I know there was a thread beforehand, but now that the season has been underway for awhile… what do you guys think the average match score at world’s is going to be. Post your guesses below.
From what I have seen, I would say 200 +/- 50. Completely a guesstimate. But some of these robots and launchers are looking really good 
Especially since this year, 3rd alliances aren’t qualified to worlds. I think that is going to make it a lot more fun! I think we are going to see a lot of clean sweeps at worlds!
Wait what? Where is this stated?
Everyone check out this document if you are confused by the qualifying criteria.
To the OP, I would guess average scores to be quite a bit lower than 200.
Yeah, so third Alliance members (second picks) still qualify, unless your state only has 3 spots.
Or is that not what you meant cyber brains?
I would say 200 +/- 50
250+/-30
I’m going to say 175 +/- 25.
In which case you’d be doing 2-team alliances anyway.
Look at last year at worlds, it was no different than the competition before worlds that we went to (Note: our team is from Texas). But that was in the qualification matches, elimination matches it really ramped up. For qualifications I am guessing around 200, but in eliminations 300 +/- 50, there are 670 points on the field, hopefully there will be some good matches at worlds :).
Your last competition before worlds had an average score of 45, High School worlds had an average score of 54. That’s a 20% increase which is pretty significant.
Extrapolating the line of best fit from vexDB seems to give it at around 130, come april.

However that is assuming that robots get better at a constant rate over the season. I don’t think this assumption is correct and I think the second derivative will be positive as we get closer towards worlds. i.e a hockey stick graph.
Worlds also seems to be about 20-50% higher than the line of best fit for that time (depending on the season), hence my 175
I agree. I don’t think that there will be a huge difference in quals, but eliminations will probably have huge scores.
Keep in mind that the average score of competitions now is consistently going up.
And we mind not see a huge increase in scores between regionals and worlds, we’ll probably see a huge increase between now and April.
I would say 225 +/- 25 in quals, and 300+/- 50 in eliminations. 330+/-30 in RR.
Our last competition the last competition we had a average score of 79 (Note: the competition avg. score was around 50 it was the “Berkner tournament of champions” competition)
Your team inidividually might not have changed, but the spread over the whole competition evidently did, and that’s what we’re talking about.
And yes, that Berkner competition with an average score of 45 is the one that i linked to and used numbers from.
For Elimination Rounds, I think:
- 28/32 driver/auton load: 140
- 14/20 field shared (defense): 87
- Lift: 37
So guess: 245 +/-20
Many of the skyrise matches I watched were not that great at Worlds. I expect we will see most teams scoring around 225 without lifting, but many only hitting 150-200 during qualification.
For eliminations though, I hope many teams will be able to score over 300 easily.
