I know Daniel Wright, who got second, got 18 and 16 seconds in Bottle Rockets, tier 1 obviously. Solon, who got first, I'm not sure about, although I imagine it would be a total of 36-40 seconds.
Bottle Rockets: 5th
Ecology: 9th
Hovercraft: 14th
Scrambler: 29th (with a failed run too  ;))

We have a general policy at Nationals of not posting all the raw data. Some is released as part of the Test Packets available in the soinc.org store though.

What kind of data is included in the test packet? Is it mean, median, range, etc., or raw scores of the top six teams?

I believe for some of the events it's the complete scoring spreadsheet for the event. I haven't seen one in several years, so perhaps someone else who has can chime in here.

It depends on the event. Academic only events will have the exam and key included with no raw scores or ranks. Lab based (such as wind power) will usually have raw build scores and test scores. Build only will have raw scores. Keep in mind, this is only what it has been in the past and does not dictate what it will be in the future.

I'm interested, what were the top scores for Game On, and what did we (A-B) get?

I feel like they could all be pretty high and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a perfect (or more than one)

Also for game on, one of my friend was pretty confident after doing game on at nats, but ended up in the 50s. Did he get tiered or was it just very competitive?

Why the secrecy on the scores?

Invasives- The test was really good except the time constraint made me flustered and I didn't ID a few things correctly, oops. I liked how they had a ton of live specimens though

Food Science- The test was great(except for the tofu question like wtf) and I was kind of expecting the labs to be ice cream and curds because those are the two hardest ones to do

Ward Melville wasn't tiered. Max was 80, average was 50.
