Yeah, I watched last year's Nationals and this year's and I think last year's Awards Ceremony was better...

CenterVille Domination. o-o
165 points. Amazing. That's a 47 point margin of victory.
Like Solon's domination in B last year.
Then Grand Haven got 2nd by a margin of 56.

You can see a corrected results table at http://bit.ly/dqQkhf. I got rid of the trial events because I wasn't sure what order they were actually supposed to be in, but all of the non-trial events are corrected here.

The overall results are still correct, just that the events listed after P are a little screwed up. This mistake made results for Trajectory turn into results for WIDI and WIDI turn into Helicopter...etc.
oh i think i see.
how come on the div B sheet some teams got (-) and some got 61 (No Show)?

Centerville only had 5 double digit rankings. Wow. And yes, the awards ceremony was terrible...i really wish these speakers actually learned how to rattle off a list of winners...and Write It to do it? What the heck?

One thing i was thinking about was why do build its like trajectory, mission, it's about time, etc experience the following phenomenon?:

Schools like Centerville dont do so well, but other schools that aren't so well known and do as well as a team finish first. Not to discriminate...but what the heck?

The same "phenomenon" sort of happened in Kansas the last few years. California Trail was amazingly good at testing events, Oregon Trail (which is sort of well known, I guess) mostly dominated building events. Then CT had to go and do really well at everything this year, so that was the end of that. Both schools are changing from having 7-8-9 formats to 6-7-8, so it will be interesting to see if CT continues their dominance at the state level, having lost their freshmen. But back to the topic at hand (because only Kansans care about that sort of stuff), I think that it's probably better to work more on study and lab events than building events. There's more of them, so you fare better overall. That's probably why the schools that win do better in those events.

Also, good job Leawood on getting third in Trajectory.
