congrats to all the WLI teams going to states (I know I said that on a diff post but whatever).

gneissisnice, it looks like i will not be seeing you at states (see list on post above--my team? not up there)

Awwwwwwwww. =(

And Eaststroud, for our school, in the jr high we wait to make the teams; we see who comes to practice, who knows their stuff, what events we need filled, etc, and we make the teams based off that. Gelinas usually competes with 10 people at regionals, so we have room to move people up. At the high school, we go based on past performance and what events are needed. Seniors generally get priority, but thats not always the case (this year, we only have 5 out of 7 seniors). We have one varsity, and the rest of the teams are made based on who wants to do what event with what partner. So team 4 is not any worse than team 2, its just how we organize them.

The Capital Region teams going to States are...

1. Columbia <--- My school!
2. Niskayuna
3. Balston Spa
4. Roxbury

Interestingly, Nisky B team actually came in 4th, but they can't bring two teams so the spot was given to Roxbury

from eastern LI our sumo guy came from a late event. i think he made it within the two minutes. actually i have a question tho. do they start penalizing if you don't show up during the two minutes or after it? cuz i remember making an event very close to the starting time...so do they penalize u, even a little bit?

Hey, would you happen to be Andrew Li? Because if not, he's doing all the same events as you and he's from Long Island (in my school).
If so, hi Andrew.

Hey gneissisnice and htmlfreak, I'm not sure if you know me but I'm Roshan and I used to go to Gelinas until 9th grade, I never actually went to Ward Melivlle. I'm sure Andrew will remember me if that is him, but Gneissisnice let me know who you are if you know me

[gneissisnice]

When did you go? Im a senior now, so I dont know if I was there the same time as you.
Sorry, I dont think I remember you =(
Im Bouk (not my full name, but enough for people to recognize me).
Actually, i vaguely remember something. I'll ask Andrew, im sure he'll enlighten me.

Hey first time doing Science Olympaids, from Eastern LI , our team didnt get into states but just wondering is states the same date every year?

[Rosh93]

Oh alright, yeah I don't think I knew you. I'm a junior now, and I left Gelinas at the end of my ninth grade year; so you were already at Melville by then. But I was only in SO during my seventh grade year then so you probably couldn't remember me from that. But, I definitely know Andrew, it'd be great to know that he visits these forums too

[htmlfreak]

omg rosh93 long time no talk. and btw yes im andrew. that didnt last long

trajectorygirl: i don't think states is on the same date every year. its always in march, but the date may vary. definitely not march 14th tho...SATs.

so theres just 2-3 teams left for NY regionals?

thanks htmlfreak congrats to everyone who made it to states! good luck!
