1. Troy A (108)
2. Troy B (127)
3. Albany White (195)
4. Mountain View (258)
5. Camas (265)
6. Bayard Rustin (288)
7. Palo Alto Green (292)
8. Clark Black (299)
9. Brookwood A (340)
10. Monta Vista Purple (353)
I honestly had never heard of Albany before today, but they seem to have been on anupward swing at NorCal States recently, going from 13th to 5th, and now this. Camas and Clark are also especially strong this year (though we definitely knew the latter after their MIT results).

Re: Golden Gate Science Olympiad Invitational (C)
Im a little shocked at the excessively low Mira Loma scores. Even unstacked, I would have expected them to be contending with Troy for top places in each event, but it doesnt look to be the case.Unome wrote:1. Troy A (108)

Re: Golden Gate Science Olympiad Invitational (C)
Hi all!
Massive thanks to everyone who came to Berkeley to compete yesterday; we all had a blast and hope you did too!
Our undying gratitude belongs to our volunteers and events staff (some of whom flew in from Texas!) who kept the competition running as smooth as possible - they're a tournament director's dream.
As you have seen, results are up. Congratulations to Troy on a spectacular performance! We were deeply impressed by the level of competition they brought to the field.
Soon, we'll be sending out feedback forms for students and coaches to fill out. We do this so that we can improve our tournament for next year, meaning your feedback figures heavily into our planning process! Other questions, comments, and concerns can be directed to our inbox at [email protected].
Planning for our third annual invitational for the 2018-19 season will start soon. Maybe we'll finally be able to host a tournament at Stanford? Stay tuned for details!
Once more, on behalf of the entire GGSO team, thank you!

Re: Golden Gate Science Olympiad Invitational (C)
Albany did well at the Tracy Invitational also finishing third behind Monta Vista and Mountain View. As I recall they had one bad event or they would have had about the same score as the winning Mountain View team.Unome wrote:1. Troy A (108)

Re: Golden Gate Science Olympiad Invitational (C)
But if you look at Mira Loma's composite score between both teams, I think you'll find that they are still (probably) better than any other NorCal team. I would agree that the gap appears to be closer between Mira Loma and teams like Albany, Mountain View and Palo Alto.windu34 wrote:Im a little shocked at the excessively low Mira Loma scores.

Re: Golden Gate Science Olympiad Invitational (C)
What do you guys think happened with Mira Loma? I remember they had 3 teams at the ML tournament on the 6th of January. Are they hiding their talent / best builds?mnoga wrote:But if you look at Mira Loma's composite score between both teams, I think you'll find that they are still (probably) better than any other NorCal team.

Re: Golden Gate Science Olympiad Invitational (C)
No idea, I would find that to be an odd strategy as it would have you miss valuable time to test your builds, notes or partnerships. I have heard from some Mira Loma competitors that they lost a lot of key seniors last year, maybe they will have low year this year and then next year they will be competitive again.Rêveur wrote:What do you guys think happened with Mira Loma?

And you can bet all of the other three teams will be racing for the nationals spot while Mira Loma is down.Kyanite wrote:No idea, I would find that to be an odd strategy as it would have you miss valuable time to test your builds, notes or partnerships.
