Massachusetts 2017

Any idea when the results will be published? Also, what is Newton North's total?

My captain told me they're being released later today... I'm curious how badly I messed up Astro...

Do you know if we are allowed to discuss questions from the test?

Ha, this is my first year of scioly and I only discovered the forums recently, I have no clue. Maybe ask a more general question in the Astro thread? Or just PM

Either way, congrats on that 1st Ecology in your first year!!

Tentative results show us in 46th for WIDI... That's literally last place! (lower scores are DQ) I'm convinced something went wrong in the grading because we're not THAT bad at WIDI...

Other than that though, congrats to AB!

This was Winchester's second year and we got the same placing, 6th, but we lost a huge group of carrying seniors so we view it as an improvement. And we're not losing any seniors this time so watch out next year, we could creep into top 3

And thanks for the congratulations antoine_ego, next year I'm hoping to get two medals

Dude, same for WIDI. We talked about it after and we thought we got everything right. Then... We got 17th place in WIDI. Ever so slightly soul-crushing. I think there was something screwy with WIDI.

Updated, but still tentative Scores:

1. Acton-Boxborough Regional High School (75) - Qualifies for the National Tournament
2. Newton South - (126)
3. Newton North - (165)
4. Belmont (218)
5. Boston Latin (261)

Note that Newton South and Newton North switched places mainly due to a discrepancy in Materials Science, where it appears they were originally marked as not participating.

Updated Tentative Scoresheet

So does anyone think there would be interest in a B Division, university-run invitational in New England? I'm going to uni there and while there have been many high-end div C tournaments popping up, there aren't many div B tournaments besides Cornell. If it would be at my uni, UMass-Amherst, it's an hour away from Boston and New York, which isn't too far for many teams. There would also be the problem of actually running the tournament, and since that area (western Mass) is pretty unfamiliar with Scioly I would probably do most of the work, which is probably really difficult for a college student like I will be.

I would think that there would be definite interest; currently I don't know of any invitationals hosted in New England for B Division. In terms of hosting it, it probably would be a decent amount of work, so you could try capping the teams to make it more feasible, but the interest would probably be there if you were able to host.
