Illinois 2015

hi guys does anyone know how long a decent elastic launch glider flight in the armory at u of i would be? we havent flown in any buildings with ceilings as high and we would like to have something to compare our flights to when we get there. thanks!

Usually 1 second per foot of height is a good time. How tall is the ceiling? Try to find a place with a ceiling at least as high as the one you will have at the tournament since you definitely want your glider to start gliding from as high as possible.

The ceiling is 98 feet in the Armory!

Does anyone know where Protein Modeling is? The schedule says ME building, but that doesn't exit. It's either MEL or MEB, and I'm not sure which.

[laneyoung]

It's MEB.

Does anyone have the results?

Illinois (and a few others) use a scoring system called Avogadro (avogadro.ws) wherein results are usually released to the public after tournaments until the next season. Here is B, and here is C.

Illinois B
5. Grayslake
4. South
3. Science & Arts
2. Marie Murphy
1. Daniel Wright

Illinois C
5. Neuqua Valley
4. Lyons Township
3. Hinsdale Central
2. New Trier
1. Stevenson

B fell perfectly within expectation. C is interesting because I haven't been following it. What happened to IMSA? On another note, for those there, I'm fairly surprised that they ran out of medals. I've seen that at the invitational level, but it's quite unusual for the State level!
