Thanks All

Hi All, After being silent (but lurking...) for a few years, I'm writing to ask for help in supervising WICI at both Regional (mini format) and State (I hope satellite, but could be mini). I've played around in both FreeCAD and OnShape and have discovered that I do not have a CAD mind. I have wasted...

I really don't expect virtual machine, object oriented programming, NP complete, or (gasp!) COBOL to show up.

A good tournament would not have PT sign in slots every 4 minutes! Maybe 10, but 12-15 is better. That allows the pair to come in, to ask any questions and get settled in.

Had to face this a few times. I have four kids that have done or are doing SO. Kid #1: Did C as 9th grader Kid #2: Did C as an 8th grader (with 5 events) Kid #3: Did C as an 8th grader (again, 5 events) Kid #4: Doing B as 9th grader A lot of the determinants are based on individual situations (make ...

Right, we've got a few old "Type 2" glasses in our team box that just don't get used. Don't know where they came from... seems like it makes sense to just buy B's and C's and then tell the kids that anything is an A.

Makes more sense than the old system...

Not that you planned it this way, but it could be understood as...

A = average eye protection
B = blastworthy eye protection
C = chemical eye protection
