Second in the nation!










We are 2nd in the nation for Parliamentary Procedure over all, but we had the best team score for the exam (average 92%), the best chairperson (Tiffany Rogers) in the country and one of four perfect scores (Tiffany Rogers) on the exam.
Also, the way they decide who is first is that each judge gives points to each team and then based on those points rate each team as one, two, etc. When all the judges looked, Cassopolis and Arizona were tied. So the next thing they look at were the assigned points (I heard as many 750 points depending on how each team did) and again we were tied. Next they looked back at all the times the teams competed over the three days and compare those points. This amounts to thousands of points per team. We missed first place by 18 points.
Still, it is the first time Michigan has ever been to the final four, and second is the highest anyone in the state of Michigan has placed ever.
Cassopolis Rocks!
