Also maybe because teams missed a judging assignment (i.e., the teacher wasn't present at the event to judge). Cardozo head coach had a personal matter for the day and only showed up before the awards, so he missed his Boom assignment. I am pretty sure they were supervised the whole way through.quizbowl wrote:Could someone explain why Chaminade, Camden, and Benjamin Cardozo received fifty point penalties? @BroNi the Science Guy?

Re: New York 2014
Life on the other side is actually oddly satisfying. Actions have a much larger impact and it's really easy to still be involved. Take off the stress of having to take tests all day long, and I'd argue that it's better than being a competitor. Plus, there's no limit on how long you can stay involved (bottleneck being your lifetime…lol)caseyotis wrote:D: D: D:quizbowl wrote:Yo, shouldn't you change your division to Grad?syo_astro wrote:States was very interesting I'll say.

NYC Regional actually certified the unsupervised room penalties, so he knows whereof he speaks.YUSO wrote:Also maybe because teams missed a judging assignment (i.e., the teacher wasn't present at the event to judge).

Re: New York 2014
I just want to reach out to the students in Ward Melville and Gelinas. I, and probably everyone else in this forum, have heard about the science olympiad- related scandals concerning your town. I know you're under a lot of pressure and scrutiny right now, and I'd just like to reach out to each and every one of you and give you a great big hug. You are all so strong, and I really do look up to youakk for your amazing results in tournaments. Even though we're technically competing, science olympiads have to stick together, and I'll be rooting for you guys at states, win or lose. Good luck fro, CP Weber!
I AM NEAP. YOU ARE NEAP. WE ARE ALL NEAP.
