FRC Game Name Shorthand

[Greg Marra]

Hi everyone,

As part of the TBA v4 redesign, we're going to be storing which year's game a match was. For example, "Raising the Bar", "Breakaway", or "Aim High". This lets us handle games with different formats (4v0, 2v2, 3v3) correctly.

I'd rather not store a full English punctuated, capitalized, and with-spaces name. Having something that is all lowercase, with no spaces, and short would allow us to use the codes in URLs, file names, and other places where full English doesn't make sense. However, there is no standardized name for each game. FIRST has short codes for Events ("ct", "ma", "mn2"), but not for Games.

Let's come up with a standard shorthand to refer to FRC games.

2010 Breakaway
2009 Lunacy
2008 FIRST Overdrive
2007 Rack 'n' Roll
2006 Aim High
2005 Triple Play
2004 FIRST Frenzy: Raising the Bar
2003 Stack Attack
2002 Zone Zeal
2001 Diabolical Dynamics
2000 Co-Opertition FIRST
1999 Double Trouble
1998 Ladder Logic
1997 Toroid Terror
1996 Hexagon Havoc
1995 Ramp n' Roll
1994 Tower Power
1993 Rug Rage
1992 Maize Craze
