New features on the site, and the odd post about FRC.
What's new on the site, early OctoberLifetime points picked up filters, avatars and a Rookie Classes tab, the registration page now logs every team that signs up or drops out, and the games load a lot faster.
Cycle times: which events run the fastest qualsNew page, Cycle Times, that ranks every event by how fast it ran qualification matches, going back to 2015. Cycle time is the average time from one match start to the next, with lunch and overnight breaks left out, so field faults and slow resets still count against an event.
Award leaderboardNew page, the Award Leaderboard, that ranks every team by how many times it's won each award at official events. Pick an award from the dropdown, or type a team number to jump to where it sits.
Improved Event Detailed History PageBetter at a glance stats for teams/history at a specific event.
Revamped FRC History PageThe old page was pretty ugly and there were some mismatched events that have now been corrected.
Team Registration RebuildThe Team Registration page got rebuilt. Pick a country, state or district and you get that area's team counts by season, a rookie retention heatmap back to 1992, where the teams are, and each season's events by week.
Playoff history and a faster team pageTeam pages have a new Playoffs tab. It shows who a team has been on a playoff alliance with, and who has knocked them out of a bracket.

Team name changes by yearYou could already look up team name changes on here, but you had to go through it team by team, which kind of sucked if you just wanted to see a whole year at once. So there's a by year tab now, pick a season and it lists every team that changed its name that year.
FRCdle ImprovementsFRCdle got a big quality pass. You can filter by country and state, difficulty behaves sensibly in smaller regions, and the game should feel snappier overall (including playing again without a full refresh). We’ve added clearer direction hints in both km and miles, highlighted matching sponsors in your guesses, and tossed in extra columns like events attended and champs appearances. There’s a proper how-to, rebalanced difficulties with a Nightmare option, and your settings (including distance units) save automatically. Oh, and the whole game UI got a cleaner pass — better inputs, table, and modals.

I decided to set up a new website to help facilitate sharing of some of my projects, and maybe the occasional blog post of random thoughts I might have. Lets see how it goes!
