New York 2016

I'd say that Chalker is completely on point - and I'd also add that many regional directors likely don't realize that the results are of interest to those outside of the region. The results are distributed to all of the teams that compete, and it probably doesn't even occur that there would be a demand for them.

And I'd guess that outside the fairly small active community that you find on this site, there probably isn't.

It is interesting that on the New York SciOly site only the NYC Metro results can be seen. I had to come here to get all the others

I don't think that's true. Bazinga+ posted earlier a bunch of them linked from newyorkscioly.org (the New York Scioly site). You can check them out under competition info and whatever division you are curious about. Even if they're not all there, certainly there's enough to make for conversation that the teams look interesting, with some usual similarity to the past few years.

On a side note, BroNi is helping me get some of the Nassau East scores he has updated, and I plan to get them onto the wiki for people to see who are curious. I will update when this happens.

It is odd that people associated with SO can't figure out how to post. After all, isn't SO all about problem solving?

Is there anyone from Mid-Hudson or Southern Tier who could post the results?

I think you are getting a little too crazy about this. Yes, SO is all about problem solving, and so is life in general. The problem is that problem solving requires time, a limited resource, especially when you consider the fact that these directors probably have families, jobs, and other priorities.

And not having scores from a regional competition posted publicly online is really not that odd. A number of state competitions don't have results online. Of the 15 regions in Michigan, I've only ever found results from 6 of them.

Agreed. If you think not having results from one regional is bad, the only ones we see on the GA forum are from those that Jaol, Unome, and I go to. We still have no idea who the top 3 at the most recent tournament were.

Not in the least. I am simply stating that it is odd that regions can't find ways to post the results. They can simply post them on the same web page they have been posting information about their upcoming tournament. Instead of saying upcoming they can say "Results". The spirit of SO was to in some ways mimic sport events. Can you imagine a meet where the running times were posted for the 3 fastest runners but nobody else. Imagine competing in a sectional without knowing half the top runner's times. Pretty hard to gauge strategy. That isn't the issue here. I find it curious that directors who can find ways to post all kinds of information about an upcoming competition is viewed by others as too incompetent to post results or too busy. You know what they say. The job ain't done until the paper work is complete.

I forgot to add this point. That there are worse states is not justification. It's about basic sportsmanship. If you have access to other region's results you share yours. Also, what I am asking isn't unreasonable. I don't see many people chiming in with agreement but I can see my request being one that becomes part of the official rules at some point. I see some people replying as if with indignation that I should point out something like this-as if it is malicious of me. I think it is simply basic. The results of each competition should be made public prior to any competition at the next level, state or national.

And how are you sure that regions who are not posting have access to the results we are posting? Not everyone knows about this forum.
