Well, now we know. The teams numbered 50 and above, for both B and C, will be seated in the balcony. That's fine for some regions but schools from the strong regions will medal.
Yeah, they shouldn't have put some of the teams from stronger regions up there. For example, from Region 12, I can basically guarantee that Allendale, Grand Rapids Christian, and Plymouth Christian will all get medals, probably multiple medals.

Apparently it is 8.

I guess I'm both surprised and not surprised. States has always been 6 medals - then again, States had also always been 48 teams. It's always nice to have more awards, I guess :)

Yeah last year PA went from 5 to 6 and it felt pretty weird. I'm pretty sure the amount of teams didn't change though(it did change a few years ago, though), so it's not really the same.

I wish PA had done that, say, 4 years earlier. I'd have two more state medals. :cry:

Yeah... I haven't even gotten close to a state medal but am hoping to this year. One of my teammates, however, got 2 7th places last year. Bad timing I guess.

I think I'm going to try running RoboMarth's live spreadsheet at awards (not entirely sure how well the wifi will work). I will post the link here Saturday if I go through with it and it works. Not entirely sure when that would be, but I'm guessing around 6-ish, so keep checking back.
Edit: I only have a C spreadsheet set up, but if someone else (Unome?) wants to set up a B spreadsheet, I could try to do that as well (I guess then I'd be obligated to go through with this).

Edit Edit: actually, forget about it, I can put it together during 6th hour.

At registration last night, they said they were going to TRY to live stream the award ceremony on Facebook.

Good luck to everyone today.
