Re: Kansas 2011
I guess Indiana has more teams cause we get two seeds... that sucks though
On the other hand, in '09 when IN lost one of our seeds, the first person to drop out of nationals (i think the team from Va) gave the seed to IN... maybe it could happen for you guys???? Who knows... I think that it's really dumb that you guys only get one seed....

Re: Kansas 2011
I vote the Soinc people pick a wildcard team from one state to go to Nats. Draw a name from a hat; pick a team that went to states but not further. It would be cool, not practical though. :/
I offer my condolences to Z. Congrats on SoM though!

Re: Kansas 2011
Looking at the team numbers, Kansas was actually a bit down the list for the second bid.

Re: Kansas 2011
My brother (my DP partner, the one you were sitting by) is also planning to track you down with something, I think...? Not sure where he's getting that idea. ._.Frogger4907 wrote:HAHAHA thats funnnyyy

Re: Kansas 2011
What happens at state stays at state, but I am intrigued by this DyPlan discussion.

Re: Kansas 2011
Frogger sat right next to me in DyPlan, with my brother between us. We talked a bit before, during, and after the event. When we were going home, I decided to summarize state to my friends who wanted to know how it went by saying, "I won some pretty medals, fell in love, and watched someone get high off a Sharpie." I guess my brother instantly thought the second part (a bit of an exaggeration, anyway) was referring to Frogger...?zyzzyva98 wrote:What happens at state stays at state, but I am intrigued by this DyPlan discussion.

Sorry, you probably didn't want to hear that. I also heard him tell Dodge City to put one of our joke answers on the test.
