1.2500+
2-4. 2000+
5-8. 1700+
8-15. 1500+
I think 1st would be near 2100
2-4 around 1850-2000
5-6 1750
Top 15-1500-1600
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought I read somewhere that the 2014 nats div c winner hit like 2300, and 2014 required longer boomis. So someone ought to score above that this year.
Let's just say that in practice building a boom to Div. C requirements is insanely hard to do efficiently and even top teams struggle as seen with most invitationals having teams in the top 10 with just a score of 500 points... Given that I think that my 2.5k score is a stretch but is feasible if SOUP or UPSO yield any teams with a 2k score.

I believe 2014 ruleset was only slightly longer (5 cm). The top score from that year would be right around 1950 or 2000. Most top teams are either in the 1000 group or breaking the 1500 barrier, with a select few above the 1800 mark. Top score I predict will be 2100 with little deviation for placement. The drop after will probably be much more pronounced since Boomilever seems to be difficult for many of the traditional top teams and much can go wrong.

Do you guys think the scores will be different since there have a been a couple of high tier invites that happened?
I think
1: 2700
2-3: 2500
4-6: 2000
