Re: State Tournament Results
Also, Northshore almost got 3rd i think (tiebrakers?). But were pretty far off from 2nd.kate! wrote:Eagle Hill got 15th in WIDI, 10th in Optics, and 10th in Dynamic Planet.

Re: State Tournament Results
The tests at state were very basic. Way too short and way too much time on them. It made it very hard for good teams to place in events that they normally dominate. This in turn made it hard to separate the different skill levels. I do not know if this was one of the factors for Northshore's 4th place but it was a factor that effected placing for my team.dxu46 wrote:Wasn't Northshore at 2017 nats?

Re: State Tournament Results
Can't help but feel bad for teams that miss nationals by one point. Even then any team that comes within 5 points wonders what could have been improved on.

Re: State Tournament Results
While I agree with this statement, there is also an advantage to the same team winning 23 years in a row, with similar tests given at the state tournament every year."The best teams should be able to do well on difficult tests AND horrible tests like at your state tournament."

Re: State Tournament Results
The statement i believe was supposed to be saracastic.... Horrible tests make it very hard to differentiate mediocre teams from good teams, and good teams from great teams. This can lead to teams that normally place top three in an event now placing top 8 in it at the state level.Ender1982 wrote:While I agree with this statement, there is also an advantage to the same team winning 23 years in a row, with similar tests given at the state tournament every year."The best teams should be able to do well on difficult tests AND horrible tests like at your state tournament."
