Haha that happened last year too. My partner and I practiced a lot for WIDI before Greenhill, and then they cancelled it. Turns out they didn't set it up right. :(

GOOD LUCK (:

Hey guys; I'm at Greenhill as well. The weather's nicer that last year at least. The only schools I've recognized so far are Kinkaid and Greenhill. If you have any questions, ask, though I don't know how much information I have on specific events.
I just did Dynamic Planet, and Astronomy is coming up.

I don't know what you mean by irony machine, whether it's sarcasm or some sort of special object

It's brobo's StC... a few days before his first invitational he was talking about how his machine was perfect and nothing could go wrong with it... and then, you fill in the rest...

I did WIDI last year at Greenhill.. and I'm pretty sure it wasn't cancelled. o__o But I don't really remember.
But yeah, sucks. I was signed up to do it again this year, and of course, cancelled. Figures.

Well for Div B all i can remember is
1st -- Riverwood A
2nd -- BDJH A and B

This year will be VERY interesting, last year everything was predictable as far as results go. this year we sit there and NO ONE knows what is going to happen ... TOTALLY unpredictable. There was WIDI for Div B. and SciCri at this invite was NOT sciCri!!! :( we got in and they told us, "take off all your safety gear, you are not testing anything,this is completely written. and you may only use your notes if they are ENTIRELY handwritten. ( :o ) anything typed is NOT allowed." then they gave us the test and it had NOTHING to do with SciCri, it was all random stuff for like if you were FBI or something, (like where was the first paid police force, or what instrument is used to identify paint crystals etc) and alll the spelling was British (like Tyre and Fibre) :( :evil: Not fair.
ah well... Hopper is 2 days after we get back from winter break. back to studying!
