Overview

The USAD Nationals competition in 2024 was the first in six years of competition to again allow individual competitors; the most recent time prior to 2024 was the 2018 competition. The 2024 competition held a separate Division VI category for individuals only, with Honors, Scholastic, and Varsity students only competing amonst the other individuals within their GPA category.

Older Nationals competitions with individual competitors (2013-2018) used a system of awarding medals where the individual competitors counted as participants in Division I, II, or III instead (depending on enrollment). Awarding of subject medals would be determined from comparing the scores of individuals to the scores of the appropriate divisions' participants instead. Here is the explanation from Nationals/2014:

While individual competitors may qualify for medals, their awards will not impact the distribution of medals to students attending as part of regular full United States teams. For example, if an individual competitor qualifies for a gold medal in economics, he/she will receive one, but an additional gold medal will also be awarded to the top qualifying economics student from the regular United States teams. Individual competitors are not eligible for team awards.

Personally, I preferred this older system much more, as it provided an incentive to compete with the best teams in the nation directly. By delegating all individuals to a separate division, there is no real difference in scoring between attending the in-person event and participating in the online USADic competition of individuals only, except for the subjective events.

Here is my projection of what the 2024 Nationals competition results would have been if they had employed the older system;

All scores are from either individual competitors or Division I competitors. Scores from Divisions II-V are not present, but top scores from those divisions can be also accessed at Nationals/2024 or Nationals/2024/Top Scores.
