Re: Almost....
Yes. Last year alone it happened five times to me, which averaged out to once per competition.

Re: Almost....
Yes, but it's not really worth caring about. You get the place you earn
2 years ago (7th grade) our TEAM was 1 point away from state
Last year (8th grade) I was one place from a Crime Busters medal, and our team was one point away from 4th place (rather than 5th) [we did qualify for state based on "wild card" though]
And of course this year will probably be another hectic/surprising end to my Division B saga.

The ultimate question itself is unknown. Can anyone actually read this?

Re: Almost....
Almost got 5 golds at our invitational this year.
Took 2nd in Astronomy after a double tiebreaker (which I'm convinced was a coin flip as there was only one tiebreaker marked on the test
