Question: Championship Divisions

[eitang]

When are the Championship divisions published.

I can't wait to see who were up against.

[Chris Fultz]

Not until the week after all regionals and the Michigan Championship.

FIRST needs to allow all of those qualifying teams to register, and fill the field with waitlist teams.

Thanks for putting this together again Tom. You really put the "TB" in "TBA"!

I hope it ends up like the Serpentine division algorithm. Curie is a nice field with that one. Easier with the Normal algorithm.

According to these predictions Galileo is going to be a beast, 254, 1114, 217, 111, 148 , 179(hehe) its going to be fun!

nah, those are the divisions from last yr... so last year was beast... i hope we dont have to face powerhouse teams like that so many times... this year

[swamp_child]

no, those were not the divisions from last year, that is the predicted for this year. However i did make a mistake, 1114 is not in Galileo

Just for fun, I did an AAAA, CCCC, GGGG, NNNN, etc. sort on the current team list. Doesn't seem like too bad of a distribution of talent:

Would be interesting to clump together some of the old corporate teams. Do you think that is even remotely possible this year?

Not knowing anything about FIRST's rationale for divisional sorting, I suppose anything's possible. Consider this my pitch for seeing something like this - I would love seeing the other Delphi 40's in my division.

Including the honorary ghost of Team 46....

How many teams did you use? That showing is different then what the TBA is showing as the prediction?

TBA shows 323 teams (which will increase over the next few days, no doubt). That's the list I used......again, for FUN.

[engunneer]

Any periodic sorting should give a nice stackup of teams in each division. This is due to two factors:
1) there is no correlation between team number (mod 4) and effectiveness.
2) there are a LOT of impressive teams this year

That being said, I hope we end up somewhere other than Newton, but only because it is the furthest field from the pit, and it takes a LONG time to walk all the way around the dome every time.

[Joe Ross]

In 2002 through 2004 the divisions were released the Tuesday 9 days before the beginning of the championship. That ended up ranging anywhere from before the last regional ended (2003) to 10 days after the last regional ended (2002).

In 2005, the divisions were released on a Monday, 10 days before the beginning of the championship (9 days after the end of the last regionals).

In 2006, the divisions were released on a Friday, 13 days before the beginning of the championship (13 days after the end of the last regionals).

In 2007, the divisions were released on a Wednesday, 8 days before the beginning of the championship (4 days after the end of the last regionals).

In 2008, the divisions were released on a Wednesday, 8 days before the beginning of the championship (3 days after the end of the last regional).
