Is scoring over 100 points notable? We (team 639) did it at the Rochester regional too (158 points) and I didn't consider it especially notable (fun, but not notable). After all, the highest score so far is apparently 316. 71.123.16.229 03:06, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd say the only really notable score would be the maximum score achieved, which to my knowledge is 316 (256 + 60). Also, this page needs pictures. I'll have some for sure in 2 weeks (waterloo regional), but the more the merrier. Bongle 17:15, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I deleted the notable scores because it is done all the fucking time. There were roughly 10 games at Chesapeake with 100 points or higher, and three games with complete rings. Just because your team did something doesn't make it notable. 71.126.132.224 23:26, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I added a section to list winners of all the regionals. The maximum score is actually significantly higher than 316, you can place up to 21 rings on the rack (18 ringers and 3 keepers)

Including ramp scores, the maximum possible score for this game is 624. This is possible by obtaining two rows of 8, a row of 5 and having two robots lifted 12+" off the ground. Perhaps (if they're still up) you could have "highest regional score", which, tooting my own horn a bit, was completed by my team (514) at the SBPLI Regional with a score of 246. Jonnadiah

There were several scores higher than 246 at regionals. Waterloo had a match with 286, and I believe the highest overall was 338 at GTR by 1680, 188, and 1114. Personally, I think we might want to cut back on the regional winners section. As the # of regionals increases, you're going to have to have ridiculous numbers of team listings.

There was one in NH with a score over 300 if I recall. It's on YouTube. Anyway, I'd agree that the Regional section is getting a bit rediculous and I wholeheartedly support giving each year a separate pages just for regional awards. This way we could also include other important honors won at the regionals, such as Chairman's, WFA, Engineering Inspiration, etc.

[edit] Winners

My hands can't handle any more. All the regionals and team numbers are there, as well as 1/4th of the team names/websites. I'm pulling the team names from here if someone wants to continue. Also, it seems like the winners page is getting a bit too big for the main page (especially since it doesn't seem to fit in very well with the rest of the page). Maybe it's about time to split it up?

[edit] Disqualification Edit

I reverted an edit to this page regarding a disqualification during the finals. This is not the place to air your frustrations about a judges decision. The edit contained mostly opinions and it didn't add to the article.Bryan Duggan 06:33, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
