ok...then wat school?? did u make it to state??? Like I said, I wouldn't worry about it...and prob state-bound or else I'd retire from here 'til next season :roll: and rumor....yes..last year...if i remember correctly..some booing towards dw and steven...then again...i shouldn't be talking... :oops: :oops: :oops: was slightly aggravated at their awards..they did show off a bit Yanno what, though, if we were from their school, I guess we would be as, uh...spirited...as they are. I'm just frustrated that their Ornith team was 25-30pts ahead of every other team. I think their coach was feeding them test answers or, more probably, feeding the Regional test stuff her team practiced with.....and we cheered every time they didn't get a medal..but bad sportsmanship and that was last year....im getting over that "nastyness" that came up in me....glad i didn't see them at regionals this year Are you up against them at state? Is your school usually/always AA? I dunno, so I';m asking....

that stinks, I know what you mean in an invitational eariler I was doing ecology and my notes were confiscated because i dont have a duplex printer and I stapled 2 sheets together (to make 1 sheet) and the superviser thought that I was some how cheating...

What are you guys getting for helicopters at your schools for C division? our schools helicopter person is only getting about a minute and a half and we dont know if thats good or not.

That or feed the paper back into your printer and print on the other side. That should solve your problem. (to make 1 sheet) and the superviser thought that I was some how cheating...

Helicopter times for state that medal should be 2 minutes+ in division AA. I've been getting around 2 minutes in the armory, which is where the state competition is held. 98 foot ceiling, you do the math.

Not true. Or, at least, I don't believe so. My team was still shouting and cheering over our best finish yet. And even though most of us aren't thrilled with Stevenson, I would hope that all the other schools had the RESPECT not to boo them. My Forensics partner was upset, but he was still very angry over Forensics and the way Stevenson ran it (he just found out we lost a tiebreaker. . .I think I'll stay away for a while).
There once was a group of teens
Who were lean mean science machines.
They liked to win medals,
when everything settles
and their favorite color was green.

Okay, thanks, that's...kinda what I figured. Wasn't the most reliable source, you know what I mean?

Well, that's fair. Everyone gets a little edgy when they lose the next place up by 0.anything. I saw a team (my team) beat another team (2nd vs. 3rd) by .2, and that wasn't because of a tiebreaker. It sucks, but that's math.
