The California DCMP: 2023

Something similar happen to 687 (my alum team)? Rank 16 in Shoreline, unpicked, but still qualifies for worlds?

Complete pipe dream but it’d love to have CA DCMP in Staples center (or whatever it’s called now). I imagine both fields on the floor and pits at the neighboring convention center. Problems with this would include being in the middle of basketball/hockey season, cost, potential long walks from the pits, general logistics as well as all other elements of the plan.

this simulation makes me emit sad narwhal noises

really cool stuff though! really do wish to see some sorta districts-esq points system at a minimum before my time in FIRST is over (and I got a lotta years left)

Time to finally give Fresno the fame is deserves!
Here is a screenshot I made last year when some NorCal people were trying to say the Central Valley Regional in Fresno WASN’T part of “North”. (and also proves 973 is a SoCal team)

Hey wait, are those rankings simulated for before schedule release, or after? When I go to statbotics and use the simulation, using my team as an example, 3128 is ranked 38th before schedule and 17th after schedule

So in an actual district I think California would have 47 slots but 50 was close enough. (Most districts are given slots for just shy of 18% of their teams this year)

Based on the numbers provided by FIRST:
Between 3-6 Impact Award Winners
6-8 Dean’s List Finalists
1 or 2 Engineering Inspiration
1 or 2 Rookie All Stars

Somewhere between 5-10 teams would qualify based on awards however most of them I imagine would be in the top 46 anyway so I don’t think that many cusp teams would miss out.

@Nick.kremer stoked to play on a hypothetical alliance with y’all! I’d also like to apologize ahead of time for our wires coming unplugged in our final elims match, as that seems to be the trend this season.

This is simply divine intervention

How did the mistakes get figured out? Random Number Generator? Weighted RNG? I love everything about this btw.

The Statbotics hypothetical match simulator gives win percentages on top of expected points. For each match I did an IF(RAND() < PERCENTAGE) formula to come up with upsets. If there was no upset, I left the expected points as-is, if there was an upset I either swapped the point values (lazy) or added/substracted points in a believable way and came up with a story.

Are you publishing an unofficial FRC Arena Master’s Guide? I can see a board game kickstarter in your future.

It is my great displeasure to inform everyone that I definitely copy+pasted ranks wrong and Shoreline is pretty scuffed. This is what I get for rushing to get this done before divisions get announced.

Corrected alliances.

Good thing I only run fake events.

You did post this at midnight, so it’s somewhat understandable.
