How we did: Part 2

Elimination Rounds

While some of our teams continued to speak with visitors at their "Science Fair" booth, others were quietly pulled away to conduct their elimination presentation.

As teams took turns in the elimination rounds, our teams supported each other and discussed the competition around them from other schools, such as the University of Washington, University of Nebraska, Northeastern, and others.

The Results of Elimination Rounds

It turns out that Team Asclepius, with their TypeZero Diabetes monitoring application, had to enter the same elimination bracket as Team PocketDoc. This made for tense competition between two of our teams as both were fairly matched with respect to the completeness of their application. Both teams did incredibly well during their presentations and both received high marks from their judges. However, it was very clear that one of these teams would eliminate the other. Just at about lunch time we discovered that Team PocketDoc had eliminated Team Asclepius in their bracket.

Team 7 degrees was also eliminated during their preliminary round as the competition was intense. Team PocketDoc, however, had clearly made it into the top 3. PocketDoc and VCU had now earned another year's worth of respect just for placing in the top 3.
