I have new respect for people who edit the wiki cause I've tried to upload the updated version of the Covid map for 15 minutes now and failed.
i don't understand

Pepperonipi gonna be wondering if I was sane or not once he looks at the edit history.

EDIT: I modded the graphic in under a minute as well, I just couldn't figure out why I couldn't work the wiki

How I edit the wiki:
1. Look at the page and think, "Oh, I can add something here!"
2. Realize I don't know how any of these buttons work and will probably break something.
3. Wait for someone else to add it.

Half the time I end up breaking something anyway so I tend to stick to neglected pages where no one cares

Lol ngl this was true... it looked like you were just needlessly reverting edits for no reason. No problem, just odd. I'm guessing you didn't see the image instantly refresh on the wiki page and thought you did something wrong? Same thing happened to me the first time I did this - I feel you Joey. ;) Thank you for updating the map though!

Oh shoot I didn't know the wiki seemed this hard to edit! It's probably not as bad as you think, and most of the time just going for it (although it's a WP page, the general message applies to most wikis) won't get you in any trouble. It's actually really fun by the way... let me know if you need any help/guidance!

Also, big thanks to everyone who has helped out with the coronavirus wiki page so far! :) Couldn't be happier to see such a collaborative community effort.

Anyways, to get this thread back on topic:

The cancellation of Ohio's state tourney was pretty sad. :/ More big names gone from this year's nats unfortunately. Hopefully the cancellation trend starts to slow soon.

That's exactly what happened lol.
On the other hand, if nats isn't cancelled (which looks to be less and less likely sadly) the predictions are going to be wild. Troy is gone so.....

I'm an Ohio senior, so no states for me. But cancelling mass gatherings is one of the best things our country can do to defeat this virus. I am disappointed that states was cancelled - but public health is the first priority.

So how would no awards ceremony work? Would you still get medals?
