And more hard-hitting analysis
Debaters from Bloomington and Sibley are climbing up the policy scoreboard, which is still dominated by Wayzata despite some partner shake-ups and a trip to the Iowa Caucus. The W.E. Lillo is historically a turning point in the MN policy season, and it will be an important chance for teams to jump up the scoreboard. The policy race is still wide open.
Robyn Sellman from Coon Rapids has pulled forward in the LD race by grabbing the top honors at her last two tournaments, but the Minneapple offers a chance for big gains from multiple debaters, so she'll have to fight hard to keep the top slot. The LD schools race remains intensely competitive.
In PF, Brian and Anthony from Eastview have broken into the Wildcat wall at the top of the scoreboard. From what I can tell the two schools have not yet attended the same tournament, but if both are present at Apple Valley then it might be a turning point in the PF race.
The Classic cup race is still taking shape, but it looks like Greta and Eric from Mounds Park Academy are going to be the team to beat. If Eagan takes the overall schools cup (as they are currently well-positioned to do), Eastview would be in a position to take home both the Public Forum and Classic school awards, which I'm sure would look rather prestigious sitting next to each other.
Good luck at Lillo, the Minneapple, White Bear Lake, and Champlin Park.

Question:
After the 3rd week, Haben and I were at 5 points and, after 4th and 5th, we are @ 6. How does that work, since we competed and broke to semis @ Coon Rapids, and then competed and placed in the top 8 @ Mankato/Austin?
Robyn has rocked the last 4 tournaments being champion, with 2 tournaments featuring elims.
Weronika,
You and Haben got entered as "Eagan GJ" at some tournaments and "Eagan JG" at others. I've been trying to catch these errors as I go along, but obviously some have slipped by me. It's corrected now.
The same thing had happened to Eagan MR, so I fixed that too while I was at it.
I actually plan on releasing my full data in the next week or so to give people a chance to proof it and check for errors like this. Thanks for checking up on me.
I figured it was something like that, Ryan. Thanks!
