Thanks, Angela!

12 schools participating – good going!

Just wondering - who were the judges? Were the men’s judges scoring at
the standard BHS judging level, or were they following the practice of
the YMIH national and Wellington contests by judging everything 10
points more generously (so a 60 performance would be scored a 70, for
instance)? And were there any recommendations for wildcards?

Also, does anyone have the results from the Christchurch or Waikato
contests yet? I think Napier has their contest next weekend.

By the way, below are the results from the Wellington contests. All the
qualifying spots went to schools within 3 km of central Porirua (Aotea,
Tawa, Mana, Bishop Viard), except the spot for the much improved Queen
Margaret's College.

Cheers, David Brooks
