Who made it to Nationals :)?
Started by Hannah W. (Adelaide)Cow
The "adjustments" might be from other contestants who aren't allowed to go on the same level. For instance, Ashley M. made it to Nationals, but she's not allowed to compete in the same competition. Maybe once they make the adjustments, then other people are invited.

Why can't Ashley M. go?
2 Corinthians 5:17
Because her family helps put together each year's Bible Bee, and because of that she is in "Limited Eligibility" which allows her to compete at Locals and Nationals, but not in Semis or Finals. I think I'm getting that right….?

@Hannah: I've thought about that too, but I don't think that any of the Juniors ranking lower than 120 have been invited. Plus, I'm not even sure that Ashley made it after all, since the contestant ID that she gave us was in the 400s. I'm really confused…
Matthew Minica
Okay, so Headquarters sent out an email clarifying how we should say the references spanning multiple chapters - it's just what we were thinking. It's also on the FAQ page. I'm glad that's cleared up.
Cow
Oh, okay. Whatever…I guess I have no idea, then. :) Maybe there was a mistake at some Bee or something, and they decided to let other people in, JIC :)
Cow
But isn't Ashley a Senior?
Febah M.
Okay, so it's been like 9 days, but I wasn't able to post earlier. :/
I MADE IT!!!!!! ALL glory to God, I got third place in Juniors!! PTL!!! (But I have no idea how that happened)
Congratulations to all of you, whether you made it or not. You have won a far greater prize!
Everett C.
Congratulations! Were you in the junior semi-finals last year?
Jarrett
Good job! :D Hope to see you at Nationals
Jackson
Wow, great job! Happy studying! :)
Christine Daaé (Dani the Older)
Yay! I can't wait to see you!
Matthew Minica
I believe she is a Junior, unless I'm remembering incorrectly.

Uh…I can't find anyplace on biblebee.org that tells me who all made it. I'm hoping to go to Nationals, even though I'm not in BB, so I's like to know who from Memverse I'll be able to meet!
Hannah W. (Adelaide)
Congratulations :D! PTL :D!

Go to biblebee.org. Then there are four colorful buttons. Click on the one that's right besides "Local Scores Posted" then it'll take you to a page and at the top it has lots of colorful tabs. Click on the one that says something about National Competitors. It takes you automatically to the senior page but if you scroll down just a little bit you will see where you can click to go to the junior and primary pages. Hope that makes sense.

Nope, this page:
http://www.biblebee.org/_hostcp/nationalcompetitors_nat.php?y=2013

@Rachel: I think that for some reason that link does not work if you copy and paste it into your browser's link bar. You have to get there by going to the home page, then clicking on the green tab saying "2013 Nationals - Everyone's Invited". Then on that page, there is a yellowish-brown button saying "National Competitors". That tab will take you to the correct page.
Matthew Minica
Oh, BTW, Abi, there is a list of Memverse National qualifiers on page 10 of this topic if you're interested in the ones from Memverse especially.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Really? It worked for me, when I just now copied and pasted it…
Matthew Minica
Okay, well, somebody told me that it didn't work for them. Whatever works for Abi, I guess. :)
2 Corinthians 5:17
Alright. How's your studying going?
Matthew Minica
Not much really changed since last night, :) but it's going well. I'm working on finishing up Romans 4:13-5:8. I haven't done my Sword Study yet today - I guess I probably need to do that soon.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Your Sword Study? Reviewing 1 John? :)
Matthew Minica
I call my Ephesians study my Sword Study, though I suppose since the name is copyrighted I technically shouldn't do that. :P
2 Corinthians 5:17
Oh, okay.
Random Narnian Warrior (Tarva/Abi)
Okay, I found the page. Thanks so much, guys! I realy hope to be able to go and meet a bunch of Memversians/Memversers there, which would be totally awesome! (squeals)

Abi - did you make it?
Random Narnian Warrior (Tarva/Abi)
I'm not in BB. :-( But hopefully I'll be able to go to TN and meet everybody who made it, somehow!
2 Corinthians 5:17
Even though I didn't qualify, I might be there! Not positive, but maybe =D
Catherine
I did qualify……and by the way, I made it 1st to go to nationals! Even though I didn't study very hard.
2 Corinthians 5:17
You placed 1st in the nation, or at Locals?? I placed 1st at Local too :)
Jarrett
She made it 1st National!
2 Corinthians 5:17
WOW! That's great!!! :D
Everett C.
She went to our local bee.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Neat! How many contestants were at your bee? And how many qualified? :)
Everett C.
I think there were about 40-50 contestants who competed. 8 of them qualified for nationals.
2 Corinthians 5:17
That's great!
Jarrett
IKR!
2 Corinthians 5:17
I wonder which bee had the most qualifiers…our 1st placing Primary made it, but not sure if she's going or not. We had 21 contestants
Jarrett
I dunno….
2 Corinthians 5:17
Maybe the Davis's bee??
Jarrett
Maybe…
2 Corinthians 5:17
I know quite a few contestants made it from there….
2 Corinthians 5:17
Now this is odd…someone who placed 63 in the Seniors, I searched to see if their city/state was on the qualifiers list…and it isn't. Huh. Anyone know why??
Matthew Minica
@Rachel - There were 15 dropout Seniors this year, and that person must have been one of them. The deadline for signup was Wednesday, and after that they removed the qualifiers who were not signed up from the list.
Margaret Eddy
I placed 63! Now you have me worried.
Jedidiah Diligence Breckinridge III
You're on there…I already checked.
Matthew Minica
@margaret - I think you tied with another who placed 63 but decided not to go. I believe it was Esther Olson.
