While that is a feasible prediction, you have to consider that Solon did not stack their teams, but Beckendorff did. In addition, Daniel Wright did not attend, so you have to consider them too.texas wrote:They got 1st at Wright State, which is basically the hardest, most competitive tournament after nats, so I'd say 1st at nats is a pretty good prediction.y1008083 wrote:Beckendorff that high?

Re: Way Too Early Predictions
Looking at the scores from Wright State, while Solon's B team might have beaten the A team in a few events, it's unlikely that they didn't make an attempt to stack as best they could (note Beckendorff's second team also beat their main team in a few events). Regarding Daniel Wright, all we have on them so far is a loss to Kennedy at Mira Loma. If they're at New Albany again, we should have some more info after this weekend (since Solon and Tower Heights usually attend as well).DankMemes wrote:While that is a feasible prediction, you have to consider that Solon did not stack their teams, but Beckendorff did.

Re: Way Too Early Predictions
Yeah, judging from the scores it's quite apparent that Solon stacked their teams for the tournament. Last year Solon brought 2 teams to regionals, so they might not be going to New Albany.Unome wrote:Looking at the scores from Wright State, while Solon's B team might have beaten the A team in a few events, it's unlikely that they didn't make an attempt to stack as best they could (note Beckendorff's second team also beat their main team in a few events).

Re: Way Too Early Predictions
This is mostly speculation but looking at last year's results it looks like there were some issues with their builds, notably Air Trajectory (26), Electric Vehicle (32) and Wright Stuff (28).John Richardsim wrote:Uh, as vague as it may sound, I'm guessing that they just collectively didn't do well enough.

does anyone know what happened?
Nothing in particular needs to "happen" for a historically strong team to miss nationals. Just gotta be less strong in a particular year than two other teams in your state (or three...).

Re: Way Too Early Predictions
This is, essentially my reasoning. However, regarding Daniel Wright, we also have their 7-point victory over Solon at the Solon Invitational. Is that enough to rank them above Solon? Maybe, I wouldn't blame you for doing so. But I'd like to see at least one more strong result from them.4Head wrote:Unome wrote:Looking at the scores from Wright State, while Solon's B team might have beaten the A team in a few events, it's unlikely that they didn't make an attempt to stack as best they could (note Beckendorff's second team also beat their main team in a few events).

Re: Way Too Early Predictions
50 points is probably an overstatement. It's honestly super unlikely that any team, even Troy, would finish THAT far ahead of the team below them.breakingankles wrote:I think as good as Mira Loma and Solon appear to be at times, Troy is absolutely dominant. I can't see a way any team overtakes them. I'd be surprised if they don't win nationals by at least 50 points.

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
Also note 2009 B, when Solon won by 105 points. I'm not willing to say much about Troy's chances until after state (which, I forgot to mention earlier, somewhat foreshadowed their loss at Nationals last year).kenniky wrote:Went back and looked at their medals, they didn't get a single gold... still won by so much wowEastStroudsburg13 wrote:Allow me to present Division C, four years agopikachu4919 wrote:
