Yay, I've been waiting for these...

I wonder why there are many more prizes for Division C than Division B. They should try to provide an equal opportunity for both divisions, even though Division is a bit (just a bit) harder, and has more high schoolers.

Because the scholarships are awarded by sponsors, and so reflect the sponsors' perceived benefits from their sponsorship. They are providing these more to Div C because they think that it will be more beneficial to the sponsoring institution (seeing as it's been this way for a long time and sponsorship continues to thrive, they're probably right).

When will this be up?

After my exam tomorrow. I think I'll do it outside of Google Forms this year so I can add more data validation.

Thanks, last season I had to message every submitted who listed schools more than the allowed number of times, so hopefully it will be better this time.

Quoting from the pdf: "Division B – Air Trajectory, Bottle Rocket, Bridge Building, Elastic Launched Glider, Experimental Design, Robo-Cross, Wheeled Vehicle, Write It Do It. Division C – Air Trajectory, Bridge Building, Bungee Drop, Experimental Design, Mission Possible, Scrambler, Wright Stuff, Write It Do It."
Interesting that they have Robo-Cross and Wheeled Vehicle in B and Bungee Drop, Mission Possible and Scrambler in C...

They probably just copy and pasted from earlier years when those events were still in rotation.

Homerooms posted. Anywhere from one to four teams are sharing a room, although they appear to be allocated based on the size of the rooms.

More importantly. You can earn a free tournament T-shirt if you get the high score on any of these games! Don't worry! It's toootally not something to make you distracted so you don't actually study your events. Right!

Wait don't you get a t-shirt for free anyways...?
