HSNCT 2010 Difficulty - Is my team crazy?
Posted: Wed May 21, 2014 3:02 pm
So, in preparing for HSNCT, I have been going over old HSNCT packets in practice with my team. Going over 2012 or 2013 questions, they will average a somewhat-respectable 350-400 points per 20 tossups heard.
Then I started reading packets from 2010 HSNCT. Suddenly, scores were more like 130-45 when splitting my A-team up. Even with the full A-team playing against a B/C team combo, scores were around 175-10 or so. Was that set noticeably more difficult, or is this some anomaly my team is having? They did better on ICT Div. II questions than on the 2010 HSNCT set.
Interestingly, 2010 was the only HSNCT since 2005 that I didn't attend....
