But I think my coaches were talking to your coach about how other people were scoring and if others had egg problems. I think our team noticed some eggs in the box thing were cracked already. not totally sure on that though.
I actually think u were talking to Eagle Hills coach they are the other middle school in our district and the're egg broke in an odd way to. And we were trying to find other schools to appeal. We filled a joint appeal it didn't work though

Our team has 5 9th graders, 8 8th graders and 2 7th graders we go older its better for us(this 7th grade alternate broke Scrambler a week before competition-idiot-and that shows u why he's not on the team lol)

Did anyone know about Eagle Hill being good this year, or did they come from nowhere?

It's too bad our school doesn't have 9th graders, we could be even better...

Yeah i heard about that. We went early so we didn't have a problem but the our sister school (Murphy) went right after us and they broke the egg too. That's just outrageous, using eggs over. i mean, (not to be wasteful) that just isn't fair and pretty sad. I didn't think the economy is that bad.

They were second last year and they've been on the top 10 for a while

They've been good for a while, the Win Mid-State every year and go to nats a lot, they get depressed if they don't go to nats
I would know im on the sister middle school to them we get second every year at mid-state also i know some of them

I know and isn't it obvious that an egg would be weakend after it was run even if it didn't hit they wall--for those of using a hammer launcher it would shock the egg and weaken it also how long they were in the heat would affect it

OK, I wasn't sure. I guess I could have just checked the wiki though. :oops: How come the B final is so far after the C final?

Oh, I just saw a woman in a green shirt and assumed it was your school. Either way, reusing eggs is just not fair! Even though the economy is bad, and I don't want to be wasteful, they should not use the same eggs twice. Especially with how they could afford to give 6th place medals this year, but not buy a few extra eggs??

I ran Scambler once, at the E.L.I. regional last year. I used three eggs all day. If the egg is any good to begin with, it shouldn't deteriorate that much on an ordinary run. The bigger problem, to me, is that they counted eggs that broke before launch. I don't have B rules handy, but unless that situation were specifically addressed in the rules, I would be inclined to allow a team whose egg broke before launch to try again with another egg.
