2010 Regional Stats

[Mark McLeod]

Michigan State really proved that practice makes perfect. Every team there had at least two prior events under their belt and the Qualification scores were quite high.
I expect we'll see a bit of this in Atlanta...

Here are the average combined Qualification & Elimination match scores by event (blue + red alliance score).

Week 5 field performance results including all previous weeks.
So you can brag about how good your field crews were.
Seattle's record was tied by the crew working the Minnesota North Star Regional, while across the street lagged by 30 seconds per match.

Michigan was a trial version of how Championship Divisions will be run with Quals beginning on Thursday afternoon.

To keep the naming conventions consistent, I've dubbed the Thursday afternoon session at the Michigan State Championships as Session 0.

There was an anomaly in the North Carolina data in which match 23 shows a start time two hours after the last other match concluded Friday. I've given them the benefit of the doubt and discounted it from the averages, but I'm very curious as to the story there.

On the whole, the week 4 and 5 regionals put on a very strong performance, in terms of turnaround time. Troy District turned in another precision performance with every reset at 7 or 8 minutes. Seattle broke Arizona's half-day record by 3 seconds per match on Saturday morning, those regionals being the only two to maintain an average below 6 minutes for an entire session.

Thanks to all the queuing and field crews across the country who have done their best to keep things moving. Good luck Atlanta volunteers!

I'd guess that it was a replay, caused by a field fault, and run at the very end of the day on Friday to keep everything else on schedule. Good idea to not count it.

[Mark McLeod]

All Championship fields had:

• 86 teams
• 144 total matches
• 10 matches per team

Don't know what the target match turn-around times were, so can't say how close to the target each of the fields was.

------------ Avg match ---- Avg Qual ---- Avg Elim
Field --------- cycle --------- Score ------ Score

Archimedes - 0:06:24.9 -------- 15.6 -------- 25.8
Curie -------- 0:06:16.4 -------- 14.6 -------- 24.1
Galileo ------ 0:06:12.0 -------- 13.8 -------- 22.8
Newton ----- 0:06:00.0 -------- 13.0 -------- 25.9

Einstein ----- 0:18:40.0--------- n/a -------- 29.3


The average elimination score for all fields is on a par with the Michigan State event, so it seems this represents the optimum scores that can be expected from Breakaway! after teams have gained experience at a couple of regional/district events.

I think you spelled Einstein wrong.

[Mark McLeod]

Thanks

[vhcook]

Per session cycle times for Championships, where 0 is Thursday night, 1 is Friday morning, and so on:

Session......0........1........2........3
Archimedes...0:06:21..0:06:13..0:06:18..0:06:35
Curie........0:06:28..0:05:46..0:06:20..0:06:06
Galileo......0:06:08..0:06:00..0:06:06..0:06:22
Newton.......0:05:58..0:05:39..0:06:04..0:06:02

I took a look at the match schedule on Thursday before most had run, and it appeared they were targeting 6 minute turnaround.

[Mark McLeod]

One last note...
I related this year's event match turnaround and scores with previous year's.
A jump in #matches offered to teams while the # teams per event has stayed fairly constant. Championship match cycles are understandably lower, since everyone (drive teams, field staff) have experience in the new yearly game. Einstein scores are typically much higher than those seen at early events.

Scores are per Alliance.

[Jared Russell]

It looks like you used the average single-alliance score for all data points but Einstein in 2010, where it looks like you used the sum of both alliances.

[Mark McLeod]

It looks like I forgot to divide all the scores by 2 for 2010. I'll go through them and fix those in a minute.

Thanks.
