Totally forgot I'm actually in the area today. I was driving through campus and saw people with devices and remembered what was happening. If anyone wants to see me play quidditch, I'll be on the grass field across from the ice rink, you can see it looking north from the Walnut Street Bridge.

I heard that they are canceling gravity vehicle scores because they announced the wrong distance

From Penn (email to coaches):

Hello,

Unfortunately, due to a measurement error the target distance was incorrectly announced for Gravity Vehicle. The same error was made on both tracks. After the error was discovered, we did not announce it to the remaining teams in hopes of being as fair as possible under the circumstances. Too many teams had already competed to be able to run all cars again. We deeply regret this mistake and hope teams still benefited from the chance to run their vehicles under competition conditions.

We will still award medals for the event but will drop the score for this event from the overall team rankings. We are very sorry this happened and appreciate the professionalism coaches and competitors demonstrated in response to this error.

Best,
SOUP Executive Board
