Bored on the bus ride, just some feedback for my 5 events:

Boomilever (16th): Well run and they got all of the testing done really early in the time slot. Event supervisors were positive and contributed ideas to our boomi. Great experience, 10/10.

Gravity (2nd): Signed up for 11-12, got held back until almost 12:30... Everything else was smooth but they had 2 tracks, it should've ended so much more early. 7/10.

PPP (4th): Launchers are so sensitive and leaky, I had to continuously pump air while they stalled to wait for their timers to get ready. 35psi went nowhere, 42 pso hit the ceiling and broke my rocket :?: 2/10, like to see some improvement.

WIDI (6th): you couldn't see many of the structure (parts of the structure were hidden inside beads or inside coffee stirrers). You could tell the ESs took pride in their model and that they worked hard on it. 7/10.

Wright (9th): filled in for this event, supervisors were nice and accommodating. 9/10?

Overall (1st): Everything went smoothly until awards. Some places were a bit crowded (Aux Gym had 4 events running), but overall the environment was nice and accommodating. Awards started really late and most people left by then.7/10.

Top 10 for medals so I knew the placements of those, I got my boomi placement from the sheet they handed out in the test packet.

Events Review Before I Forget:
Anatomy and Physiology: Imo the test was decent. The supervising was how I expected it to be. Just overall good, but nothing special ( I haven't done A&P in a while tho). 7/10

Write It Do It: Actually pretty good. I thought the thing that we had to build was complicated enough, but not super hard. My only complaint was they let us out late and they didn't give all the doers all the materials to build the structure. 8/10

Water Quality: I think this was by far the easiest water quality test I've taken (including Div. B ones). The 3rd part was just reading graphs and the first part was basic ecology, not anything super special. I was kinda thrown into this event last minute and I could do those sections mostly fine. The second part got us because we didn't have ID (we were volunteered by others to do the event), so I can't really comment on that. Also, the person supervising the event didn't really know the tiebreakers or the test. I would hope that they would have taken more time to review and look over the test to proctor it properly. It wasn't a bad experience, but it definitely could've been improved. 4/10 (for quality, not proctoring as much)

Designer Genes: This test was quite hard ngl. Granted, I also volunteered for it in the morning and wasn't able to study much, but it was still incredibly hard for the other Staples team. Thus, I can't speak to the quality of the test, but the proctoring was great. The supervisor made sure that we knew how much time was left and gave clear instructions as to what we should do. 10/10 for proctoring, quality of test idk.

Overall: Most of the events were well run and it wasn't hard to find events. The awards ceremony was kind of ridiculous though. It was supposed to start at 5:30 iirc and actually started at 7. My school left and we were halfway home when the awards ceremony started. We get that grading is going to be tough and we shouldn't expect them to be super punctual, but asking us to wait 1 and a half hours extra is too much. I heard that the problem was that there wasn't enough graders, which if it was the case, that's kind of ridiculous. There were 72 Div. C teams and 40 Div. B teams. That's an invitational almost on the level of nats amount of teams. I would kinda expect that they would maybe bring in extra graders for each event being that so many teams were attending the invitational. So overall, if the amount of graders was the problem, I'm kinda dissapointed. If it was something like " Oh the scantron machine broke," then its okay, but I wouldn't tell everybody to stay in that case. That fix won't happen in several seconds. 5/10

Overall I think it was a great first experience in Div. C beside the award ceremony.

EDIT: should to shouldn't

I don't think he has full results. I know he has the spreadsheet (see the link above), but that only has the top 10 placements for each event and then the top teams. Once full results come out I'm sure someone will post them or make it in Unosmium.
