Re: Unofficial Rankings B
It's a minor factor. It doesn't play a major role. If I were you, I wouldn't worry too much about the single sentence I chose to say about each team.kate! wrote:But like.

I've already explained more than I planned to, so you've got that going for you.kate! wrote:I'm not worried, I just asked you to explain, which clearly you're not going to.EastStroudsburg13 wrote:It's a minor factor.

EDIT: Realizing now that my previous explanation could be interpreted a couple ways, here's a clearer explanation: I used all the factors I consider for every team, and distance is a minor factor. I brought up distance for those two teams because it's a good talking point, not because it affected their placement significantly.

Re: Unofficial Rankings B
Got Bob Miller's score, so the rankings for 45th to 47th have been updated slightly.

Re: Unofficial Rankings B
FWIW, Solon took 1st place in 13 of the 23 events at Ohio State Competition. They are as close to unbeatable as it comes, barring a total melt down, or getting half the team stuck in an elevator. Tower Heights has been severely under-rated. I expect them to finish top 10 as well.
