Daily Log of Changes to State-Qualifier List

After Houstonfest, some schools and individuals opt not to attend State for various reasons, although this should be rare in 2021 with contests being online. When this happens, the name of each entry that will not attend State is dropped from the state-qualifier list, and the next entry (from places 6-10) moves up. These changes are reflected in the results spreadsheet, but for the convenience of teachers who are watching for changes that affect their students, this page will also contain a log of the changes made each day.

Changs made February 13:

Affecting School:

Drop J. Smith (School) from Event, move up Sam Jones (School).
