Hi, Chalker, sorry for another request! Could you tell me the score difference for Fossil Div. C between 18th place and 6th place. Thank you!

16 points.

For the rest of you asking for absolute values, I'm generally staying away from sharing those as they don't really give you any perspective. Point differences, max/mean/min can be helpful to understanding where things stood and how much you missed a medal by.

Hi, Chalker

Could you tell me the score difference for Experimental Design C between 27th and 6th place. Also, if you could include the score difference between 6th and 1st, that would be great!

Thanks!

Slight correction , 16 points was between 27th and 1st. I wasn't paying close enough attention to this.

Hi Chalker!
Sorry for another request, but could you tell me the difference between 13th and 6th protein modeling and 6 to 1st?
Thanks in advance!

For those curious about It's About Time (I saw there were a few):

Test Average: 25.5 out of 50 (Std Dev: 8.9). Only two teams were above 40/50.
Time Average: 41.8 out of 50. Standard Deviation isn't really applicable; it is sharply peaked in the upper 40s.

Actually I was curious, thanks! Would you mind putting up the 1st place score?

My partners and I did Experimental Design at Nationals this year (Division B). I thought that we followed the rubric really well, but we got in the 20s. I know our experiment was trash, but I didn't think that it affected as that much. I was wondering if there is anything significant that was emphasized when they graded the test? Is there anything my partners and I should focus on for next year?

Also is there anyway I could contact the event supervisor for Division B, I couldn't find the contact email on the National Website.

Thanks in advance.
