There are only 15 teams at State this year.
Wow.
In case anyone didn't get the email, the teams are
Archbishop Hoban (Team Thomas) Notably, without J. Decker this year. Hum.
Centerville High School (Team Black)
Danville High School (Team Black)
Dayton Early College Academy (Team Red)
Georgetown Jr. Sr. High School (Team Black) Also from Scioto. :)
Indian Hill High School (Teams Black and White)
Jackson High School (Team Gold)
Marysville High School (Team Temporal)
Mother of Mercy High School (Team Vicimus)
OLIVIA DAVIDSON WASHINGTON (TEAM WASHINGTON) !!!
Pickerington Central High School (Team Tigers)
Reynoldsburg High School (Team S)
Upper Arlington High School (Team Marshall)
Westerville High School (Team Immortal)
Since there is an odd number of teams, Reynoldsburg or Pickerington will play both sides at the same time. There will be eight trials of non-eliminated teams during the first round (Thursday from 2-4), like this (just going in order, no predictions!):
Archbishop Hoban v. Centerville
Danville v. Dayton Early College Academy
Georgetown v. Indian Hill Black
Indian Hill White v. Jackson
Marysville v. Mother of Mercy
ODW v. Pickerington
Pickerington v. Reynoldsburg
Upper Arlington v. Westerville
Then in the second round (Thursday from 6-8), there will be four (or three) trials of non-eliminated teams, like this (pretending the first team listed in each match-up won):
Archbishop Hoban v. Danville
Georgetown v. Indian Hill White
Marysville v. ODW
Upper Arlington v. (randomly selected losing team)/(Pickerington, if they won both trials)
Trials of losing teams against losing teams would take place at the same time, of course.
Thus, the third round (Friday morning) would have only four teams. (Again, pretending the first listed team won.)
Archbishop Hoban v. Georgetown
Marysville v. Upper Arlington
As you can see, there can mathematically be only one trial on Friday. I wonder if that means that Ms. Natalie will move the final round to Friday afternoon. If so, we should stay and watch it: it'll be worthwhile!
So there you go. I'm excited about being in Ohio's top 15 teams, in case you can't tell. I guess this "mock trial club" model is actually pretty effective! ;)

P.S. Let me know (or just fix 'em) if any of the links don't work/go to the wrong place. I did this in kind of a hurry so that I can actually do what I'm supposed to be doing today! :)

Wow, with that math, there is very little chance I will miss my previously scheduled appointment on Saturday morning at 8:00. LOL
ReplyDeleteHave fun studying!

The link for Archbishop Hoban goes to the Blogger home page.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else think that the people in the Indian Hills pictures should perhaps... oh... at least appear to be happy? At least one in most pictures looks like the world is about to end.

Good point, Christian. Should be fixed now!
ReplyDeleteYep, it works now!

Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI just figured out why there are only 15 teams listed. According to the OCLRE Competition page, "Due to severe weather across Ohio on Friday, February 25th, regional make-up competitions have been scheduled at several locations through Friday, March 4, 2011. A complete list of teams advancing to the Mock Trial State Competition will be posted on Monday, March 7th."
Therefore, our data is insufficient and we should postpone any philosophical discussions about the advancing teams.

P. S.
ReplyDeleteSarah, you put so much work into the math-of-trials. I hope that it still works out to be done on Friday, though, because of my SAT.
Rats, Laura. Why do you have to be so observant?? :P
ReplyDeleteFortunately, I didn't put too much work into this...just kinda dashed it off. I guess I'll have to revise it on Monday! (It's kind of a bummer for the teams that don't know if they're going to state--not much time to just work on polishing.)
Has anyone heard the results of the make-up Regionals?
