Galileo Division 2013

Looking at OPRs is fun, but they should be taken with a grain of salt.
After all, if matches were determined by the numbers, we wouldn't need to have competitions.

I'll probably be more surprised than anyone if my team manages to go undefeated.

Surprises are fun.

We all know OPR is everything, obviously.

Especially OPR at previous events, some of which more than 4 weeks ago.

Our (2046's) projected rank is 96th with a record of 1-7-0... we're hoping, with some of the new tricks we've been working on, to do a little bit better than that but with matches against 1114, 118, 610, and 1477 to name a few... it seems like the scheduling gods were not smiling upon us. I think we have a decent chance at coming out of quals 5-3-0 though. And there's always that possibility that these Preliminary schedules change... We'll see how it goes

Good luck to everyone this week, we'll see you in St. Louis.

I hope we end up getting 9 matches and the schedule changes!

Also, remember that the fewer matches the team played in the more accurate the results!

Suppose for a second though, that 610 (inexplicably, given their lack of 7disc floor pickup [they had a 5disker at ONWA, but removed it]) DOES seed #1.

Who do they pick? 118? 1114? someone else? 1114's scoring prowess is huge, but that would leave their alliance likely without a 7disc auto.

Eh Team 2013 all the way.

I don't think they would pick 1114 because that means they are banking on any floor pickup being left for the 16th pick (there won't be) or they have their pickup at 100% (which they may find risky). If 1114 is an alliance captain but ranked 4th or lower, 610 might pick them almost certainly anticipating them to decline and scorch the pick. I'm certain at that point the best floor loader on the board would go to them, and 1114 would be forced to pick a floor load that may not be of the consistent caliber 610 will get.

But I think we're in the fourth layer of this hypothetical right now so I'll just wait here for Wednesday at 2:30 to get here so I can be in the car to StL.

4601! (rooting for the local rookie team )


610, 1114, 1323

True story, 1772's OPR is all bad because of how they've played 50+ matches with varying problems being addressed. I like how 4452 is seeded 8th in someone's data. Rookies in the top 8 would be really cool.

As would I. It would certainly be a step up from going 2-9 in the Portland Regional haha.

On the PRELIMINARY schedule, there is a match with 1114, 610, and 111 on an alliance (against 842). That should be fun to watch.

How did I possibly miss that? That's crazy, can't wait to watch.
