Re: Musings on Test Length
Interesting discussion. A few points: 1. I signed on to search for thoughts on the (troubling) fact that events seem entirely "open note" this season. What's the point in building a binder or cheat sheet when teams are going to have phones, tablets, or other computers available for looking...

Re: Binders and Notesheets
I'm hijacking this topic because the title is ambiguous: how do you prune (let's say) hefty binders? Physics events don't need much volume, but taxonomy events do, and some supervisors pull obscure factoids that run beyond homemade materials and published ones such that you often have to draw from s...

Re: Illinois 2019
Looking at Div C, I am somewhat surprised to see Whitney Young and Walter Payton placed in single A. In that light, I think the top 4 teams for single A at State will be Whitney Young, Walter Payton, Warren Township, and Huntley, possibly in that order. After realizing that AA has 25 teams (I previ...

Re: Illinois 2019
Hamilton is one of several out-of-state teams that regularly travel here to find greater competition. You can find their Regional results publicly on Avogadro.

Re: Illinois 2019
The thing is that some of the regionals tests that we took were definitely not up to the par than at the state level, so the overly dominant results seen at some of the regionals may still be unrepresentative of how state will turn out. This is accurate. Our state is moving rapidly towards standard...

Re: Illinois 2019
Do we actually see that much fluctuation in rankings from December through April? I'm not suggesting that teams don't improve over time, but there aren't generally major ranking shake-ups during the height of the season. I've only personally seen an interesting case like this once (and this was many...

Re: Illinois 2019
You're underestimating Hinsdale. I did that last season, and it threw my predictions a bit. Go back and look at the Conant results again. They beat you by a more than 100pt margin

Re: Your Daily Random Comment
It's the middle of March, making this officially (I think) my latest check-in for any season ever. This post had no other purpose.
