Missouri Robotics State Championship 2015

[mrwright]

With the official competition season starting up this week I figured it would be good to give an update to the teams in Missouri.

The Missouri Robotics State Championship will be held on Saturday, May 9, 2015 in Sedalia. The top 32 ranked teams in Missouri will face off in this one day event to crown a state champion alliance. Details of the competition can be found in the attachment below or on the website: www.missouriroboticsstatechampionship.com (under construction). We will be using the 2015 District Ranking System (attached).

Here is the breakdown of the Missouri teams for the 2015 season:

Total Teams: 69
Veteran Teams: 54
Sophomore Teams: 10
Rookie Teams: 5

One Event Teams: 44
Two Event Teams: 23
Three Event Teams: 2

Missouri Team Events:
Arkansas Rock City Regional: 11
Greater Kansas City Regional: 36
St. Louis Regional: 34
Central Illinois Regional: 1
Hub City Regional: 1
Colorado Regional: 3
Buckeye Regional: 1
Oklahoma Regional: 6
Queen City Regional: 3

Most teams will be finished with their two events after week five. We have three teams competing during week six at the Queen City Regional (1986, 1764, & 1985). Since we are ranking based upon the first two events, week six won't effect 1986's ranking. Final rankings could be effected by 1985 and 1764 though. Teams with only one event will have their scores doubled. Cultural award points will not be doubled (Chairman's, etc.)

With this in mind we will be able to send out invitations to the top 30 teams after week five. We will have to wait until after week six to finalize the top 32 to see where 1985 and 1764 come in.

We will be updating rankings after week 2.

If you are interested in helping out/volunteering at this event please contact me or register through the volunteer page on the website.

11 of the 69 registered Missouri Teams competed in Arkansas this past weekend and teams were assigned points based on the FRC 2015 district point structure.

District Point Categories Included
QRP (Qualifying Round Performance) was based on 54 participating teams at the regional event.
ASR (Alliance Selection Results)
PRP (Playoff Round Performance)
AWD (Judged Team Awards)
TA (Team Age)

Unlike a true district many Missouri teams will only be competing at 1 regional event. Until a team completes their second event their points (except for RCA, EI, and RAS award points) will be doubled.

1986 -- 110
4330 -- 104
4522 -- 96
3284 -- 88
4256 -- 86
4500 -- 66
1706 -- 61
0931 -- 36
1785 -- 24
4329 -- 22
1939 -- 10

Looking Ahead To Week 3: Missouri Teams will be competing at the Greater Kansas City regional this weekend. With no Missouri teams winning a regional championship through week 2 there is plenty of room at the top for a new points leader. A #1 seed who wins the regional championship and a judged award could post a 146 number.

[Alpha Beta]

44 out of the 69 Missouri teams have competed at least once. Everybody in
the top 9 is playing at least 2 events this year, and while 4522 has
completed their first two, the other 8 still have an event pending. There
are also several teams that we will see for the first time in St. Louis
next weekend.

PS. I'll work on proper tie-breakers after the St. Louis event

[Alpha Beta]

Week 4 and the St. Louis Regional are in the books. All but 1 Missouri team (5730 - Week 5, Oklahoma) has completed at least 1 regional. 12 teams still have a 2nd event in week 5 or 6 that may affect their placement.

PS. Still working on proper tie-breakers. It looks like they will come into play.

[Drivencrazy]

I'm sure I missed this somewhere, but are the rankings based on points accrued at the first two events the rankings used in determining alliance captains or is there some form of qual matches played at the event? I see that there are exhibition matches Saturday morning but those do not affect ranking.

[mrwright]

The rankings are used to determine alliance captains. Teams will come to the event already ranked. We are currently working on getting as many matches in as possible before alliance selections but the exhibition matches will not affect the rankings.

[CalTran]

Is there somewhere to look into volunteering for the event? I would consider driving down from school to help.

[mrwright]

Cal and any interested volunteers,

We have a contact link on the event website.

http://missouriroboticsstatechampionship.com/volunteer/

Send me an email through that link and we will be in touch. We would love to have you help out!

Corrected List:

Forced the QRP to round up to the next whole integer as specified in the district ranking guide, and included tie-breaks. Only had to go to the 6th level of tie breaks to get a clean list. Also cleaned up two data errors affecting 5326 and 5176.

Email sent! Looks like it's shaping up to be quite the interesting event.

[Alpha Beta]

All 69 Missouri Teams have now played at least 1 event. Teams in red (1985 and 1764) will be playing their 2nd event in weeks 6 and could affect the top 32 teams.
