Re: Anyone medaled at Nats?
The BIG question is: If you give a state a 3rd team slot, which state are you going to take it away from. There are only soooo many slots available and that number is maxed out, unless you have an extra quarter mil or so in your pocket that you don't need!

Re: Anyone medaled at Nats?
well we are not taking it away from any state, and I believe with all the bail-outs the gov. is giving 1/4 mil is not much to them

Re: Anyone medaled at Nats?
I'm afraid there are only a limited number of slots. If you give one state another slot you MUST take one away from another state.49ers wrote:well we are not taking it away from any state
What does government bail-outs have to do with this. The National Science Olympiad tournment is privately funded. They get NOTHING in the way of government funding!49ers wrote:with all the bail-outs the gov. is giving 1/4 mil is not much to them

Re: Anyone medaled at Nats?
BECAUSE 50 TEAMS IS ENOUGH AND IT WOULDN'T BE FAIR TO GIVE 1 STATE 3 SLOTS AND NOT THE OTHER 49!49ers wrote:well ok but hat doesn't make sense that SO is not gov funded but OK

Re: Anyone medaled at Nats?
The number of teams a venue can support is limited by available facilities, housing, personnel, funding, time constraints and possibly many other reasons. ALL of these problems must be solved BEFORE they could consider adding slots.
Science Olympiad is a private corporation founded for the specific purpose of increasing interest in science & science education. They are not part of the school system or any other government entity. Why would anyone think they would be government funded?

Re: Anyone medaled at Nats?
youd been suggesting it by basically only making arguments for ohio, and pensylvainia.49ers wrote:I never saind not every state was going to get more slots and you dont have to be so rude about it
When a bunch of other states could make an argument too--NY, California etc.

Re: Anyone medaled at Nats?
because I thought that they were part of the school system
I never said any thing about not arguing for other states as you mentioned

Re: Anyone medaled at Nats?
most are, but SO is funded through a part of the budget that isn't state money, the rules for spending state given money are very specific.49ers wrote:because I thought that they were part of the school system
