# The Blue Alliance (TBA)

**URL:** https://www.thebluealliance.com/
**Purpose:** Crowdsourced FRC event and team data

---

## What It Is

The Blue Alliance is the authoritative source for FRC competition data — match results, team rankings, event schedules, robot videos, and historical performance. Crowdsourced by the FRC community, maintained by volunteers.

## Primary Use for 2890

**Team 2890 historical data:**
- Match results by year
- OPR/CCRM rankings
- Event participation history
- Robot videos (match footage)
- Awards and achievements

**Training applications:**
- Scouting data analysis (past match performance)
- Game strategy (historical data on scoring trends)
- Robot capability benchmarking (against other teams)
- Empirical decision-making (based on real competition data, not gut feel)

## Key Sections

| Section | Use |
|---------|-----|
| Team pages | 2890 match history, event results |
| Event pages | Regional/off-season event data |
| Insights | OPR, DRR, CCWM rankings |
| Match videos | Watch past matches, study strategies |
| GameDay | Live event watching |

## Why It's in the Fabric

TBA provides **empirical data** — real numbers from real competitions. For training:
- Students can analyze match data for scouting practice
- Historical performance informs game strategy decisions
- OPR ratings show team strengths/weaknesses
- Videos provide concrete examples of gameplay

**Data-driven training** — instead of opinions, students learn from what actually happened in competition.

## Monitoring

Check TBA periodically for:
- 2890 new match results
- Off-season event data (WVROX, VCU Rumble)
- Team performance trends
- New robot videos uploaded
