FYI, Week 1 MI events have had their eliminations added in. No changes other than point spread. Hopefully I can get a couple Week 4 events scored later today, and keep going from there. (Maybe Hawaii...)

Edit: Nope, not Hawaii. Awards and match results are there, but not standings. If someone wanted to regenerate the standings, and more importantly the qualifying scores, that would be much appreciated.

Edit 2: Never mind! frclinks gets you to the awards and match results; the FRC site route gets you the standings. Hopefully they can get the rest of it working...

Looks like I get to repeat myself.

I need people to step up and score one or two events, or more, or I'll never get done in time for the Region Championships (MI and MAR) and the Championship. And, with the Championship draft order being decided based on the points order from the regular season, not having the scores in in time means inaccurate draft orders.

So, here is what I need in order of priority:

1) W-L-T record for eliminations only from San Diego, Israel, Kettering, Hatboro-Horsham, and Gull Lake. I get those, I can finalize the Week 1 results (I've been finding some point jumps due to eliminations).
2) Full scoring for any district events after Week 1.
3) Full scoring for any non-district events after Week 1 other than Orlando, WPI, Los Angeles, and GTR-E.

Full scoring of an event should take about half an hour; the toughest part is digging out the elimination W-L-T correctly.

There also a few known missing teams from Week 5 events. I'll issue the reminders for those after the events finish tomorrow.

I'll see what I can do.

[EricH]

The following are missing teams in Week 5:

Untouchables: Connecticut 2265
Flippin' the Greatest: Long Island 287, Troy 3609
Awesome: Oklahoma 2773, Dallas West 2583
Dodar: Dallas West 2345
Shoelace: Livonia 4405, Mt. Olive 2234
B.O.T.: Mt. Olive 2559

If you're missing a team, I'd really appreciate it if you either replace them or tell me that you want a random early--the earlier you say "random", the earlier I can assign one and forget all about it until scoring.

Also, I'd appreciate it if people started looking at their alliances in Las Vegas--8 teams that were drafted are not attending, and one of the teams on the available list has dropped out as well. So if folks start looking now, it'll save us all a ton of time and trouble later.

We'll take a random for Conn

[EricH]

Random team assigned.

Quick note: If you're having trouble with the scoring template from last year, I got some help from MOE's league with scoring Chestnut Hill and Lenape. They made some suggestions, so I incorporated them into a revised sheet, which is posted at http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2655.

Also, any event is fair game to score other than the above-mentioned districts and the MI districts (taken by one of the league members). If you have half an hour to an hour, feel free to score an event that you like and send me the score sheets.

I will do my best to have the MI and MAR scores posted up before those areas have their championships (Week 7) so that everyone can see how their favorite teams actually did.

Yeah. Scoring the way week one was scored is taking waaaaaaaay too long. I just want to enter relevant information that actually affects coring, Not teloperated points, bridge points and hybrid points.

[EricH]

Anybody who uses the spreadsheet I posted last night:

The spreadsheet counts RI twice if given, and quality zero times. I will post an updated version later tonight to correct this; the reasonably astute Excel users can make the fix themselves (it isn't hard to do).

I've posted a corrected version. Now to finish scoring...

[EricH]

And, after a long afternoon of scoring during free time, I have one more week to do and I *might* be caught up. So, with Week 4 scored other than the MI districts, the current rankings are:

Nemesis (Dr. Theta)
Flippin' the Greatest (Akash, Chris, XaulZan, JackS)
Falcon (EricH)
Shoelace (Basel A, Nikeairmancurry)
1676 (Hallry)
CircuitRunners (ghostmachine360, Wing,iPenguin)
Dodar (dodar)
ProgramLuke (ProgramLuke)
Untouchables (Tyler Olds, EricLeiferman)
Awesome (Duke461, O'sancheski)
191 X-Cats (Koko Ed)
B.O.T (Cody Burd)

The top three are within 111 points of each other and just about 400 points ahead of everybody else.

Oh, and anybody who was at Buckeye: 228 can't have earned the Safety award due to not attending. Anybody know who did?

It was 2228, I was watching.

Well, nobody had 2228, so no changes to the scores.

[Chris is me]

Glad we're living up to our name.

[EricH]

OK, so I finished off Michigan. One more weekend, then it's drafting time again, with MSC and the MAR Championship happening in Week 7.

Your scores heading into Week 6:

Nemesis               1149    1262    1257    2042    1566            7276

Shoelace              1098    1064    1334    1756    1662            6914

CircuitRunners        1026    1398    1194    1496    1352            6466
Dodar                  827    1495     913    1855    1330            6420

B.O.T                  656    1119     813    1359     946            4893

You spoke too soon, Chris.

Michigan scores should be up later tonight, along with the full scoring sheet after I polish off distributing random teams.

Interesting trivia: the 5 weeks scored so far represent 2,886 individual teams at events. Some teams do multiple, some do single, but they're all accounted for.

Other notes: Some of the slots on the full scoring sheet will show a replacement team when I didn't announce any issues. In those cases, a team either failed to show up or was discovered to be a double pick during scoring. The replacement was the first team on the random list; in cases where multiple teams had to be replaced while scoring, I went in order of draft picks. Those teams will be in bold on a green background (once the sheet is released).

[EricH]

Ok, scoring sheet for MI and for all the alliances is up. See http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2660

Note the teams in green background, bold text. Those are replacement teams called in for missing/double-picked teams.

So, here's how it works from here on out:
This weekend: Week 6 events play, Week 6 events end.
Later this weekend: EricH scores the last 6 regionals.
Sometime next week: MSC and MAR Championship have filled enough to do a draft. Team scores are already out for those.
Next weekend: Said events play out.
End of next weekend: Final scoresheet before the Championships along with a full team score sheet go up. Ditto for final standings. Elgin Clock, MVP, and Rookie of the Year are announced.

Sometime between then and the Championship, the 4 division drafts happen. Special order on those; they go serpentine starting in order of regular season standings.

After Championship: The winner is crowned. Note that the Championship scores (and therefore the winner) are independent of in-season scoring.
