i posted this already but i don't think it loaded.
underneath the "event" tab the scores changed but underneath every other tab there is no change... not sure why?

this might be a false alarm? it happens to not be popping up when opening the folder again.

I verified Springhouse is 72, SSA is 98, Bala is 156.; Looks like Bala's score has changed from 153 to 156.(changes in Herpetology and Solar)

and Springhouse was 72 from 73.

The scores for Optics appear to be more in line with the expected range as well. The only thing I see is that Good Hope is missing a rank for Thermodynamics, which if fixed could bring them down to 17th. Otherwise, I think I'm safe to start scoring the B prediction contest! Hershey replaces Abington Heights in the top 10, and unfortunately Park Forest moved up to 13th, ruining hopes of a S(multiples of)7reak.

In C Division, there are still some mismatched ranks and scores, and Garnet Valley is still missing a rank in Hovercraft, so I believe that is still being verified.

East, when is your national predictions coming?

It's on its way. I just have to take a longer look at all the data coming out of state tournaments to come up with something.

4. xandra - 36
5. Paypog - 34
6. kate! - 34
7. hippo9 - 34

Thanks to everyone who made this year a success! If you're curious where your score fell, just find me on IRC (or PM me if you wish). I would have liked to recognize more people, but this post would have been very long otherwise. Special congratulations to Jonboyage and xandra who I believe blew every other combined score out of the water this year, but I believe both set records for best combined score in the years I've done this. I generally consider a score of 40 to be exceptional, and so averaging 40 over two divisions is very impressive. In particular, Jonboyage got the entire top 5 of B division correct, and xandra did the hard part in C division by not just getting all 10 teams right, but getting teams 6-10 in the correct order! They were also the closest anyone has ever gotten in any of these years to a perfect 50. And finally, John Richardsim, antoine_ego, Pomegranate, and pb5754[] got the entire top 6 teams right in C division, so they also deserve special recognition.

Hahaha 8th place overall while spending a grand total of 15 minutes on this.
The power of guessing....

Boy, I must have failed...
