World Rankings 2014

[Joe Ross]

I calculated the rankings of all teams using the FRC District Standard Points Ranking System as shown below. Since everyone does not have a standardized 2 events per team or 12 matches per event, I made the following modifications: Win points are normalized based on 12 matches per event. The first two events are counted. If a team has participated in less then 2 events, their first event is doubled (as a result, every team has their points doubled this week).

POINT CATEGORY POINTS 					POINTS 		
Win-Loss Record in Qualifying Rounds 							
Win 							2
Tie 							1
Loss							0
Alliance Selection Results							
Alliance Captain				        Equal to 17 minus the Alliance Captain Number [e.g.: 14 points for Alliance #3 Captain]		
Draft Order by Acceptance  				Equal to 17 minus the Draft Order Acceptance Number [e.g.: 12 points for the Team that is 5 th to accept an offer of Alliance] 				
Elimination Round Performance 				5 points for every match won in which a Team ’s robot participated,		
Awards
Chairman’s Award				        10 Points for 
Engineering Inspiration and Rookie All Star Awards      8 Points
all other judged Team awards				5 points
Team Age                                                 													
Rookie Teams 						10
Second-year Teams 					5

I have compared the results with the FiM, MAR, and PNW rankings, and they agree. I used Ed Law's standings for Centerline.
