In two weeks UMich invite will take place with all the top Michigan teams. I think that should shed light on Michigan booms then. As of now I'd say that top Division C are around 1200 and B are around 1600Right now I've seen many teams trying to replicate Boomilever designs that our team uses, along with Stevenson, and New Trier. It's hilarious how they think copying our designs is all there is to it as they have been getting sub 400 scores while top teams in IL are maintaining 800+ scores. So far I'd say the average competitive boom score in IL is in the 700-1800 range. How are supercompetitive states like PA, OH, TX, CA, and MI looking score wise?
Interesting. So I'm not the only person struggling to get a Boom score above 1k? I think if any team reaches a score of 2k they could easily medal at Nats.In two weeks UMich invite will take place with all the top Michigan teams.

Reading your posts make me feel so much better. Our head coach claims that we need 2000 before our March 16th state tournament to do well.Interesting.

Given how boom works and seeing some top team Booms/mass I'd say the lightest boom will be around 7.5g with max load at Nats seeing how any lighter means having a lighter/weaker density wood which is rather risky.
2k is insane! As far as I'm aware of no one in the country has broken the 2k point in Div. C for Boom! It will require the perfect wood to result in a high enough efficiency.Reading your posts make me feel so much better.

For towers yes, you DO need 2000 at state to place well. But Boomilever is different; you have way more force on the parts of your Boomilever, resulting in more things that could go wrong.2k is insane!

Are you talking about div c or b, there are a couple teams over 2000 for div b right now so nats placement should be like 2300-2700Interesting.

At Conestoga Invitational top C score was 1300 and top 5 was around 1000Right now I've seen many teams trying to replicate Boomilever designs that our team uses, along with Stevenson.

Pretty sure booms this year will need over 1800 to place. Lots of teams are converging on the best traditional approach which would yield 2,000 if built perfectly. Boomilever is also costing lots of money this year since wood selection is so stringent, unfortunately. Given that 2014 rules had boomilevers that were 5 centimeters longer, I'm sure there will be a breakthrough around SOUP timing which will set the new "low bar" to about 1600-1700. Regionally, scores will definitely vary.
Predictions:
1. 2500
2. 2300
3. 2200
4. 2100
5 and 6. 1900-2100
*This is with regards to Division C*
I second this but I can attest to the fact that an improvement of 700 points is not far fetched as thought. I think boomliever has a plateau after which a higher score is physically impossible. Given my experience with boom and results from teams around the country, I'd say that a boomilever score of 2500 is the max possible for Div. C. at Nats this year if all conditions are optimal.Pretty sure booms this year will need over 1800 to place.

Wow earlier this year many people were saying that 1750+ would be insane. The highest right now i have heard of is 1850ish. Seeing someone improve 700 points to 2500 sounds real scary. I would think
1. 2250
2.2100
3.1950
4.1850
5.1800
6.1750
