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.
