YOU Predict the Average Match Score of 2011's Week 1 Regionals

[Lil' Lavery]

iCurtis, what about the fact that it will be a lot tougher to see the scoring pegs this time as opposed to 2007? And the additional shapes aren't going to make anything easier.

Just food for thought.

Also, teams will most likely have to go to the far side of the field to get the game pieces. There were a lot of teams that would good at picking up pieces right in front of the driver station, but struggled picking them up on the far side of the field. Plus, you have to factor the driving time to get there and back.

I'm thinking teams can score around 35-50 points with the tubes, and getting second and third in the race is another 35,....

I say 70 points will be typical for a good scoring alliance and 60 will be the average.

During elimination matches I expect the average to jump 10 points.

[DonRotolo]

Early in the day I expect 50-70 averages, and well over 100 in the finals.

[BrendanB]

I'd say 10 for the low matches and 80s being the high for the fun matches. So average around 45-60 as the weekend picks up.

[indubitably]

64 average for a winning alliance in week 1

Highest score of week one will be 92

I'm gonna guess on the low end...only about 15-20 per alliance. Week 1 is usually low-scoring, because teams don't know the best way to play the game yet

That is almost impossible, assuming atleast two teams have minibots, then the minimum scores are 30 and 20 respectively.

I don't think that by week 1, very many teams will have a consistent minibot.

Hey! We're in the same boat, too! NJ's been week 1 for years. I remember last year in NJ I saw a whole bunch of 0-0 and 1-0 scores, so I think week 1 will be very low scoring.

I'm gonna give two guess. Either 42, or if that's wrong, definitely over 9000. Just sayin.

[JackS]

Excluding getting the other team's ubertubes, the calculated max score is 158 points.

Personally, I think a top tier robot, by championship, will be able to score 60 points a match (ubertube + 3 on top pegs + minibot.) I know you're going to say defense, but if an alliance partner protects the awesome bot, while another bot takes care of the middle, you'll see scores average in the 50s-60s per par alliance, and max around 80.

Week one, the average scores will be in the 20s-30s per alliance, with the high being around 50 per alliance.

[mcrawford]

I think because it's week 1, the max will be 100ish and the average would be in the 30s per alliance.

[smurfgirl]

Well... it looks like the maximum you can score in any match is 108 points with the tubes, and 50 minibot bonus points.

For week one, I'm guessing that not everyone will have their minibots working properly, so maybe only one per alliance - 30 points to one alliance and 20 to the other on average. I'm guessing people will still be working out the bugs in their autonomous modes, so probably only about one ubertube per alliance, and it will take a while to drive around the field collecting tubes... so maybe about 30 points worth of tubes per match.

This puts my guess at 50-60 points per alliance during week 1 matches.

[Chris is me]

I'm going with the winning alliance scoring 54 points average, losing alliance scoring about 30ish.
