Regional and state tournament dates have been posted, sans the C State date. Most host sites are the same - Augusta University is replaced after one year by the University of Georgia's resurrected regional, and Perimeter College-Clarkston is replaced by Perimeter College-Dunwoody as the tournament director of the former has retired.

UGA Invitational results,

Track A
1. Walton H.S. - A (131)
2. FCS Innovation Academy - A (206)
3. River City Science Academy - RaTs (218)
4. Chattahoochee H.S. - A (226)
5. James Clemens H.S. (236)
6. Fulton Science Academy - 2 (250)
7. Fulton Science Academy - 1 (269)
8. Brookwood H.S. - B (275)
9. GSMST - B (305)
10. Brookwood H.S. - A (314)
Strong performance from FCS Innovation Academy, it seems likely that if trends continue they could make it into the top 5 this year. Everything else seems fairly ordinary - Walton leads early on but FSA will likely close on them over time, Chattahoochee seems weaker than last year while Brookwood appears about the same. No huge movements in the middle ranks, although Decatur may be improved as they're looking stronger than some of the teams they lost to at regionals last year.

Track B
1. RMSST Gold (105)
2. Northgate T-Rex (112)
3. Northgate Velociraptor (131)

Full scores are on the Wiki and Duosmium as usual.

Also - updated OP to add the Div C state tournament date.

Dodgen-Walton Invitational results,

Track AA
1. Sierra Vista M.S. - Zest (123)
2. Sierra Vista M.S. - Optimism (130)
3. Sierra Vista M.S. - Gratitude (146)
4. Sierra Vista M.S. - Curiosity (164)
5. Jay M. Robinson M.S. - Varsity (175)
6. Sierra Vista M.S. - Grit (176)
7. Piney Grove M.S. (274)
8. Fulton Science Academy (291)
9. Fulton Science Academy (315)
10. Fred J. Carnage M.S. (316)
Incredibly dominant performance by Sierra Vista. Despite their track record I still underestimated their strength - only two points away from sweeping the top 5. Even a superscored FSA would not pass any of their teams (though due to splitting effects I suspect that if FSA had actually stacked they probably would beat at least one Sierra Vista team). JMR looks very strong this year, coming back from a 3rd place finish at State last year. Piney Grove looks to be on the upswing - or perhaps Dodgen is on a downswing - after the events of last year. Crews doesn't seem like they are having a big step up so far, considering their 5th place finish at State in the first year last year. Bearden looks strong again, they had a downturn after Covid but have recovered substantially lately, so should be interesting to see if they'll be able to qualify for Nationals - I don't believe we'll see them face Cedar Springs at any invitationals this season though.

Track A
1. Autrey Mill M.S. (101)
2. Hightower Trail M.S. (133)
3. Vickery Creek M.S. (154)
4. River City Science Academy Southeast (155)
5. Henderson M.S. (160)
6. Autrey Mill M.S. (175)
Strong performance by Autrey Mill, enough that they may be able to break into the top 5 at States, seems likely that Hightower Trail can return to the top 10, and RCSA Southeast has certainly performed better than their prior year's result at State. Hard to say too much here as the points of comparison are fairly limited, especially this early in the season.

Full scores are on the Wiki and Duosmium as usual.

Southeast Georgia Invitational results,

Division B
1. Wilmington Academy of Arts and Sciences (49)
2. River City Science Academy M.H.S (67)
3. Saint James Catholic School - A (81)

Division C
1. River City Science Academy M.H.S. - A (41)
2. River City Science Academy M.H.S. - B (65)
3. Savannah Christian Preparatory School (118)

Nothing too unexpected in the results. Looks like RCSA Middle-High split tournaments in Div B with Dodgen-Walton. Good to see the growth in size.

Battle of the Bees Invitational results,

1. Piney Grove M.S. - Grove (111)
2. Bearden M.S. - A (164)
3. Fulton Science Academy - Blue (172)
4. Cedar Springs Homeschool - A (183)
5. Dodgen M.S. - A (200)
6. Alton C. Crews M.S. - Gold (254)
7. Autrey Mill M.S. - 1 (264)
8. Taylor Road M.S. - C (300)
9. Autrey Mill M.S. - 2 (341)
10. River Trail M.S. - 1 (363)

Very strong performance from Piney Grove, seems quite possible that they can get a Nationals bid directly this year. Also nice showing by Bearden, they were down a bit post-Covid but have recovered very strongly in recent years.

Small addendum to BotB results: There was a small scoring error between two of the Piney Grove teams in Boomilever, the top 10 is in actuality:

1. Piney Grove M.S. - Grove (111)
2. Bearden M.S. - A (164)
3. Fulton Science Academy - Blue (172)
4. Cedar Springs Homeschool - A (183)
5. Dodgen M.S. - A (200)
6. Alton C. Crews M.S. - Gold (254)
7. Autrey Mill M.S. - 1 (264)
8. Taylor Road M.S. - C (300)
9. Autrey Mill M.S. - 2 (341)
10. Piney Grove M.S. - Grizzly (352)

River Trail manages to drop entirely out of the T10...not quite sure how to feel about this, as a RTMS alum...

Greenbrier Invitational results,

Division B
1. Alton C. Crews M.S. - A (89)
2. Alton C. Crews M.S. - B (90)
3. Wilmington Academy of Arts and Sciences (92)
4. Bearden M.S. - A (94)
5. Jay M. Robinson M.S. - A (96)
6. Jay M. Robinson M.S. - B (144)

Division C
1. Chattahoochee H.S. - A (64)
2. Lakeside H.S. - 1 (71)
3. Southeast Bulloch H.S. - A (126)
4. Lakeside H.S. - 2 (138)
5. Chattahoochee H.S. - B (140)
6. Clinton H.S. (152)

In Div B, good result for Crews, as well as for Bearden as they look to be continuing their climb, maybe they will qualify for Nationals this year. Jay M. Robinson looks to have brought their JV teams. Div C is a predictable blowout by Chattahoochee (only held back by some No Shows), with Lakeside correspondingly far ahead of anyone else, though they don't have the level of depth that they used to. Lots of new teams in the area competing (or attempting to compete - can be tough with a small team). Was nice for me to get back into running tournaments.

Brookwood Invitational results,

1. Walton H.S. - A (120)
2. Chattahoochee H.S. - B (122)
3. Brookwood H.S. - A (169)
4. Fulton Science Academy - 1 (183)
5. Walton H.S. - B (279)
6. Northview H.S. - Megatron (314)
7. FCS Innovation Academy - A (332)
8. Brookwood H.S. - B (394)
9. South Forsyth H.S. - Pine (395)
10. GSMST - A (442)

Surprisingly competitive at the top - many people, myself included, had written off Chattahoochee and Brookwood as far as Nationals bids go, but they were very much able to compete here, and it looks like the contention for Nationals bids will be very competitive once again. Walton seems like the strongest team so far, but things are close enough that it's hard to tell. Below them, things are shaking out as expected among the usual suspects for top 10 , with Innovation Academy continuing to push up against a potential top 5 at State if things go well for them. Yellow Jacket in two weeks should be an interesting test.
