along the lines of another thread about most points scored, what was your teams average score for your competition(s)
us, 1565, were the top-scoring robot at the greater Toronto regional. we scored an average of 22 points per round; the closest team was about 17 (if i remember correctly)
i can tell you our average without calculating. 0!
How did you only make it to rank 51st then???
116s averages:
VCU (Qualification only)- 36.375
VCU (Qualification & Elimination)- 42.091
Galileo (Qualification only)- 64.429
Galileo (Qualification & Elimination)- 56.75
2007 (Qualification & Elimination)- 49.739
ranking is based on how well your alliance did…average points is how well YOU did.
and for sean, the average points are on the FIRST score sheets (i think on their web site)
Those aren’t the average points, those are your average ranking points. Average ranking points are calculated by taking the average of all the losers scores for all your matches.
The top average score for the 2007 season was Team 2056, with an average of 133.75 at the GTR. Team 330 was second with an average of 133.10 at San Diego.
(These stats are qualification matches only. I have all the averages for all teams who attended the Championship. Roberto from Team 1114 has the averages for all teams in FIRST)
As Karthik pointed out above, the “RS” column is NOT your average score. It’s your Ranking Score, which is the average losers score of your matches, and is used as the first tie-breaker when determining your rank. FIRST keeps no official record of individual team performance on the field.
i feel dumb…i was told our that that was our average points…man, i feel stupid

Sorry to bump an old thread, but what IS the interpretation of having an exceptionally high or low average ranking points score?
Here is my thinking:
High ranking points score implies that you either tended to lose, but went down fighting, or you tended to win, but your opponents still tended to be effective. Essentially, your matches tended to be close.
A low ranking points score might mean that you tend to lose and rarely score points, or you are a very powerful team that tends to blow out their opponents such that they never score any points.
Edit: (Thanks IndySam) - Or you were a strong defensive team that always kept your opponents to a low score.
Is this correct? I probably got the winning side wrong, since I’m unsure of the scoring mechanism for that.
I watched 1565 at GTR, and they always tended to score 3-4 ringers per match, but were always just barely outclassed by their opponents.
Or you were a very good defensive team that held your opponents to a low score when you won.
If they keep RP as the tiebreaker I don’t think we will build another defensive robot. You can build a great effective bot but the RP really handicaps you in the rankings
I remember last year, in order to give themselves good ranking points, it wasn’t uncommon for a team to score balls for the opposing alliance to prevent those ownage matches. If I remember right, in one match, a team scored in the opponents goal, and had their score within a couple points of theirs, finished the match, but had a 10 point penalty called on them for some reason and lost the match…

Gonna’ have to go back to usfirst.org before september to check something, I see. 
We were the top 5 scoring robots, scoring between 2-5 tubes per match, but because of lots of penalties in our alliance (don’t like to point blaming fingers, but we followed all the rules, except for one mistake we made, and in the other matches we lost our other alliance team made a penalties) we reached last palce in the ranking, but were chosen for the elimination rounds.
The qualification rounds average is 13.09
including the quarter and semi final matches, 20.94

Our teams average was zero… But we also had the lowest ranking score at the championship, yet we seeded 8th… Defensive strategies, show different averages obviously, I looked at having a low ranking score as a testiment to defense. Some may see it other ways… Different strategies yield different stats. The number one team in baseball can have mediocre batting, but outstanding pitching…
