So at my regionals the proctor did the distance in 1 meter increments based on 9, 10, 11... (but only 3 possible distance seem too small.), but the way I see the rule it should be 8.7, 9.7, 10.7... they both seem right to me when I thought about it. But the reason I bringing this up is what should I expect at state 8 ,8.5, 9, 9.5... or 8.7, 9.2, 9.7, 10.2...

Whoa! I would've been ticked! The rules plainly state the distances to be 8.7, 9.7, 10.7 & 11.7 and this is what most have practiced.

Same, but I practiced both just in case the proctor pulled something stupid. Which my state's proctors are known to do.

Ours did that too at first, but they changed it when the mistake was pointed out to them.

Ya my proctor basically acted like I was wrong even though I proved him wrong twice. And I will infer that mean I should expect 8.7, 9.2, 9.7a,... etc. at state

I've given up on proctors at my school.

Last year, for Gravity Vehicle, the proctor didn't read the event rules, and until I pointed it out to them, didn't do the height score.

The good thing is, apparently everyone before us sucked.

I would assume 8.7, 9.2, etc. because having it stop at 8 would technically have it stop before the run time could be determined.

I was wondering what the relative scores are in the sense of what exactly counts as good?

You said it, a good score is "relative". You will really start seeing this at the State level. Each of one regions top 4 teams may perform considerably better than the number one team from another region. At the state level for this event I am sure that the top 3 will have scores in the 20-50 range.

Ah man, I just bought a 3/8'' aluminum rod for my body, but the clamps i ordered along to hold it in place are too large for the rod (i misread the dimensions).

Any ideas on how to salvage the situation? My states competition is in 4 days, and there's not enough time to order online.
