That sucks. We basically build the teams so that the A team has the best chance of going to States (we have 4 or 5 teams at regionals), and everyone else does it more for fun, but we also leave room for movement if you do well at regionals on a nonvarsity team. We still help the other teams and want them to do well.

And I hope WM goes to Nats, I'd love to come (I graduated, but Im not gonna let that stop me ).
It'd be nice for someone to overthrow FM. It was kinda funny, last year when they announced WM won second, we were ecstatic, screaming and jumping and hugging each other. When FM got first, they just knelt calmly for the picture, looking quite bored. I mean this in the spirit of friendly competition; someone needs to take em down a notch.

thats crazy considering despite having the best ppl on A team ur B team still gets like top 5... O_O lol the only problem with our school is that were so small.... we barely can get 2 full teams...
yea but i doubt FM is getting beat anytime soon...

I agree.. our school is so small, im surprised that we always do so well..I mean we only have like 500 kids, FM has such a larger selection of kids to chose from. I wish that FM wouldnt go to nationals this year so that other teams can have a chance.. NYS is so competitive.

The A team usually just looked at the B team as a nuisance, but this year the B team met almost as much as the A. They took that as a threat and subsequently looked at us as enemies. (and hey we tied for second, I'd call that a tremendous success considering)

I'd be overjoyed if they lost, a good number of the kids on the team, and one of the coaches need to show a little humility. The initial meeting was a showoff of all the things they had done well for the past 10 or so years.

So good luck to both of your schools.

Well, FM probably has about 1200 kids, not incredibly incredibly large (I'm not counting the freshman class because they usually go back to Division B), even so maybe 35 kids showed up at the initial meeting, with 30 trying out, so not as much interest as you would expect.

WOWWWW that is amazing considering how much they dominate every year... our school has only like 30 ppl in science olympiad and we dont do nearly as well...

RandomPerson52, I think your school is too competitive. They seem to be quite "butterfly-y" about competition, and I can't help but feel POed about it. I dislike how your school's A team views the B Team as enemies like that. You guys should work together in practices, not be enemies. I don't get how the coaches tolerate all this.

Ha, or not. Triton got, like, eleventh.

Community MS and possibly Montgomery MS from B division.

A WWP school (I forget if its N or S... one got first, one got third... I think) and possibly... Princeton HS?

Really? I was pretty sure one of the WWP schools got third and I just supposed Prince got second. Hmm... are you sure???
