Not sure. You could try to find a personal email address. Alternatively, you could try Facebook - I've done this on occasion. If you know someone personally who's involved with the tournament, that might be a good route. I assume you've already bumped the original email?

My understanding is that only a few people have access to the main email, but that they've been bumped in person so things should hopefully get resolved soon.
Div D! I really like chem, oceanography, and nail polish--not in that order.

Just an update, but yay we finally got our tests back! Several of the grades are quite a meme (so low lol), but overall, the MIT scioly experience was pretty good and fun!

Overall scores: https://app.avogadro.ws/invitational/mit-c/

In the folder with the exams and keys, the maximum score in each event is published (no distributions or other raw scores). Raw scores are hard to get in general, you have to have connections with the people who either have them or have access to them, and even so, they likely will not be willing to disclose them.

Not sure if anyone noticed, but MIT wrote on April Fools Day that they're running a Div A invy, and discontinuing their Div C tourney.

It is with great excitment that we announce the first year of our new Division A tournament. We are eager to begin blazing new paths in furthering science outreach and are ready to welcome elementary-school students onto our campus.

Naturally, this necessitates the discontinuation of our Division C tournament.

Pretty sure it's also an April Fools' Day joke--check the post date.

But if it were an April Fool's joke then why would there be so many details?

To convince people that it's not a joke.
