400!? In my state, 1st to 6th place were within 400 points.

Nebraska is crazy, my team s way above every other team, we have won the last 14 years in a row by like 50 points. They had scores posted on a white board in the testing room and it was 1228 ( us) then 800 then 600 then a lot of team in the 300 to 400 range. Most teams make a tower that can nearly hold 15kg but it weighs like 25-30g
Saw one tower that was popsicle sticks stacked like Lincoln logs

Omg I love Lincoln logs. But that tower probably had a score of like 10 or got dqed or tiered...

I agree, Lincoln Logs are DOPE!!! But aren't popsicle sticks banned since they are wood composites?

Well if they were popsicle sticks, then they probably got dqed. I saw someone who used really thick pieces of wood (maybe1"x1"?) pieces for legs and also to connect the legs. It fell over after like 10 seconds...

On the board they showed the tiers and Lincoln Irving got tier 4, what could make you get that

I guess the real question is how far above 2500, and would it be possible for them to break the 3000 mark.
Because my guess is that an efficiency of 2500-2600 should be enough to place this year, barring any extremely high states results that I have yet to hear about.
