Re: Sad Nationals Is Over?
Yeah, that DQ. So basically I got lost on campus and came in as that supervisor was giving her instructions. So I had to talk to her assistant and he checked my kit for goggles, apron, etc....so I didn't hear everything she said, including "not removing your goggles unless you're in the hallway". When she was about to start the demonstration, I came over and started to defog my goggles. She DQed me on the spot. Luckily, my coach and I won the appeal...was removing my goggles onto my forehead in the aisle unsafe, we asked her? And I can't believe the people ruled in our favor .zyzzyva98 wrote:Yes, please explain.

Re: Sad Nationals Is Over?
Hey, the lady was mean. There was no reason for her to lash out at you and the coach the way she did. :[
But YES. It was a miracle that the appeal actually worked, especially since it was three hours later than the one-hour window that we're supposed to have. And at Nationals, no less. Monumental. xD
Actually, we still would have gotten in 3rd place overall even if you had been DQ'd.
It's great that you managed to stay calm afterwards, though. When I saw you at Elevated Bridge, you were even smiling at us.

Re: Sad Nationals Is Over?
Haha when I first started in 7th grade, I ended up doing 1 event: Fossils. I was good at it though and I managed 3rd at regionals (our A team got 1st). I didnt make it on the A team that year, but by next year, I was doing 4 events and I medalled in all of them at regionals. By 9th grade I was a captain. Funny how obsession just creeps up on ya =)junexia wrote:wow really? i cant imagine being in science olympiad and not being obsessed right away. although it does have its ups and downs, science olympiad is still the best. i guess i'll just start prepping for next year's eventspaleonaps95 wrote:I have been in SciO for three years, and this is the first it managed to completely consume my life.

I can't believe it's over for a whole year... But now that I'm super motivated for next year, it won't be too long before I start up the obsession again

Re: Sad Nationals Is Over?
Didn't go to nats...which was very upsetting, since we were really close...
Now I keep bugging my coach about getting the list,and she's getting annoyed.
Although she's going to Pheonix, so we get the rules early

OMG THAT LADY WAS A MAJOR BUTTERFLY! Me and my partner were almost shocked when she said that you were DQ'd. After I left CJAP and went to Eco, I was still thinking about that incident.poparteeb2 wrote:Hey! You did Can't Judge A Powder! And you got 3 places higher! Did you see me get disqualified?
I'm pleased to hear that your appeal worked out well! Congratulations on being one of the best people in Powders in the nation!
