Re: Cornell Invitational (Division B and C)
I like these predictions. However TJ was perfectly unstacked at Duke, and Fairfax beat them by a little. I would switch TJ and Fairfax, but if TJ was stacked I would put them at 7.Name wrote:Div C (Ignoring Team B, assuming everyone stacks, which they probably won't)

2-4 will be close. I think Solon is usually unstacked at invites, but I think they'll win anyway.

Re: Cornell Invitational (Division B and C)
I wouldn't put TJ higher than where they are right now, instead I'd put Fairfax 2 places lower. TJ might beat WM if they do particularly well, but Clark has been very strong this year (I'd actually consider putting them at 6th).Alex-RCHS wrote:I like these predictions.

Website says TJ is bringing one team so I'm presuming they will be stackedAlex-RCHS wrote:I like these predictions. However TJ was perfectly unstacked at Duke, and Fairfax beat them by a little.

Re: Cornell Invitational (Division B and C)
Stacked? Not to sound out of the loop, but is this loading up your team with the top players? Our "A" team is always "stacked", unless we have a pair scoring higher throughout the Invitational schedule, then we move them up. And how would one school know if another school was stacking? Is the purpose of this so a school does not "tip their hand" and fly under the radar throughout Invitationals?

Re: Cornell Invitational (Division B and C)
Yeah, that's basically what stacking is. As for knowing if another team is stacked, I don't think there's really any way to do that unless they say so on here or something, but idk.drcubbin wrote:Stacked?

Re: Cornell Invitational (Division B and C)
I believe the general purpose of unstacking is to give more inexperienced members some experience, and a chance to medal.drcubbin wrote:Stacked?

Thanks all! I figured that what it was - just didn't want to use the term incorrectly and sound ridiculousName wrote:I believe the general purpose of unstacking is to give more inexperienced members some experience, and a chance to medal.drcubbin wrote:Stacked?

Re: Cornell Invitational (Division B and C)
You can tell sometimes if the team brings two teams. One way to tell is if one of those teams placed significantly higher than the other team.emmalasagna wrote:Yeah, that's basically what stacking is.

Re: Cornell Invitational (Division B and C)
To add on to that, they usually pair one new member with a more experienced member. This both motivates the new and old member to study; the old member is more tempted to carry the event, and the new member wants to learn along side the old member.Name wrote:I believe the general purpose of unstacking is to give more inexperienced members some experience, and a chance to medal.drcubbin wrote:Stacked?
