I might have the scoresheet somewhere, just need to look for it...

Ok, I figured it out, they went to Manchester.

We still don't have a schedule for Regionals at Purdue...

You know how that went?

Yeah, that's annoying. We just started scheduling regionals/state, both schedules are somewhat bad for us but they definitely could've be worse.

i'm actually on EC's team.

At our invite:

1st Northridge 56
2nd EC Central 73
3rd Whiting 78

i cant really remember whether northridge b or beech grove got 4th....which ever did, the other got 5th...both had over 100...

is the state schedule out already?

The state schedule is up on the IUPUI SO website, but you need to google-search to get there, because there isn't a link from the state website.

The state schedule looks basically okay for us. It's not great, but it's certainly better than it is sometimes. It's certainly better than Nationals last year, which was awful. I think we had something like nine events where the same people were doing it at Nats who'd done it at state.

Since we have three people working on almost every event, I think we'll be fine adapting to the Regionals schedule on short notice, but it is really annoying that we still don't know who's competing in each of them.


I found an article on the internet that said Manchester placing was Riley, Northridge, Bloomington South.

Edit: Class B was Manchester, Southport, LaSalle.

sorry to just like completely make a blind jump into this discussion, but my team went to manchester.

ah...the cold was simply so glorious i couldn't feel my nose.

besides that, though, it was incredibly helpful in learning about event i've never done before/had no idea of what to do in.

UNfortunately, half the team didn't show up so a bunch of people got thrown into events and did silly things in experimental design.

Is cold just an inescapable part of S.O.? It seems like there's been snow on the ground for regionals for at least three out of the four years I've done S.O. thus far. The school district has threatened to cancel our buses on two occasions. That's always fun.

Do you consider snow a rarity in February? I would say the one year there wasn't snow was the strange part. Just be glad you can compete indoors.

the last time they did events outside was 2 years ago.

for Storm the Castle[god i miss the whole 'trebuchet' thing even if i was not in that event]

at um...

purdue south lafayette.

yeah.

oh and bottle rocket.

i miss that one too.

Ah! Indiana Science Olympiad. I used to live in Kansas and I was in sixth grade when I competed for the first time. I loved it a lot, but I moved to Indiana and didn't do it for the rest of Middle School. This year, tenth grade, I established a team at my high school. We'll be going to the Ft. Wayne regional on the 7th of February. I'm scared to death - we started insanely late, mostly the fault of our sponsor, but it has become nothing but stress for me. I'm Egg-o-Naut, Elevated Bridge, and Astronomy, and frankly, I don't know what to do. Two weeks and I don't feel prepared at all.
