not everyone does...I havn't ever--partially because I happenen to live on the side of our district that has the middle school that does well but doesnt go to nats instead of the side of the district with the middle school that goes to nats

well I didn't mean everyone most people here did though!!!

well most people on scioly usually care more about SO than people that don't have an account, so it makes sense that alot of people on scioly have medaled at nationals.

but I still havent gone to nats and neither has my team!! we've never been to nats and we've placed in the top 10 for 2 years in a row

[EASTstroudsburg13]

Well, not everyone on here has even gone to nats. You may be surprised by how many people who haven't.

Yeah you wanna know what they should extend the ranking of the teams in states.

Instead of

First and Second make it to nationals

It should be

First,Second, and Third make it to nationals.

if any state deserves 3 its New York they have the most teams

I also bel;ieve more people at nats would make it more interesting

plus PA needs the top 3 to go to nats otherwise it will always be the same 2 teams!!!!
it would be like a bad sitcom

same thing goes for NY in B--C the 1st is usually the same but the 2nd changes

[49ers]

see what I mean, PA has been A bad sitcom for years now with the same 2 teams going to nats every year!! but the third place is normally a tight competition

That's not uncommon. I can't think of a time my team hasn't placed top ten at States, but we've only gone to Nats once. Ten years ago.

I'd like third to go to Nats just because I might be able to go My HS came in third. But that would be a disaster to schedule all those teams

The last two years, PA has sent different teams to Nationals from B division... Two years ago was Sewickley and BC, this year was Sewickley and Shady Side. Besides that which - it's not a bad sitcom, and it's not like it's unfair to the teams that don't make it - the teams they get to go don't have some magic secret, they just work harder and do well at States.

OT, yes, I have. woohoo! Being on stage to receive an award at nationals is a really awesome feeling.
