Chalker, my middle school finally got second... can MO have two bids again please? :cry:
It's always Ladue (and Pembroke?) that make nats... shouldn't other teams have a chance too...? :(

Can NSO just have everyone go to nats so it's fair for all teams but simultaneously disregards the whole point and spirit of Science Olympiad?

A quote from the Mission section of the SOINC website (btw sorry if i'm not allowed to quote them i'm not sure but here it is anyway just remove it if it's copyright) "Our mission is to host exciting competitive tournaments..." it does say a lot about promoting science but what's the point if there's no competition.

Hence the reason why states only get a certain amount of bids to nats.

Point acknoweldged..... but Chalker, Texas, with 3 nats level teams, needs 2 bids. To let it go without would be defeating the spirit of SciOly.
