Max Times at Nationals
What do you think will be the maximum times at nationals? I've been getting good times but I'm not sure what to aim for.

Re: Max Times at Nationals
Since nationals is at a 22ish ft ceiling site, I doubt people will reach well over 3 minutes. I have seen several flights (through videos) hitting around 2 min 40 at regular high school gyms, which is typically 22-24 feet high. Official NY state times did not reach two minutes, under a ceiling around 23 feet, but during practice, I saw several teams over two minutes. There is still time before nationals to test and adjust, however.
This is just my speculation, I won't be competing at Nationals, so I haven't done any digging for flight times since states. Well over two minutes is a good goal.

Aim for 2:45 or better if you want to place in the top 4.CMS AC wrote:What do you think will be the maximum times at nationals? I've been getting good times but I'm not sure what to aim for.

Re: Max Times at Nationals
Raw times at the Michigan State Tournament, no bonuses/penalties
There were 6 or more times above 3 minutes two teams had 2:30 or so flights.
The teams coming to nationals are in that group.

I believe it was somewhere in the range of 20 feet (from what I can remember from looking at the state website a few weeks ago)seadog wrote:What was the height of the gym at the Michigan Tournament?
