Re: Pennsylvania 2018
Are the raw scores posted anywhere that anyone knows of? I mean like within events.

Re: Pennsylvania 2018
If it was an order error, idk how they can mess up just the top 6. Given that you claim to have gotten a good score, it isnt possible for the scores to be ranked backwards, otherwise you would be all the way at the end.vb wrote:Low score wins..

When they rank the medalists, they ranked “top 6” highest score first..shrewdPanther46 wrote:If it was an order error, idk how they can mess up just the top 6.

Re: Pennsylvania 2018
Having been privy to the score validation process twice now, I can assure you that it is literally impossible for them to use a different order for the top 6 versus the rest of the teams. A score misstep is possible (perhaps a dropped negative sign?) but it's not an ordering issue.vb wrote:When they rank the medalists, they ranked “top 6” highest score first..shrewdPanther46 wrote:If it was an order error, idk how they can mess up just the top 6.

Re: Pennsylvania 2018
Few things to notice - Springhouse got 72 points last year and 73 last year, which is literally no difference.
On the other hand, shady side got about 30 LESS points, which means they're improving... a lot.
Also, predictions can start! All 60 teams, except for Arkansas, are on the wiki.

Re: Pennsylvania 2018
They did it for battery buggy at my regionals, so I don't know if it's impossible. They called the top 6 like this originally:EastStroudsburg13 wrote:Having been privy to the score validation process twice now, I can assure you that it is literally impossible for them to use a different order for the top 6 versus the rest of the teams.

1.Team A
2. Team B
3. Team C
4. Team D
5. Team E
6. Team F
But at the end redid it because they said they screwed up and called up:
1. Team F
2. Team E
3. Team D
4. Team C
5. Team B
6. Team A
But, that might just be how that regional was run.

Re: Pennsylvania 2018
None of that is possible, just look at the raw scores. Even if a negative sign or something was omitted, his/her score would be below the theoretical minimum score of -25.hippo9 wrote:They did it for battery buggy at my regionals, so I don't know if it's impossible.

Re: Pennsylvania 2018
What do you mean? If a negative was omitted the score would be positive. I was just sayin at my regional they flipped the top 6 around.shrewdPanther46 wrote:None of that is possible, just look at the raw scores.
