Would anyone like to share the winning B or C Boom scores at nationals? What scores did it take to at least place?

4th in C had a score in the mid 1500's. I would expect B to be about the same as C last year.

Cause Blooey sleeps too much, I'll just pipe in that MV's 6th place Div C was 1469. The margins were probably pretty close around there.

That gap is really interesting, I'm not sure why it'd be there. Was there any significant design differences between 2nd and 3rd? I've seen all kinds of booms, and they can all score in the 2000 range, it's just a matter of perfecting the design you have, so at a contest like nats I'd expect whatever design to be at its peak...
