This is the 2016 annual update of my Championship History Spreadsheet
This sheet contains a summary of all teams who have played in the CMP playoffs since 2001.
Congratulations to Citrus Circuits on maintaining the top spot. 4 trips to Einstein in a row will do that
Other fun facts: there are 5 teams who have played in the playoffs every year for the past 12 years since the 3 vs 3 FRC format began: 27, 33, 148, 254, 1114.
3 of these teams are in the Hall of Fame, and 4 of these teams are part of #TeamIFI.
2016 FRC Championship History by: Jim Zondag
This is a summary of the total team attendance and results in FRC CMP elimination rounds in the 16 year period from 2001-2016
This sheet contains a record of all teams who have played in CMP elims in 16 years. It uses the district point method to rank all of the teams for their selection point in the alliance selection and their finishing level in the tournament. Results are accumulated using a total points and a weighted annual de-rating method.
Thanks for updating this, Jim. It is very interesting to see the close correlation between your derated point ranking of teams, and my own qualitative recollections of performances I have witnessed over the years. As an example, scanning your list I instantly recognize about 2/3 of the top 150 teams without looking up their numbers.
In particular, during the 8 seasons I have been observing FiM teams from inside our system, the correlation is remarkable. I didn’t need to look up any of these teams, because I recognize their numbers immediately as belonging to Michigan teams that have performed well.
Below is a list of the top 31 FiM teams based on Zondag Derated Points (ZDP).
FiM Team Zondag Rank ZDP Name
67 9 99 HOT
33 12 95 Killer Bees
217 16 78 Thunderchickens

573 147 21 Mech Warriors
51 151 19 Wings of Fire
Note: I am particularly proud of my Average Joes (3620) for making their first-ever appearance on the ZDP list this year; in previous years, we had earned zero ZDP because we did not make playoffs at CMP. Three other FiM teams also make their first ZDP list appearances in the top 150 this year: 3538, 5050, and 5460.
Awesome spreadsheet as always. Just noticed a few things. I think a few world champions are listed as finalist for some reason. I'm not sure if you did that for the weight tapering system or it was just oversight, but just a thought I had. For example, I know that in 2001, 365 and 294 both were WC, but are listed and WF.
3005 was listed as a Division Winner for Curie on the main rollup screen (Green W), but we were actually division finalists. It looks like the points calculation, ranking, and subsequent data screens are all correct based on our Division Finalist finish.
Spot checking a few others on the list, it appears 3166 had a similar issue, and possibly some others.
