Also, those division B scores though
All the ones they didn't place in? Mostly builds, like usual. A long-standing pattern.

I wish our registrations in the state would go back up. I think that would make a 2 point loss, or having the lowest score in the history of Indiana Division B Science Olympiad for 5 minutes easier.
it sucks. In 2015, we placed second for the first time in a LONG time (like 13 years), and we thought we were going to nationals. But West Virginia started a SciOly program that year.More programs would definitely be good. But I think we might be a little saturated, i.e. the schools that are big enough to have problems probably do, so it's become a question of expanding to medium and smaller schools, who have an inherent disadvantage in an activity that needs at least 15 members. Indiana's also not a geographically large state (nor are the demographics growing that quickly), which is another reason registrations haven't increased much. We'll see what happens, but I don't know if we'll get that second nationals spot anytime soon.
