Illinois 2020

Quite simple reasoning behind this. New Trier, Lyons Township, Crystal Lake Central, and many others went in using unstacked teams.
Only stacked teams would appear to be Stevenson and Naperville North. It will not be until UChicago where more conclusive results can be drawn.

I mean if Stevenson "stacked," they still got both of their teams in the top 3, while NT got none in the top 5...

From my understanding they mixed their team very throughly. It probably won't be till Solon or UChicago where they show their true strength.

Seeing as everyone in the Stevenson team was on both the green and gold team, I’m pretty sure that means we were not stacked.

I didn't take protein modeling, but my partner and I thought that disease detectives was pretty weird/more difficult than we had expected. The only other study event I had was fossils, which wasn't too bad imo. I think it's too early in the season to conclude which schools are the best at ping-pong parachute though, and that was a pretty bad event for most teams. Once people get more testing done, I think that event will get some better results.

Hehehe. Let just say we could have run PPP better than it went. Sorry for the 1 hour delay whoops. Had some depressurization issues so I had to stop launches and reset. I will say top scores where about 7+ secs but I expect that to improve. Very few teirs overall. Probably will improve later in the year.

Top scores were around 15-16 seconds.

IMO, some interesting results from this invite. Anyone know why New Trier didn't make top 5? Seems weird that they didn't do better in Anatomy & Physiology, Ornithology, and their build events. I'm also surprised that Lyons Township Varsity didn't get at least in top 15 overall, given how well they normally do at state and regionals. Naperville North Varsity performed really strong at this invite, so it will be interesting to see how they do at others later in the season. It looks like they will give Stevenson and New Trier another run for their money at state. Any thoughts/predictions?

Neuqua Valley also stacked, and New Trier's superscore seems to show that they can still be competitive with both Neuqua Valley and Naperville North.

Aight Ig we won’t really know how all the teams compare until jib invitational. Is there a list of teams attending?

Last I checked all of the top 45 at nats last year are going, as well as the top 15 at IL States. It’s gonna be a spicy invitational.

Me and Jib will be running all builds. Rumors of the Japan Team attending are unconfirmed.
