More Regionals = Higher Ranking?
I was thinking about the ranking sites like the top 25 and OPR and how going to more then one regional, or appearing in the later regionals would effect a team's ranking. Do you guys think that good teams might fall off the radar, especially of the popular vote, if they don't play as much? Conversely do you think that teams who are constantly in the public eye would tend to get a higher vote then if they were not?

Re: More Regionals = Higher Ranking?
Sure they do. Take 67 for example: They moved up a lot after their second regional, even though their robot performed basically the same (when it could move, that is). New names will also probably show up after their first regional, even if teams that were just as good dropped off the rankings in earlier weeks. 469 was one of those teams, but I doubt even without playing another regional they would drop off the rankings, due to the hype surrounding their number.
However, I believe the teams that truly deserve to be in the top 25 won't drop off, even if they only played in week 1. 148 and 254 have played only 1 regional, and their rankings haven't changed much despite being on the charts for weeks. Team 40 will probably remain near the top, even though they're not nearly as well known as the other teams in the top 10. Last edited by AmoryG : 03-29-2011 at 10:23 AM. |

In any numerical system, like OPR, the frequency of competition doesn't matter. In public opinion (popularity), which is largely what the frc top 25 is, teams that have played more recently or have a reputation will be near the top. Qualitative vs Quantitative. |

Re: More Regionals = Higher Ranking?
Boy Ike, I hope you're right. Our first event performance was abysmal.

Re: More Regionals = Higher Ranking?
I think in general teams in later regionals will get higher rankings, because teams are learning how to play the game, learning from watching other events, etc. The overall scores are going to get higher each week, so anyone looking at OPR data will see steady increases.
For example, a week 1 Regional maybe a team that could score 5 tubes and a minibot was the top at an event. By week 3 that same performance would be middle of the pack, because the entire fields have matured. |
