State

Congrats everyone!

We didn't do very well but I had a lot of fun and I felt pretty good about how we did this year.

I wish we would have stuck around for more than 5 seconds... It would have been nice to say hi to some people from this board and see the afternoon games.

Looks like both of our teams will be half asleep for our first game tomorrow...

We have prom tonight so I have to wake up at about the same time

I'm glad the reason isn't because our school is too stingy to give us money though

District Results

I'd like to note that in Class 4 District 6 that the all-district scores appear to be in error.

The scores appear to only take into account tossups earned in the morning rounds but are divided by total games played.

Thus I should have 7.67 tpg, Megan from Kickapoo should have 10.67, etc.

I think you are confusing Smithville and Smithton. Smithton is a Class 2 school in Elsberry's district that made it to state last year but posted the lowest scores of any team at state I think. Smithville is a Class 3 school in Savvanah's district.

Most schools going to Reed's Spring probably weren't going to Rolla conflict or not.
