Hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

Most scores at nats I feel will revolve around the 2.5k mark (a slightly more than 7g tower w/ bonus) at the 1-15th places? That would be a pretty good score. (This is Div C)
Our initial test tower built to confirm the design (prior to making a fixture) scored a 2620 and it was hastily built in about 3 hours...
I will stick to my 4000 prediction for the Nationals winner.

4k would mean bonus holding all at 5g. I think this is a stretch and is physically possible, however will not be achieved. 5.5g holding all with bonus is my guess

Tested a tower today. Not going to give much detail, but 8390g + 5000g bonus / 5.44g = 2461.4 efficiency, not bad for the first tower this year. I used all X's, 1/8" legs, and 1/16 x 1/32 braces.

Re: PICTURES, SCORES, VIDEOS!!!
This year it seems that the mid range will be much more competitive for the bonues. I expect the average score at fairly competitive invites to be around 1500- 2000. 2k will be much easier to hit this year. However, once you get into the 3k range it will be much lower score. Last year someone hit 3800, I think the winning score will be around that. Hitting to the 2500 range gets a bit more tough. But those who go above will face less competition. In the middle there will be fierce competition, once "rare" scores of 2k will be all over this year. I give anything above 3200 will medal at nats. (this is all for b)

Re: PICTURES, SCORES, VIDEOS!!!
Per the video, this must be at Boyceville, with (presumably) Marconnet et al running it. It also looks like you finished in first place.cheese wrote:2180.12 competition tower: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ziyevg ... sp=sharing
