Super stacked team
What would be the lower bound for the score at nationals by a Science Olympiad team that's able to have team members from any school that qualified?
Assume the stacked team obeys the 7 senior/5 ninth-grader limit, the members are just clones of the students so their respective teams don't get tanked from losing a member, and the team is just ranked without pushing other teams down, just like the way Japan's team is. Also assume that the team also can pull from as many coaches/resources it wants.

Honestly it would've been pretty interesting if someone on scioly did that. We did a stack like this with members from DMAH lol and we ended up getting 231 points

you should've given me mystery @lindsmaurer smh

276 is higher than the first place team's total points, though.John Richardsim wrote:Probably like 276 points, somewhere in that area.4Head wrote:What would be the lower bound for the score at nationals by a Science Olympiad team that's able to have team members from any school that qualified?

Re: Super stacked team
I mean, the absolute lower limit is 23, if everyone got 1st, but that's impossible so i'd say around 80? This is very, very theoretical, and if you got the best kids in the country, they'd probably all get 1st anyway.

Re: Super stacked team
If u get the best for every event, they prob still wouldn't get all first.CookiePie1 wrote:I mean, the absolute lower limit is 23, if everyone got 1st, but that's impossible so i'd say around 80?

bc like sometimes you just have a good or bad day or sometimes just a bad test can screw you over. Also it stipulated the people chosen are just a clone, so they're gonna compete with themself. Assuming they win just under half the time the scores now 35
Now also most of the time even if your the best in the event, you also need your partner(s) to perform. In this superteam you probably have good partners but probably not as good of a partner as you usually work with

Re: Super stacked team
No this is why I deleted my post. If you have the kids who got 1st in every event on the team you'd have more than 15 kids, right?Name wrote:If u get the best for every event, they prob still wouldn't get all first.CookiePie1 wrote:I mean, the absolute lower limit is 23, if everyone got 1st, but that's impossible so i'd say around 80?

Lmao tho we should try this out, make a giant google form and have people register by saying their grade level and event placements, see how it turns out.
