In short, it's the same as last year for SoCal.
And the year before that, and the year before that and the year before that.....

yes, it's true!
I'm on Churchill's team, and we beat them at state! We've always been just a few points away from winning state, and we've actually beaten them at regionals before. This year we beat them by 18 points at state, so we're going to nationals instead! (:
I was at the NorCal SO, with a high school (C division) but I saw a final score sheet that showed that Arden and Churchill actually tied when the score was rechecked. Somehow an early score sheet showed Arden being second tiered in something when in fact they were not. I think the team with the most gold medals wins if there is a tie, I guess Churchill got more golds then Arden? I believe there is some mechanism for two teams to go to Nats in a case where there is no clear winner, maybe we will see both Arden and Churchill at Nationals (the more the merrier)!
My brother JHS tied is 8th grade year and lost by 1 gold medal... closest the school ever got to nationals...

Generally, quintuple posts are frowned upon, so please try to keep it to one post if possible. If you want to add something, just edit your original post.

The scores posted online ->
http://www.norcalscienceolympiad.com/20 ... 0Sheet.pdf show Churchill winning by 18, but Arden has a 22nd in Battery Buggy and Bottle Rocket doesn't have any results entered (I dunno if they ran it or not).
that shows every team 1 in bottle rocket
The word is there was a problem with a launcher

Yeah, the launcher at state wouldn't launch our rocket, even though it was made from a 2L soda bottle, so they just didn't have Rockets count towards the total score. Also, Arden got second-tiered in Buggy, that's why they got 22nd.

Wyoming only sends on team since the population here is so small. Many other states send two though.
