Re: 2011 HSNCT discussion
I can't believe at a national championship that NAQT has not banned pseudonyms (much less rotating pseudonyms) when it is so important to people to have accurate All-Star information. Just in case everyone here is not already aware, NSC does explicitly ban them. Learned this while brushing up on ru...

Re: 2011 HSNCT discussion
You may not think what you are doing is questioning the legitimacy of a title by throwing out a casual post questioning a key timing decision that affected the outcome of the match, but that's basically the logical implication of that post, and it's worse because it's not actually grounded in facts...

Re: 2011 HSNCT discussion
I see no way you can be certain, making this whole derail of the discussion of a quality national championship in a quality academic competition asinine. The 3.5 seconds is comparable to the Gorman-Dorman incident; that was my initial assertion. I apologize for wording things in a way that could be...

Some State College statistics since I hear Julie Gittings is retiring as coach after this season: since they first attended the HSNCT in 2000, SC has placed in the top 8 every year except 2002 (nine in a row, now), including top-3 finishes in six of the last seven.
