Abstract: In these notes we use the recently found relation between facets of tropical Grassmannians and generalizations of Feynman diagrams to compute all "biadjoint amplitudes" for $n=7$ and $k=3$. We also study scattering equations on $X(3,7)$, the configuration space of seven points on $mathbb{CP}^2$. We prove that the number of solutions is $1272$ in a two-step process. In the first step we obtain $1162$ explicit solutions to high precision using near-soft kinematics. In the second step we compute the matrix of $360imes360$ biadjoint amplitudes obtained by using the facets of $mTrop,G(3,7)$, subtract the result from using the $1162$ solutions and compute the rank of the resulting matrix. The rank turns out to be $110$, which proves that the number of solutions in addition to the $1162$ explicit ones is exactly $110$.
