Doesn't appear that NH B accepted the bid.

Congratulations to Washington for two Div B bids!

A note for those Californians who care: for the last two years SoCal has been B1 and C1, while NorCal has been B2 and C2. So far I haven't found any definite reason for this; it doesn't match with their relative team registrations, and there's not much else to go by.

We just had the Wisconsin state competition at UW-Stout, and just an FYI for all those people going to Nationals, It is a nice campus, with tons of space, similar to that of Last years Nationals. The only problem is that it just snowed about an inch overnight (when we stayed) and temperatures were in the lower 40's (I mean... this is April!!!!). So if you are coming from a warmer place, pack accordingly for cold weather, because it would suck if you froze like a popsicle as soon as you got out of your Bus/Plane/other transportation.

Do you have the results from the tournament?

If there's enough interest, the prediction contest (http://scioly.club/prediction/summary) will make a return shortly after the last state tournament of this season (i.e. after April 30). See last year's topic (http://scioly.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=196&t=6839) if you don't know what I'm talking about.

According to the UW-Stout website, the Johnson Fieldhouse Gym only holds 1800 people, which barely covers the competitors for both divisions (based on comparison with previous years' schedules, awards seems to be combined).

Now I can finally try my hand at event predictions!
