I didn't even notice the name switch thingy.

Having never gone head to head, I cannot say.

It's a team that they/we're planning on making. When the team's formed, they'll move to Arkansas and compete in order to make it to Nats. That's the gist of it, really.

You're making those of us who didn't go to nationals feel way more depressed

:(
Zyzzyva, last year our whole team was very depressed that we failed to win the state tournament and qualify for Nationals. Starting the day after the state tournament, our whole team looked forward to this year with a fiery determination to win. Our team's level of obsession increased as the state tournament approached, and we ended up winning state with the best score in Minnesota in a decade.

The road to Nationals can begin now. Channel your disappointment into determination. I know Olathe North can do it.

Oh heck, I know all about that. We lost out on nats two years ago on what we feel was a judging error.

This entire conversation makes me feel even worse that I have to compete against your team, Z, even head to head against you in more than one event next year. :\

We want nats, too. But I get the feeling your team wants it more - and almost deserves it more. Time will tell, I suppose.

And...

Finals start tomorrow. And I'm not ready at all. \stress
