Results

The results of Houstonfest can be viewed in an Excel spreadsheet by clicking the link below.  When the spreadsheet opens on your computer, you will see four tabs across the bottom representing these four worksheets:

• Original 1-10:  The original, unaltered list of winners from Houstonfest.  This list will never be altered (unless errors are discovered), so that the original list of winners will always be available.

• Updated 1-10:  The current list of places 1-10, reflecting all drops and move-ups to date.  This spreadsheet will be updated daily between the date of Houstonfest and the date of State.  If State were held today, the students in slots 1-5 in each event would be the competitors.

• Sweepstakes Totals:  The original list of winners, resorted by school and showing each school's total sweepstakes points.

• School Codes:  A key to the four-letter school codes.

Tips for teachers:

• The spreadsheet can be a very flexible and useful tool for you.  You can save it to your computer and re-sort it in various ways.  For instance, because "School" is a separate column, you can re-sort the list by school and thereby group all of your winning students together.

• To simplify the process of monitoring changes to the state-qualifier list that affect your students, you can also view a daily log of changes.

• E-mail me (Rustin Buck) if you have any students who will not attend State so that I can drop them from the qualifier list and move up the next student.  Mary El-Beheri wants my finalized list turned in by Feb. x.
