2017 County CDM Results

Below are the results for our participants in the 2017 County Consumer Decision Making Contests.

Everyone did very well, particularly on their reasons.  It was a tough competition and as can be seen below, there are a couple of ties.  We set aside 4 levels of tie breakers for Jr./Int. and Sr.  This was still not enough to break a tie in some cases.

We will post the scenarios with ranks and reasons as soon as we can.
