With luck the number of FRC teams may work out perfectly this year. At the moment we have 348 teams registered to attend. That works out to 87 teams in each division and 29 complete alliances. There will be time for each team to play 7 qualifying rounds on Friday.

The current
Agenda shows 440 minutes of matches on Friday, for an average turnaround of 4 minutes 19 seconds. (I'm sure the FTAs and Field Supervisors in the crowd are shuddering thinking about that number). Then there's time on Saturday for another match or two. The only way to realistically get 7 matches on Friday is to start matches when the pits open on friday and finish them at close, with no lunch break.
I can't imagine 7 matches on Friday actually happening, but that's what Bill said.
We live for those eureka moments. Whether we win or lose competitions, it's those moments when a student's idea makes something just "click" that will stick with them and influence them to become engineers. - ToddF [more]
