[smayya337]

Coronavirus Status (last updated 3/8): According to the state director, "[VASO's] intention is to be guided by UVA policies" regarding the state tournament. No changes to the planned event have been made so far.

Invitationals
Lake Braddock SS (Div. B only): 12/14/2019
Fairfax HS (Div. C only): 1/11/2020

Notes
- The Virginia Tech and Charlottesville regionals allow teams to compete in two optional events: Elastic Launch Glider (Div. B) and Wright Stuff (Div. C).
- The Virginia Tech regional will be run by VT students, and teams will not have to write/run an event or supply volunteers.
- Experimental Design, Road Scholar, and Water Quality (in Div. B) and Experimental Design, Geologic Mapping, and Water Quality (in Div. C) are states only events.
- Virginia will not run Game On B. Instead, a VASO Div. B version of Codebusters will be run in its place.

Here's to a great season!

Interesting how you have Frost at 5th for states. I haven't been watching them too closely, but I do remember beating them quite well at regionals a couple years ago. Looks like they've been on the up and up.

also regionals is next Saturday eek

I feel like Cooper could overthrow Longfellow this year.

[MacintoshJosh]

My predictions for States:

Division B:
1. Longfellow (It will be close though, Cooper could definitely overthrow Longfellow this year)
2. Cooper
3. Luther Jackson
4. Frost (Based on my experience this year, Frost is definitely much stronger)
5. J. Michael Lunsford
6. Lake Braddock (After a chaotic 2017-18 season, LB is rebuilding)
7. Churchill Road
8. Spring Hill
9. Louise Archer
10. Colvin Run

Division C
1. TJHSST
2. Langley
3. Lake Braddock (Yes, I know it looks bias, but LB beat a stacked Fairfax team at Duke and we didn't have a full team at Fairfax)
4. Fairfax (Fairfax seems much weaker, performing pretty poorly at Duke and MIT)
5. Woodson (Strong this year, but I don't think it's strong enough to beat Fairfax or LB...maybe though)
6. Potomac Falls (5th to 6th place points will have a massive drop)
7. Blacksburg
8. Robinson
9. McLean
10. James Madison

Thoughts?
