HOW DID YOU DO AT STATE?

Guess what ya'll!!! Ok so for C Division our high school came in 1st so Dorman(3rd place) and Dutch Fork(2nd place) are like that's not fair that they get to go and we don't.

Why wouldn't that be fair? It's not like you guys cheated (I hope).

We didn't cheat. And Dorman has never won & they did really good in a lot of their events. Plus they would have won if Mid-Carolina hadn't pointed out that they had clearly visible weights on their Trajectory device moving them down 8 points in that event. And last: we won by .5 points and 1st and 3rd place were separated by 2.5 points.

That's a really close margin. That probably could've gone either way.

.5? How do you get half a point?

[croman74]

Maybe there was a tie and even after all the tiebreakers they were still tied?

[blufoster6]

You get .5 whenever you tie in an event.

[croman74]

Were there any tiebreakers used?

[EastStroudsburg13]

Does it specify in the official rules whether or not they have to use tiebreakers? Or is it just suggested?

[blufoster6]

On the tests there probably were tiebreaker questions but I think we had ties in the building events.

[EastStroudsburg13]

Aren't there pre-specified tiebreakers in the rules though?

[blufoster6]

I'm not sure
