Huh. California is going through a bit of a wild card year, maybe this is the year for Kennedy? I know they could compete at a national level and do well, competing against top schools kinda conditions you to work harder.
I don't know much about SAA so I'll skip that, but your Bala Cynwyd prediction wasn't that longshot. 17th to 12th is certainly doable, although putting them before springhouse...¯\_(ツ)_/¯ could go either way though.
Now;;;;;;lets talk about the fact that you picked kraemer as the div b SoCal champion...![]()

Re: Way Too Early Predictions
Actually their nationals score is almost the same as what they had in 2014 (when they placed 9th) and their state score is seriously messed up by an NC-only event. They may not be as good as they were in 2015, but I wouldn't quite say they're going downhill.daydreamer0023 wrote:Um, might say now that Piedmont isn't as dominant as it was before - scores a dropping.

Edit: The usual signs being a large standard deviation in point scores, and an unsteady rise (which, as the 6th place in 2015 shows, is probably not happening). But as you said, we really don't know much until the season starts (in five weeks! omg)

That's exactly what was thinking...I noticed a geometric sequence in their nats rankings since 2014.Adi1008 wrote:2014 - Beckendorff 1st

Oh yeah, that reminds me...
My school:
2013: 13th at state
2014: 9th at state
2016: 5th at state
2017: 1st at state???? (but how are we going to beat beckendorff?)
Notice the arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 4?

Re: Way Too Early Predictions
There's a missing 2015 though xD But I guess in that case Beckendorff could get 2nd at state and yall could get firsttexas wrote:That's exactly what was thinking...I noticed a geometric sequence in their nats rankings since 2014.Adi1008 wrote:2014 - Beckendorff 1st

Re: Way Too Early Predictions
2015 is missing because I was in 5th grade at the time therefore could not compete in scioly therefore our team sucked. Also, our team sucks this year. All the former eighth graders went to SLHS or tompkins. (BTW I know that SLHS doesn't tell the SLJH kids about their tryout test, they only let the Beckendorff kids know, we're not that stupid you know)Adi1008 wrote:There's a missing 2015 though xD But I guess in that case Beckendorff could get 2nd at state and yall could get firsttexas wrote:That's exactly what was thinking...I noticed a geometric sequence in their nats rankings since 2014.Adi1008 wrote:2014 - Beckendorff 1st

^^^ I didn't mean to be rude or anything, but SLHS should give former SLJH kids a chance to try out. My friend from scioly (he's now a freshman in SLHS) and his mom told us they had no idea when the SLHS tryout test was. But my friend, who goes to Beckendorff, told me that SLHS let Beckendorff kids try out in the end of the school yr or the beginning of summer.
