Is there anyway to determine how the WSU invitational will "rank" in terms of difficulty compared to other tournaments? I count at least 9 different defending state champions for Division B (with most bringing multiple teams). Would it be a stretch to say this will be the 2nd most difficult tournament in the nation after Nationals?

That's pretty hard to say, I doubt many of the teams showing up to Wright State will be at full strength. They simply haven't had enough time to prepare throughout the whole season. However, on the other hand I'm sure they will all be putting forth tremendous effort and you're correct when you say there will be some very elite competition showing up.

Are you here, Chalker? Will I be able to meet you?

Both of the Chalkers on this message board and the other two involved in SO will be around all day tomorrow. Stop us and say hello, we won't be too hard to miss.

So my friend and I are at wright state right now, and we conducted a little experiment...
It turns out that the score board that displays how many events remain to be scored is a huge hoax!
It's just a loop that automatically counts one down every 140 seconds. And people cheer like fools every time it counts down

Wow.. figured that out all by yourself did you? It's an easy thing for us to do to entertain you before things start.. and notice they did start right on time and ended on time too!

Here's the complete PDF of all the results (in both team number and rank order version;) from the WSU Invitational

Would love to hear feedback (both positive and negative) on the tournament so we can make appropriate changes for Nationals.

I'm disappointed... But I did find Chalker7, I think.

I'd have to say it went very well, although there were a few little bumps, (for example a piece of caution tape strung across the rotor egg drop landing zone tore apart my rotors)
