Auburn will have a team at Brookwood Invitational (Division C). I wonder who else is going...

I wonder too, but I don't have a team list. I'm guessing Brookwood, GSMST, Chattahoochee (that's me), Northview, Parkview, & Milton will be the main competition from Georgia (although you'll probably beat most of them).

Would not bank on Auburn's C team. I'll probably try to make Brookwood, if my schedule doesn't kill me first.

Have they gotten significantly worse from last year? 30th at Nationals is probably good enough to match Brookwood, GSMST, and Chattahoochee.

It's not so much that the team is worse as that Auburn's C team is always a struggle bus; people are just so much busier with AP and IB, and it's not quite as glorious as B. We're always about half-baked for Regionals, a tiny bit more prepared for States, and then Nats is pretty much a vacation. Some of it is because Alabama really just isn't all that competitive, but quite a bit of it is also that Auburn's C team just doesn't have the resources and organisation of their B teams. It's often a struggle to even get fifteen people on the team; last year, I think we had thirteen or fourteen actual members.

Hello so I'm not from Alabama or anything but how exactly does a team qualify to go to states. Also anyone have any tips or study guides or ways to help in general, my team is lazy and I am really desperate and all I want is to go to nationals before college so please someone help. :)

This isn't the place to post questions about that. Try making a topic in the General Chat forum, more people will reply there :D

This year they've actually got 4 people extra!! I think the amount of people will go up more as they get better at Nats (I have a feeling we might see them in the top 20-25 this year!!), and as more people who are interested in SO graduate AJHS.

Sorry for the double post!
Edit: I forgot about cifutielu's post. It's not a double post, yay!
