Invitational Results

So I heard that you guys only placed sixth — that's a big problem. Either I missed something or you guys didn't work as hard this year. Last year's team scored first and beat everyone else by a large margin, which makes this result quite disappointing. In addition, they had fewer resources than you guys, so there are no excuses for this result.

We're going to talk about this at our next meeting on the 21st.

4/17 Invitational Review Links

Here are the links for all the reviews! Make sure you know this information for Sunday! Try to get 1st place... last year's team got first, so let's continue the tradition. Don't let me down! (In addition, you have more resources than last year, so there are no excuses.)
