Re: Pennsylvania 2015
Interesting trend in C: This is the third time in the last four years that the third-place team at the SEPA Regional has qualified for nationals.

Re: Pennsylvania 2015
It really was a great competition this year! Congrats to Springhouse and Shady Side for moving on to Nationals.
Sadly this was my last year because my school has no division C team. But it's been a great run and competing with you all has been a pleasure. I hope however to see many of you at other competitions like TSA in the future. And good luck to everyone in the years to come!

Re: Pennsylvania 2015
Definitely look into it! There are probably other Division B grads who would be interested :D1nxtmonster wrote:Maybebernard wrote:Is it possible for you to start a Division C team at your school?1nxtmonster wrote:It really was a great competition this year!

Re: Pennsylvania 2015
They key would be getting someone willing to act as an advisor. If you can manage that, then much of the actual studying/building can be student-run if necessary. You wouldn't be likely to qualify for states in your first couple years, but you'd be setting the foundation for future success down the line!
EDIT: I will post the results of the prediction contest when I am not getting done homework at the last minute.

Re: Pennsylvania 2015
Agreed. We only have 1 advisor who signs our paperwork while the rest is entirely student-run, and we've had a fair amount of success over the years.EastStroudsburg13 wrote:They key would be getting someone willing to act as an advisor.

Re: Pennsylvania 2015
Here are the (long-awaited?) prediction results. Like last year, each person got 5 points for each team they got exactly right, 3 for each team for whom they were one place off, 2 for two places off, 1 for more places off, but they still included the team in the rankings, and 0 if the team did not finish in the top 10:
Division B:
1. AlphaTauri - 29 points (won tiebreaker)
2. finagle29 - 29
3. trentomology1999 - 27
4. UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F - 27
5. rockhound - 24
Division C:
1. frogzorz - 30
2. chemguy - 29
3. jonpao523 - 27
4. Algorhythmic - 27
5T. EastStroudsburg13 - 26
5T. ReBobville - 26 (we submitted the same tiebreaker score!)
Combined:
1. finagle29 - 53
2. EastStroudsburg13 - 50
3. rs11 - 45
4. rockhound - 45
5. ckssv07 - 41
