If you were at Forestry, then we met indirectly (I was the guy supervising during all the time blocks). If you want, let me know what you thought of the test and I will pass it on the coach who made it.
I thought the test was really, really easy honestly. Some of the answers were dead givaways, and we had more time than we needed. The level of dificulty was lower than a Regional, which may make sense, due to the fact that it's still a few months before the NY Regional tournaments.
Also, it's sort of a lot of pressure when every other question is a tie breaker. Were a lot of ties broken at this event? I feel like the event was very close, like only a few questions and/or tie breakers separated the the winning teams. My partner and I were the fourth place team from Gelinas Varsity (#19), and two of my Forestry students placed sixth.
Is there an event spreadsheet or something from this tournament with the scores online?
Ok, in order of things I want to say:
1) My mom was working the nurse's office, so you also met her
2) There were only 2 or 3 ties that had to be broken...first place was a 73/80, second was a 71, third was a 60 something, and fourth was in the 50s
3) There is a spreadsheet with scores...I'd check the flash drive that was in your team's envelope with all your graded tests
I was the really short girl who happened to get a partner over six feet tall... Never mind me, I'm 4'11 and 1/2'' and very self concious about my height. We were the Gelinas team in the last timeslot, my partner was the light brown haired boy with the green eyes and the Gelinas SciO team's shirt who came in without me.
