Like most teams that competed in multiple events, Team 11 improved from event to event. All teams and all regional events were evaluated - and your best was in SC (your third event). There were dramatic improvements in your average score (44 in NJ, 66 in MD, and 91 in SC). Your scoring variation (standard deviation) also reduced by 13 points over the 3 regionals - which means you are scoring more consistently too. The combination of high scores and scoring consistency is why you landed in the top 10. You will be a formidable competitor in Atlanta if the trend continues! Looking forward to competing with you. (Hopefully as an alliance partner, of course)
