Re: Towers B/C
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.

Re: Towers B/C
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 MITOtkrlj wrote:I was wondering what the medium score at a fairly commpetitive individual is.

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

Re: Towers B/C
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.

Re: Towers B/C
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)

Re: Towers B/C
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.WhatScience? wrote:Please don't tell me you guys aren't able to build a tower every week.PM2017 wrote:How often do you guys test towers?
