Top 5 at nationals will probably be around 2500. 6 thru 10 will probably be over 2000
Class B will be a bit higher.

Are these scores achieved with bridges in compliance with the official rules? I know that the rules officially came out 4 days ago, but I still haven't seen them yet. To anyone who's seen them, are they pretty much the same as this one? http://soinc.org/sites/default/files/up ... _03_05.pdf

Yes they are almost identical. 5 cm wide and 45 cm long for c. I am still confused about the length though. I am wondering if you just have to pass the 45cm line or clear the 45cm line (35cm for division B)

Is 5 cm wide max or min?

The length is the distance between the blocks that the bridge will set on, so the overall length will have to be a fair bit larger.
The 5 cm is "at least".
