Not sure what you mean...
Youd have to have rhe scores to know what I mean.
Are you talking about Kraemer Invitational?

My school got raw scores; and I have confirmation that at least one other school did too.

ChatChat wrote:For Kraemer Invite, the official scores are:
1. Jeffery Trail Blue (192)
2. Kraemer 1 (195)
3. Oak Valley DaVinci (215)
4. Carmel Valley Team 2 (217)
5. Kraemer 2 (247)
6. Jeffery Trail Orange (250)

The number in parentheses are the points each team scored... Technically I guess Kraemer and JT are tied because Kraemer's Varsity lost to JT's varsity by 3 points, but JT's JV lost to Kraemer's JV by 3 points.
Very close indeed, but JT's scrambler got 45th, and yet they still got 1st. (I heard they hit their egg on the first run)

WIDI was dumb, there was an 8 way tye and some huge mega tiebreaker, not sure what proctor was doing. Not in the event but classmates said that test was SUPER ez

That's similar to my situation. I was grading the road scholar tests and I had multiple large ties to break. Either most of the teams were really bad, or the test was too hard <--- which is good though. Most teams had like 5-15 points out of nearly 60, while a few outliers (big ones too) crushed everyone else. It became a real pain having to run through these massive ties, and decide who gets what place.
Problems are better pursued with General Electric GE90-115 engines.

2016 Nats:
Road Scholar:4th 8-)
Bottle Rockets: 9th
Meteorology: 11th
Gliders: 21st

The usual competitor -> test writer problem; every question is hard, and everyone does badly. You'll get better at creating a good spread of questions.

I have a question. Has the SoCal States Competition date been finalized?
