2009 National Tournament: Augusta State University

I think DC was a one-off, usually they try to avoid the coasts so they're not favoring one side over the other.

But the coasts are where the action is

Do you mean the coasts?

Well, last year, my team brought more alternates to Nationals than to States (our school play was the same weekend as States, so a lot of people couldn't go). A team from California probably couldn't have fielded 38 people cross-country, but since it was bus distance for us, we really piled on the "alternates". It was great for us, and a lot of fun, but definitely not fair (either competition-wise or experience-wise).

I wonder if they'll ever have a comp in MA, that could be cool. New York would be pretty awesome too.

that would be cool!!! There's actually a lot to do here.

There are also quite a few good colleges to host the tournament there.

I know! Who wouldn't want to go to a competition at MIT, Harvard, or even Tufts?

Harvard would be awesome!
Haha its a great school.. anyone know Phillips Academy??
That would also be a pretty good school if they didn't just do colleges.

[Pleiades]

Well i know of phillips but i've never been there. My friend applied there. Too bad they dont have a SO team.. they would probably dominate NH and then dominate nationals if NH decided to send a team.

Phillips is in Massachusetts....
Two people from our team got accepted into Phillips this year..
I am thinking about applying there for next year...
still got another year to go till high school

Plaedis..
what did you get for your speed on Physical Science Lab??
and are you a regular or alternate

[Pleiades]

Oh i thought you were talking about the Phillips in NH. I remember that our voltage on high was in the low 800s and on slow was in the high 300s. I'm a regular.

[redreading249]

Ohhh... i see
good job oh PSL..
my partner and I didn't get anything on low but got an amazing reading on high
what did you answer for the question about what gets more power...
im guessing you might have done a rainforest or mountain... but if one of those which?
my partner and I have been arguing about it
