The closest thing I've seen is Yale plotting grades on a distribution graph. Still doesn't automatically tell you what scores you got.

Last year Sylvania-Northview put them into individual spreadsheets and put them online, and UPenn released a spreadsheet to all of the teams that attended with the raw scores for every event.

Westlake also releases raw scores, and is very diligent with their test sets in making sure everything is complete (which is why I go to great lengths to trade for the set).

Yikes, I haven't posted, like, at all this season. That means too much SO (I miss that eyeroll emoji that would've gone here)...anyway, if anybody out there can help a guy, here's my dilemma: I signed up one of my teams for a further away invitational, and the tournament director (against my request of no build events) saddled me with Mystery Architecture. If anybody has any ideas of what supplies to pull for this one (both as construction materials and loads), I'm all ears, as I'm really out of my element with this one. I tried to get out of it, but they didn't have anybody else, so...reading the topic, I saw spaghetti come up, and Clinic materials weren't too insightful, either. :|

Straws, tape, popsicle sticks... not too sure, I don't know much about the event.

I mean, who does? I pride myself on preparing engaging, original events, but this one is looking like I'm going to open a cabinet and take out whatever I can find enough of. :| So much fun...

As someone who hasn't looked much at the event, it just seems like building stuff with Write It Do It scraps to me.

On a more helpful note though, the image gallery has pictures from a competition (2008 nationals?) that used chopsticks.

Good call; I never would have thought to look there! Every photograph there depicts wooden structures. I guess that makes sense.
