When a team puts their best team possible

Finally, I was beginning to think I was the only one leaning Kennedy for first place. Of course, when Unome and I go out on the same limb, the chances may be greater it'll break.

Why do you think Kennedy will beat Community and Solon?

Put plain and simply: they're very good. I can't speak for Unome's reasoning, but Solon and Community don't really have to be at the top of their game to qualify for nationals; Kennedy does. Kennedy's invitational results have been stronger this year than last year across the board, and they're no longer a new team at nationals. The only indicator going against them right now is the distance they have to travel for nationals; everything else is pointing up for them.

Can you post the response spreadsheet, so that we can know who submitted what?

The latter half of that was quite a challenge this year.

These are quite interesting predictions. Why do you think Kennedy is going to win? Why are Thomas Jefferson, FSA, and WAAS so high? And where are Bedford, Tower Heights, and Slauson?

Kennedy is just a hunch, I have no real reason to place the top 3 in any particular order. TJ's state score was extremely strong, and this is definitely one of FSA's strongest teams yet (just look at scores). WAAS had an impressive state score and historically NC teams haven't really been weaker in their first Nationals attendance. Tower Heights I just think isn't good enough to make it. Slauson... I probably should have put them in rather than WAAS but I'm not too confident in them. I felt like Bedford had a breakout tournament somewhere this year but I couldn't find it... where did they do particularly well?

Cornell, Rustin, or Garnet

Sacred heart they won but it was a really small invitational

Sacred heart was a joke. We didn't do that well at garnet, but we weren't stacked there. Cornell, rustin, and maybe LISO I would say were really good performances this year. Not to mention that we got an all time low of 49 points at our states.

Can you post a spreadsheet or something with the responses. maybe average out all of the team's scores and the teams that didn't get top 10 in some of responses just get an 11th place in the responses that didn't have them in the top 10 for the averaging.

Wait Raymond Park exists... how have they been doing? I remember they had a strong score at state.
