What did they complain about?

That is was all on Swine Flu, and the scenarios didnt give enough information for anything.

They did, actually - you just had to hunt for it. It was clearly too hard for regionals, though.

Eh, I didn't do it, that's just what I heard.

By the way, if any of you Division B WLI people saw a person wearing a shirt that said "Bring Back Pluto" then you're awesome
Anyway, back to the topic Trajectory I HOPE will be as successful as regionals(1st place) at States!

Do all NY regions take the same Regionals tests?

I doubt it especially since they're not all on the same date.

Heh, maybe. But I think they should have made it more, y'know. Obvious. I mean, save the hunting for States, where most people actually have a chance at finding it! xD
Also, I wish we had to draw an epicurve for that event. But that's just me being selfish.

Looking back, I think I should have practiced more, though. Seriously, the only practice I got was at Invitationals, and the only reason why my partner and I beat our A team was because the A team make a 5 look like an 8, and we won the tiebreaker. Second place.

But for Experimental Design, I was being a little dumb. They wrote (underlined, italicized, and boldfaced) that they were sending antibiotics to Haiti and Chile, blah blah blah. So I thought that meant that when we were done with the event, all of the usable materials would actually be sent there. I was a little confused, wondering how that had anything to do with antibiotics in real life, so I just kind of sat there and stared at the paper for a minute, losing precious time.

And there were so many problems with Eastern LI Regionals too, with the scoring and everything. I do hope it's better next year. :[

for the trajectory event in the c div. states competition next week, where is it gonna be in the indoor track? because i know that stadium very well (i compete there for winter track) but there are different surfaces (the track itself is rough and scratchy, the volleyball court-like thingy is smooth like a school gym, etc) and i wanna know what part of the stadium it's gonna be on

It wasnt on the volleyball courts it was like when you walked in, it was in the backish and to the right of the track. I think it was a smooth surface but im not completely sure.
