Undefeated Teams at Regional Events

[EricH]

Guess I better clarify, then.

Given: Team X is in eliminations by some means.
Given: Team X is undefeated after eliminations.
Then: Team X won the event.

BTW, I thought of another case that would make my previous statement untrue:

Given: Team X is in eliminations.
Given: Team X is undefeated going into the eliminations.
At some point, Team X wins a match (we'll assume undefeated at that point too), but is too busted up to continue. Team Y is brought in as a backup to continue, and the alliance drops their next two matches.

Team X is still undefeated. (You could argue that as a member of the alliance, they took two losses, to which I say: They weren't on the field, were they? That's like saying that the [pick your baseball team] lost and a pitcher who wasn't playing that day got the loss as well as the pitcher who pitched the loss.)

22nd at WPI is basically only above robots that were significantly broken for parts of the event. WPI had 28 teams...

I think I'm going to tell my team not to show to any of our matches in Atlanta. Just to say we went undefeated at the World Championship.

As long as its not any matches with us, that is perfectly fine.

Most definately YES!

1676 was completely undefeated in Virginia, playing only 6 elimination matches to win the regional.

Either way, they were both a couple of embarrassing mistakes that Kyle Willick (The Commander) won't live down for a while.

(On the other hand, this goes down in a long line of embarrassing mistakes by Simbot coaches. In 2008, Derek Bessette had the drive team hurdle the wrong colour ball twice at the start of a match at the Midwest Regional.)

Anyways, back to the topic of undefeated teams, here is what the Simbot Research & Statistics teams has come up with:

              
Team   R Desc   Result    Record     Standings        
359   Arizona   Regional Winner   8-0-2   1         
1124   Connecticut   Regional Winner   8-0-2   1    
148   Dallas   Regional Winner   9-0-0   1       
217   Cass Tech    Regional Winner   12-0-0   1            
359   Hawaii   Regional Winner   12-0-0   1       
368   Hawaii   Regional Winner   12-0-0   2       
1732   Midwest   Regional Winner   10-0-0   2             
1986   Minnesota North Star   Regional Winner   9-0-0   2       
71   Minnesota North Star   Regional Winner   8-0-1   1       
1208   St. Louis   Regional Winner   11-0-1   1       
25   Las Vegas   Regional Winner   10-0-0   1        
1114   Greater Toronto   Regional Winner   9-0-1   1       
1114   Pittsburgh   Regional Winner   11-0-1   1       
971   Silicon Valley   Regional Winner   10-0-0   1       
254   Silicon Valley   Regional Winner   9-0-1   2       
1676   Virginia   Regional Winner   9-0-0   1          
1114   Waterloo   Regional Winner   11-0-0   1       

All this and more will be included in the 2010 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database, which will be released shortly after the announcement of the Championship divisions.

Team 2481 was undefeated (10-0-0) in qualification matches at the Wisconsin Regional. We were also the #1 seed and went undefeated through match one of finals (5-0-0). After that match we (along with our alliance partners) had "undetermined" loss of communications. Our overall record was 15-2-0. Overall, great year for a third year team. Thanks teams 706 and 3363.

I guess I ruled out any likelyhood of a team going undefeated in quals, but not making elims. Technically possible. I only searched event winners. If anyone knows of such as team, chime in. Perhaps 1114's database could quickly tell if there was any such team.

Ask and you shall receive. (Roberto was quick with this query)

Here are all the undefeated teams who did not make the eliminations. Naturally they're all from Israel, because of the limited number of matches they played due to technical difficulties.

              
Team   R Desc   Result    Record     Standings        
2215   Israel   Did not make eliminations   2-0-2   37       
1946   Israel   Did not make eliminations   2-0-1   12       
1577   Israel   Did not make eliminations   1-0-2   35       
1574   Israel   Did not make eliminations   1-0-2   49
