Blowouts do happen more in Division B than C, though, so it'd be quite a feat for Troy to win by that much. I would predict them winning by about 30-35 points.

Re: Way Too Early Predictions
Apparently it was worse than usual? That's what I read, not sure whether it was all-around or a few bombs.windu34 wrote:How so?Unome wrote:Also note 2009 B, when Solon won by 105 points.

Re: Way Too Early Predictions
Their performance was worse than 2015, but there doesn't seem to be any correlation between their score at states and their performance at Nationals.Unome wrote:Apparently it was worse than usual?

Re: Way Too Early Predictions
I wouldn't say that Troy's performance foreshadowed their loss as much as Mira Loma's performance foreshadowed their win. They completely and utterly dominated.

Re: Way Too Early Predictions
Hmm, that's true. The 2014 score was with a 24-team field, but both 2015 and 2016 had 28-team fields, so they should have been at approximately the same level if going purely by states scores. Perhaps Troy going from 70 to 102 was indeed the better indicator.

Re: Way Too Early Predictions
I agree. Scioly Tournaments are very volatile.kenniky wrote:Maybe there is no indicator ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think part of why Mira Loma and Harriton succeeded is because neither of them had any bad events (the worst score between the two of them was 32). Troy had low scores in Wright Stuff (49) and WIDI (53), which are both events that can go very well or very poorly, regardless of preparation.

Re: Way Too Early Predictions
If there was no indicator, my computer rankings wouldn't have spit out Mira Loma at first place before nationals last year.
