That's what I've been doing. Successfully? Who knows, but I'm certainly giving it my best shot.Unome wrote:Do some builds, and either compete in them at competition if you have timeslots free, or find some reliable people to run them at competition.calvin102111 wrote:My team has lost 90% of it's builders...

Re: Your Daily Random Comment
Sorry to hear about that...perhaps you could take on the builds on the other events that the three aren't doing, then assign others who are potentially interested in helping run (if not build) the build testing during competition? Similar to what Unome said pretty much.calvin102111 wrote:That's what I've been doing. Successfully?

I thought this was relevant

Re: Your Daily Random Comment
Today I recognized a scioly.org member on last year's Jeopardy Teen Tournament.
...which means that either I have a really good memory, or I unconsciously stalk people
Anyway, good luck to GNS at Conestoga this weekend! (and everyone else too, but I'm rooting for GNS and Penncrest
)

Re: Your Daily Random Comment
Three more meetings and then my kids head to regionals...
I'm really, really worried. They just recently came short at a competition, 7th and 11th out of 44 teams.
I dont think my identification drills are working. Ive sent 5 quizlets and they all ace identification on that; but as soon as they see an actual mineral they can't tell augite from hornblende. They've printed out everything on scioly.org and taken just about every test so what am I doing wrong???
