I was so surprised when I placed 5th, because we walked out of that room thinking we got rekt lol

rekt is the best word to describe it lol

I think everyone should not be literally asking Chalker for every single score available. You noscoped the guy, okay fine. If the nats people all decide to release it it's on them :P But honestly, it is not yo, and should not be, essential to see the scores for everything (even builds). Sure, some ...

First of all what comes with this is the danger of the bottle tipping over on its side/flipping over as it falls. If they were gonna go with thi...

Also, if you disagree with me on anything, please let me know. So for my events...

Props to Mr. Vorwald for running an awesome Fossils event this year! Very good length and reasonably challenging questions. Also, beautiful samples and great organization and timing. He and his team definitely knew what they were doing. I guess I'm just super happy about this because last year a lot...

Does anyone know Gary Vorwald and Alan Noland? They're in charge of the Fossils Nationals test. I looked up some of Mr. Vorwald's old tests, but the only one I could find was the NY Regionals Division B test.

It actually happened in 2013. Palo Alto upset the reigning state champs Mira Loma (NorCal) by 1 point.
