Below are the ranking order for potential advancement for the 2023-2024 CENTERSTAGE season.

The table has been update in accordance with our planned size for the NorCal FTC Regional Championship.  We are planning for 48 teams. The advancement numbers in the table below represent the number of advancing from each tournament based on the number of teams competing.  If there are no-shows at the event, the number competing could change and potentially result in a reduction in the advancement from the event.

Teams in BOLD font are advancing. Teams with STRIKE THROUGH advanced either at an earlier qualifying tournament or higher in the advancement order.  Teams with an UNDERLINE are next in the advancement for a tournament.

There were 292 spaces at 17 advancing tournaments (qualifiers and league tournaments).  With 48 teams at our regional championship, the advancement ratio for each event works out to 16.4%.  Each year, we look at multiple methods to deal with the fractional portion of the advancement from each event; rounding, truncating, etc.

This year, we are applying truncation (i.e. round down).

Rounding down fills  35 37 of 48 spots at the NorCal FTC Regional Championship leaving 13 11 spaces to be assigned.  Three of the spaces will be assigned to the smallest three events, bringing them to 2 teams per tournament (San Jose #1, Google, Fresno).  The remaining 10 8 spaces will be assigned via a random draw of the all but the three smallest tournaments.

Drawn tournaments will get one additional advancement based on the advancement order in the table below.

The random draw was done at 12:45pm 2/67/24 and the ordering was:

1. League_NE
