Funny, the link is giving a 404 error.

We should find a way to discuss this somewhere else; as the first post says only to post results and is not for discussion

From State Tournament results.

A surprisingly solid for nobody in NY and their first ever appearance at nationals!

Nobody is a K-12 school that simultaneously exists in SoCal and NY. Having never qualified for regionals, this year their 24+ teams made an incredibly strong showing, sweeping every placement from first to last in both states. They will be sending four teams to Nats this year to compete with their rival, COVID-19.

Fitting, you guys lose your 24 year streak to "nobody."
Kinda puts a twits on "Nobody can beat Troy."

starts praying Texas states doesn't get cancelled

TEXAS HEAT BURN THE CORONA AWAY

On a side note: what's gonna happen to nats?
(can Texas get bids now if it doesn't cancel?)

Can we get Sassy to target COVID-19 one clue, and just all refuse to solve the clue?

If troy has won so many times in a row. Why don't they just...give them the bid?

That's what I hope will happen, but then what happens to Div. B?

This would seem logical, but there's no way they can technically just say Troy goes to nats, because it's "unfair" and "arbitrary." Perhaps they can set the precedent for the future where the state champions from the previous year become the representative the next year, but there's nothing (afaik) that allows this.

Has troy ca ever lost a state tournament?

Yes, in 1995 and before 1994.

Kinda random, but why do you edit a YDRC post containing all of your placements and other signature stuff when you can just put it onto your userpage?

I mean, it's far from ideal, but I would say it's better than sending nobody. In terms of a "last resort" option, you could do a lot worse.
