[TBA]: Division simulator

[Leav]

I only remember this from 2008, but is there a simulator for the division between the divisions?

I remember you could use either straight or serpentine to simulate either choice by FIRST.

Seeing that Week 5 doesn't end until April 3rd, and there are rumors that teams on the wait list won't hear about openings until the 7th, I'd guess that divisions won't be out until sometime around the 12th.

I agree with this. I bet it will only be a day or so before the event, as they want to make sure that all teams have paid and are coming, so not to mess up the divisions.

The lists are usually posted the Tuesday before the Championships.

I could/probably will spin a version for this year's attendee list. It probably won't be right (like Greg mentioned), but it's still fun to look at it.

Usually posted the Wednesday before Championships and last year the algorithm was seemingly random

In 2002 through 2004 the divisions were released the Tuesday 9 days before the beginning of the championship. That ended up ranging anywhere from before the last regional ended (2003) to 10 days after the last regional ended (2002).

In 2005, the divisions were released on a Monday, 10 days before the beginning of the championship (9 days after the end of the last regionals).

In 2006, the divisions were released on a Friday, 13 days before the beginning of the championship (13 days after the end of the last regionals).

In 2007-2009, the divisions were released on a Wednesday, 8 days before the beginning of the championship (3-4 days after the end of the last regionals).

I searched for the post I made last year with the same information. That was derived from the post I made the year before, and the year before that, etc.

Ummmmmmmm..... pardon my ignorance but why isn't there any rookie teams in this?

EDIT: For that matter, why does championships not appear on my signature?
