Elevated Bridge B/C

[Pleiades]

Your team meets in the summer?? Last year my team didnt start meeting until like early october i think it was. I built two bridges right after the draft rules came out. Those bridges were made out of chopsticks so obvioulsy they wouldnt be competitive but i just wanted to build something to see what the event was like. I built one division C bridge and one division B bridge. What do you think is a good efficiency range is for this event?

That sounds so cool! A chopstick bridge... haha, where did you come up with all those chopsticks?

My team meets in about late July to distribute the proposed rules from the coaching clinic.

I have no idea what the efficiency ranges will end up being. I've never built a bridge before this...

Well theres a market basket in the next town over that gives out free chopsticks at the sushi bar so i just take those It just so happens that that is the town that wins states every single year but thats beside the point. Do you get the proposed rules for every single event? Are they usually the same as the final rules? I know that my coach is going to a thing in arizona where they supposedly get rules too.
