Thanks, Mr. Kline and Dominic!
I just want to note that there was no separate divisions for Novice and Varsity PFD and that Southside BN and our novice team Academic Magnet CC were initially registered in novice and broke in a collapsed division. Congrats to them both!

States was amazing….only wished they had panels in quarters (Our jusge was really angry there wasnt panels and competitors were scared) but oh well after writing cases 10 hours before the tourney and revising them and printing right before we left quarters is not a bad day’s work……and of course congrats to Graeme and Leigha
