We were always bad, but the year I went, we took back a right triangle shaped award for "Most Improved School".

I believe I was either 2nd or 3rd in state (FL, so that's kind of a handicap). Man that was a long time ago. 7th grade I think.

went to Nats in 8th grade, our state got 3rd.

Actually the best part was that they awarded the 3rd place trophies and medals to Illinois... then later in the evening they discovered an error had been made combining the team results and indiv results, and had to go to Illinois's hotel rooms, get the trophies/medals back, and then come give them to us. rock on.

I finished 6th in the region or state or whatever in this. Pretty cool though for an 8th grader, they had the top 10 on stage for 'elimination questions' with buzzers and all that. I remember my first match, girl jumps on the buzzer 15 seconds into the question, the dude stops reading, she starts crying, gets a huge ovation when I knock her out. I get knocked out 2 questions later, and dont get any applause outside of my team. Maybe I should have laughed at her on stage, huh?

Damn, that was a long time ago
