Championship Division question.

[kenavt]

I was wondering if FIRST tends to put teams in a division they have been in before (keep them in the same division). For example, 2337 has been in Curie 2 of 2 times. 1114 has also been in Curie 4 of 7 times. 111 has been on Newton 4 of 7 in the past seven years as well (both 1114 and 111 from TBA).

Looking at TBA I've noticed a pattern as well.

176 was on Newton 02 - 06. In 07 we were on Curie, 08 was Galileo, and then 09 and 10 were Archimedes. So that's Newton 5/9, Archimedes 2/9, Curie 1/9, and Galileo 1/9. I wonder if most teams that attend CMP every year have that one division they are in more frequently than others.

For BOB I didn't really notice a pattern for our divisions. Don't know what division we were in for '02.

'10 was Galileo
'09 was Newton
'08 was Archimedes
'07 was Archimedes
'06 was Newton
'05 was Curie
'01 was Curie

We've been in a different division every time we go to Worlds. (Archimedes, Curie, Galileo)

Maybe we'll get Newton this time...

Then you have to sort the teams into divisions, figure out that division A is stacked with 70 of the best teams there, and redo the entire sort only to find the division C now has 40 and the rest only have 20...

fingers crossed =[

we're 1 team away from qualifying

We won the regional championship, did not have a 4th team on the winning alliance, and won Engineering Inspiration at the Colorado Regional this weekend. That should free up a spot for an at-large team. Good luck in getting to Champs.

Doesn't help if you're from MI and not preregistered, and one spot shy of the MI qualification group. It'll help someone get off the waitlist... but maybe not 201.

Last time i checked FIRST doesn't release the waiting list order for anybody. Am i wrong because i don't see otherwise how you would know that.

Michigan has their own ranking/wait list for CMP than the regular waitlist.
