Week .5 and 1 were a blast and I bet you guys are all pushing for that world high score. As of Week .5 the high score was 180 points by 4451,179, and 1369. Week 1 the high score is tied for 185 by 5172, 2987, and 3267 at the Northern Lights Regional and by 33, 67, and 4003 at the FIM District. Congrats to both alliances.
I made this thread not only to update you guys on the current high scores but to leave this to others to update as the weeks go on. If there is a higher score out there that I did not mention feel free to post it in this thread. Good Luck to teams in the upcoming weeks and great job to those who qualified for the world championship in St. Louis.
It would be helpful to know the top score with and without penalties. Can make a big difference (both 185s were 165 without penalties)
I know a 170 was scored no penalties at northern lights by 2883, 2502, and 5232. I am not sure if there has been a higher one than that.
185 Is the high score.

The top score that I see in all regionals has been 5172, 2987, and 3267 in semi finals match 2. It was 175 without fouls.
So whether 5172, 2987, and 3267 are tied for the high score depends on if it includes fouls?? Can the high score include fouls or not? Is it by ‘law’ that the high score can or can’t include fouls or is it just personal opinion whether it should or not?
Considering the high score is meaningless (the true “best matches” will include some tight defense), I don’t see why fouls wouldn’t count
It is also important to note that high scores in qualification matches are more impressive than in eliminations since there are 40 extra bonus points possible in eliminations that are not available on qualifications.
Sometimes the best matches involves a high score.
Many long time FRC historians consider this match, 2001 - 710 point Perfect Score match, to be the Greatest FRC in-match achievement ever. Either way its a metric by which all other matches are measured by.
It’s all for fun, so I don’t see why we can’t mention both.

Not a good day for red alliances until the end
Fouls should count.
If a robot is hitting you preventing you from making a shot you would otherwise make, they why not?
There were multiple non-calls which were shown on webcasts of various regionals which could affect scores.
As mentioned earlier, fouls/defense are part of the game, and should count.
To clarify, I also agree that in general fouls are absolutely part of the game and are valid when comparing scores. You can just learn more about a specific match by looking at foul points (egregious errors by opposing alliance, lots of defense, etc.)
How is that match considered Perfect? It seems like more small balls could have been scored from the field, and the time multiplier wasn’t maxed out (>=90 seconds remaining)
I remember some rounds from Ultimate Ascent where every disc was scored in the high goals (between both teams), autonomous mode scoring effectively maxed out, and climbing achieved, which seems closer to perfection that the match above
I agree that fouls should count in high score.
Foul calls influence game play – that is why the GDC made the rules the way they are.
One possible example: GTR Central teams were called for more fouls per match than at any other event to date. Perhaps this influenced teams to play less defense, run faster cycles, score more, and earn more breach and capture RPs. Perhaps this is the way the GDC envisioned game play in Stronghold.
Link to some data.
Fouls should probably be counted in high scores, but let’s be reasonable about it.
The highest score of 2014 occurred in Quals 4 of Greater Toronto East. The red alliance’s score at the end of the match was 420 points - that’s a huge score. However, 150 of those points came from Blue Alliance foul points. It looks like the Blue Alliance accidentally inbounded an extra ball, which comes with huge penalties.
The question is: Did the red alliance earn those 420 points? No. They earned 270, which, although impressive, does not surpass some of the other great efforts from alliances in 2014. That’s why foul points annoy me sometimes - they make it so alliance’s score doesn’t necessarily reflect the outcome of their own efforts in a match.
It would theoretically be possible to have three robots in an alliance do absolutely nothing and sit disabled all match, and yet win the match if the opposing alliance was particularly egregious with fouls.
He only took the highest score from each event.
Not counting fouls would mean that it was not technically the highest score ever recorded. They are just two different categories. Ultimately it’s all just for fun anyways.
What he said. I might be wrong I didn’t it real fast, I’ll build a scalable solution for the rest of the season later.
HH QT finale 8 had 133.
