I think he is asking specifically about within that page, what order are they sorted by. The answer is random. Normally, the event detail pages will sort by performance from that event. This means that a team playing a third event will still show what they would have received from that event (even though it doesn’t count in the total rankings). However, unlike the main rankings, we do not use the tie-breaker criteria within the event detail pages. There is no particular reason other then that it doesn’t matter what order they finish on that page, since the tie breakers only apply to the overall rankings. So it will default to the 10th sorting level, random sort. Until teams start to accumulate points from that event, it will just be a big pile of team numbers.
We will be releasing some changes on Thursday that will improve the overall readability of certain things, like “upcoming” events, but for now we aren’t planning on any changes to that sorting order for “upcoming” events.
As you identified in an earlier post, the teams will only show on that page when FIRST HQ confirms they have completed the registration process for the event.
Yes that was what I was wondering about and now that you put it that way it makes perfect sense that they are random to avoid more coding that would sort them in a manner other than the sorts used in ranking.
Thanks again for all your hard work putting this together, entering the data and keeping us up to date with the changes.
What is the overall capacity for this event? I’ve been under the impression that it’d be ~60 teams, but I could be making that up. If so, are the remaining 20 teams expected to come from teams competing this weekend?
We have a full slate of 64 teams that we will be invited to the District Championship. The first 40 invitations were released to teams that were mathematically guaranteed (have scored high enough) that, regardless of results of week 6, they would have still been invited. The District Chairman’s teams were also invited, since they are guaranteed. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the remaining ~20 are all coming from the OSU event, but rather that the results of OSU could change the rankings enough that it would change which teams would qualify for those remaining invitations. In all likelihood, a team (or teams) who don’t play at OSU (and aren’t already invited) could still be invited, but we can’t invite them until they are guaranteed the position.
Now that we know how many points everyone got I can speak on the accuracy of the program. Here’s how it did:

I hope its not as well. Well even though my team did not make it i will be their watching.
-on a side note Navid Shafa want to expand your shirt collection?
I am always looking to expand on my shirt collection, but I don’t think I’ll have any shirts with me to trade in Portland unfortunately. Perhaps another time.
However, come find me there. I’d love to chat with you about how you run your team. I’m interested to hear more about how you prototype and design as well as your swerve experience this year.
I’m so exited!
With the main festivities starting tomorrow, I was going to post a teaser video. Unfortunately, I was to lazy to get the raw footage. So I won’t. #123ballauto;)
