Cornell Invitational (Division B and C)

[wzhang5460]

I would switch Springhouse and Gelinas since we beat them at LISO and at Rustin.

Uh they haven't faced SSA yet..

Oh derp true.

Ok, it's been a long day (and this old man needs his beauty rest)! But if you are saying we haven't faced Shady Side Academy (SSA?), we have... last year at Cornell. SSA - 2nd (103), Bay Academy - 5th (171). So here's my question, why is it that anyone who reads this knows my name and my school (which I couldn't be more proud of), while others sometimes post "unintentionally" inaccurate information at best, but not their names or schools? Any predictions on the responses I will receive?

Just curious, can you post your own predictions? Thanks!

Sorry if I was acting too arrogant in my posts before. Personally, I try making my predictions as intentionally accurate as possible - I got my predictions by giving every team an imaginary number that came from results in previous invitationals. I gave my team 100 points and tried to estimate where everyone else would be compared to us. I even took bombs to account, assuming most teams wouldn't bomb at cornell. I don't have the numbers now but I can tell you that 5th to about 11th were within 80 points, and at least 4 of them tied in my original predictions.

just sayin that ssa has been so consistent over the years and they've had their ups and downs, but they've been one of the top teams in PA since forever. i don't think that rising teams will be able to knock ssa back that much.
and bay academy is pretty darn close to the top tier nats teams, and they may break through to be one of the top teams within a few years, but idk if they have stability that teams like solon, community, gelinas, etc., have yet, only because of how new of a team they are.

Bay Academy just took 4th and 2nd (right behind Springhouse) at Harvard today and our "predicted" place for Cornell goes from 8th to 9th? I know anything is possible, but I think that crystal ball needs a little polishing

Solon, Beckendorff, us, Springhouse, Gelinas, Piedmont, Marie Murphy, and SSA are all top tier nats teams. The teams got 1st, 8th, 3rd, 5th, 11th, 6th, (missed nats cuz of roller bomb), and 13th. In addition, Bedford got 25th and Goff got 19th. You guys might beat one or two schools in the top 8, but I think the placement will range from 7th to 10th. (Dont take any of this personally lol)

And who says that Bay Academy can't reach those heights either? Remember that Springhouse just 3 years ago was in Bay Academy's shoes. Same with Beckendorff. So it's not crazy to think that Bay Academy can't upend a couple of those "top tier nats teams."

I wouldn't quite say that. 3 years ago, Springhouse was coming off of an 11th place finish at Nationals and one of the lowest scores in state history. I doubt Bay Academy will be upending anyone currently major, but I could see them beating e.g. Marie Murphy. I don't think they can challenge Piedmont, Gelinas, or Springhouse without getting lucky or improving drastically.

Why would Community be 7th?

Through my countless hours of analysis on Div B placings, I have concluded that Community will in fact be 7th place. Statistics don't lie.
