Archimedes 2010

I'm not even worried about the 469/whoever alliance. I mean they are good and all, but if MSC taught me anything it's that they can be beaten.

Plus we won't even have to play their division winner until we win Archimedes

The matches for this division should be fun to watch!

Similar to what I did in previous years, I ran through 200 simulated qualification match schedules (all 144 matches, using the FIRST match generator). I used each team's average opr for their contribution to a match. I calculated the standings for each of the 200 simulated qualification schedules, and then looked at some statistics from the aggregate results.

Team	Avg Rnk	Med Rnk	Mod Rnk	SD Rnk	Min Rnk	Max Rnk	#1 seed	Top 8	Avg SS	Med SS	Stdv SS	Min SS	Max SS

I have never seen the FIRST data analyzed like this before, and I must say it's really cool!

If you don't mind, what did you use to simulate all of the match data?

The same program that FIRST uses: http://www.idleloop.com/matchmaker/

It looks like we have a late addition to Archimedes...

968

[Cyberphil]

Well........... This should be very interesting....

[DM7000]

Team 2574 is extremely excited to participate in Archimedes. Although it looks like it;s going to be a really tough division. See you all there!

[waialua359]

Of all the teams they add to Archimedes, they add 968??? Wow!

for us, we keep getting into tough divisions.
2005 Archimedes was tough.
2006 Newton was hands down the toughest.
2007 We didnt go
2008 Newton was almost as tough as Galileo.....i.e. Pink and Rawc dominated and even almost won Einstein.
2009 Galileo was the toughest field.
2010 Archimedes is the deepest from almost every statistical category, including Chairman's.
This will definitely be the field to watch during eliminations from start to end.

We have never been to Curie and it seems that our friends 368 always get Curie year after year.

[ThatHubrexGuy]

Oooh... Team 159 and 1519...

And team 359 and 3059.

[darkember]

Team 375 is ready to compete, in probably the most stacked division this year.

[rcmolloy]

Ok so it's my first year to Championships and I find out that 1647 is in the Division. I am really excited to see how this plays out. Hopefully, we can play to any strategy you need us to.

[ExTexan]

Well you know us here on 201 would love for you to be on Archimedes! Who else can we argue about our hook with Plus you are our favorite ref!

A big ExTex thanks for that. And you know I would love to see THE HOOK in action! Even if I'm reffing another field I will try to drop by. Good Luck!

[larrysz92]

Team 1241 Theory 6 is glad to be here!
