That's well above my pay grade!... I'm not sure, but I assume it is offered only after years and years of selfless volunteering at a number of positions within, and making it known that you are interested in being involved further.

I was wondering what the medium score at a fairly commpetitive individual is. At warrensburg, our tower had a brace break in transport and we frogot our spare wood so our tower scored a score of 652 which is terrable but yet we still got 9th so i was wondering if that was normal or was unusual

It took around 1400 to finish top 20 at MIT

Hun, that makes sense considering that my friend at a different school scored a 680 and got 19/21 at a different compatition. I am not saying warrensburg is anywhere near MIT but its still ok

Hey everybody! I would just like to get a general idea of what a tower to get top 3 at a non competitive state (Missouri) would have to score (at the state competition). I know that many people have commented about top profile invitationals such as MIT which required 1400 to make top 20, and had top 3 around high 2000’s, but I know many of these invitationals are nearly as high-profile/competitive in some events as nationals. I was thinking around 1750 would be enough to get top 3 Div C at state in Missouri but if anyone would care to disagree with me I’d love that. I’m just guessing.

Also there’s a rumor going around that this year Missouri only has 1 place to go to nationals? Previously it has been top 2 at state go to nationals but I think they changed that? If someone knows or could direct me to what forum to ask that question that’d also be great.

How often do you guys test towers? (I'm just trying to get an estimate as to how many towers you guys do per week)

Please don't tell me you guys aren't able to build a tower every week.

Ok, so I'm a board member, and I thought I was pressuring the towers guys too much, so I was trying to get an estimate.
