and Oregon on the top of a simular turnaround list last year. It seems like the Pacific Northwest has some great volunteers that really know how to work the field

Coincidentally, I've been doing the same thing today.

I've broken down the turnaround times by day section on the qualification matches. For a normal regional, session 1 is Friday morning, session 2 is Friday afternoon, and session 3 is Saturday morning.

2----Israel Regional--------------21:24.00---15:00.00--------------17:22.22

X----Overall Average--------------09:29.40---08:03.60---07:31.20---08:12.00

X----Average (without Israel)-----09:04.80---07:49.20---07:31.20---07:59.40

You can see the improvement through many of the events. Arizona managed to get to a blistering pace of 5:45.00 by Saturday morning.

Looking at this has also changed my opinion of Kansas City for the better. As an attendee and volunteer, it felt like we were way behind all day Friday. When you look at the statistics like this, we were attempting more matches than any other regional so far and maintaining a very good match turnaround time relative to the rest of the country.

Can you factor Israel out of the average?

Sure. I've edited accordingly.

Starting six matches behind can really make you move quickly... Arizona's Session 3 is including a double-length field reset due to the field router going down suddenly.

Speed demons: Session 1, Kansas City; Session 2, Florida; Session 3, Arizona; Overall, Oregon

Arizona started slow and gained pace in the afternoon. About 3:15, the inspectors finally finished, so I wandered out to watch a few matches. I spent the rest of the afternoon following the FTA around with a stopwatch to tell him when extra speed was needed in a reset. Did that Saturday morning, too, and the speeds went really high--one of the queuers told me there was a 5-minute turnaround. Then I had to go inspect some more (we started elims inspections at something like 10:30-11:00).

The AZ inspectors were really thinking ahead. They knew that we had been to San Diego, so they were in our pit as soon as the robot was unpacked and on the cart, asking if we were ready to inspect. Saturday, they had us inspected for elimination, before the last matches were completed. Thanks to all the volunteers that make the competitions happen.
