6th graders are just as capable as 8th graders for most events, even Optics...and our state as a whole wasn't too hot in that event, in any case.

How would you like to have to compete on November 5 at the CyFalls Invitational? *shudder* We'd be creamed.

That is brutal, but hey, they only run it with 14 events. http://www.montana.edu/wwwmtso/10_c_scores.pdf Interesting how they mark attendance right there on the score sheet.

They also use backwards scoring. High score wins.
