The more times that a feature is asked about after the initial suggestion the lower the chance of the feature being implemented.

I personally would like to see a subforum where team results of invitationals (and maybe regionals and states) would be posted. Score tracker is ok, but it's mainly meant to keep track of individual raw scores of events. However, I don't know if there is a big enough demand for this type of information that it deserves a sub-forum.

Usually state, regional, or invitational websites display the results so having them here would be repetative. Sometimes results from a particular school are found under the school's wikipage and state results are under the state wikipage.

I think it would be handy. Georgia State does not post results online, and only a few of our regionals do.

Yeah, that would actually be a pretty good idea. It would be nice to have everything in one place.

It would be really cool to have a database to save all past released tournament results. I like to look back and analyze past scores. It would not necessarily be repetitive, for example Michigan posted their state results after the tournament in May, but the website is now under maintenance and the scores are no longer available. Additionally, they do not show any of their past years' results. Many invitationals I have attended and my regionals do not post their results online. People could also scan results from past tournaments that they may still have so historical records could be developed. Although some past results are available on the wiki, it is not quite practical to post results from every tournament including places for every team in every event on the wiki.

That'd be a perfect way to enhance the state wikis! They're pretty bare right now, and I'm trying to make them better, so I'll definitely look into posting tournament results on the state wikis next year. Of course, I won't be able to find every result for every competition in every state, but I'll try to do as much as I can, and hopefully other people will help by adding additional results to their respective state pages.

The Pennsylvania Wiki already has some of that, you can base things for other states off of that. Granted, it doesn't have the scores for every event, but it's more than most other wikis, and the links to the complete event tables are usually there.
