The 10 medals was also interesting...But I think it was fine .

On another note I don't see an issue with the penalty...especially from what happened with Monroe Woodbury? They definitely informed the teams tons of times and honestly the issue with paper work is completely different from the one with unattended rooms imo. We've been booted to the cafeteria years ago when people were messing around in the room and I feel if that's true, I believe it was, then that's deserved. A ruined computer system or messed up room, after running regionals, is something nobody wants. I also think point penalties are better than a dq at least if I had to pick. My opinion is things that damage schools, people, property, cheating, etc that doesn't go with the code of conduct deserves a dq, else some alternative penalty. Sorry if I misunderstand.

Yo, shouldn't you change your division to Grad?

Also maybe because teams missed a judging assignment (i.e., the teacher wasn't present at the event to judge). Cardozo head coach had a personal matter for the day and only showed up before the awards, so he missed his Boom assignment. I am pretty sure they were supervised the whole way through.

@YUSO, I'll PM you XD. Even if it's not as stressful and all, still kinda sad to never get to nats after all that...obviously stuff moves on, the scioly cycle continues (that is competitor->proctor/writer ).
