Hello! How can I join/contribute to the captain's exchange? Captains' Tryouts is run through Facebook by bernard. It'll happen during early Fall. Captains' Summer Exchange is run over the summer by a small group of captains (historically from Seven Lakes, Mason, and a few other schools) through Fac...

https://i.imgur.com/3jhHQpa.jpg ATX Science Olympiad is excited to announce our fifth annual invitational tournament on Saturday, October 26, 2019 ! Registration will open later in the summer. A few distinguishing features of our tournament we think you'll like: Stress-free scheduling: Like our pre...

Seven Lakes (1-1)
Everyone else (2-60)

I drank 6 cans of mountain dew and pepsi, not 6 of each, and am going to go for 7 this year. The night before nats last year I drank 30 cans of pepsi, as well as 10 shots of espresso a few hours before my first event. I think my heart skipped a few beats while I was winding rubber during wright stu...

reverse wrote:According to the 2019 webinar, the topic for Astronomy next year is going to be galaxies again since galaxies require background knowledge of all other subjects in astronomy. I don't know if they're going to go through with this though, any ideas?

It will almost certainly be galaxies again.

UT is hosting a coaches clinic right now - for those of you that can't make it, you can watch it livestreamed on our Youtube channel ! We'll be covering topics like resource procurement, study event resources, and build events - you can find our full schedule here . This event is aimed towards new t...

Will Ornithology be a binder event? In the previous rules competitors seem to have been allowed a published field guide. However, given the other events in the rotation and how it's switching in for Herp, can it be safely assumed that it will be a binder event? I'm not an official source, but odds ...

Just scored an 85% on the test. Really well written, thank you for sharing it! 85% would put you right around the top two teams - congrats! A special thanks to Adi1008 for making the test and posting them for us. had my state competition today. the questions were different, but the format and quest...

Hi all,

The UT Regional tests and keys have been released and can be found here! Hopefully these are able to help some of y'all with studying for state - it's looking to be another bloodbath : ' (

Edit: we've added the Herpetology test and key!

It's right there no, those are from UT invitational. he said he is writing the tests for their regionals for last weekend and will post them here, i am waiting for those. My bad, I mistakened regional for invitational. Hi everyone! All the tournaments that were using my test finished up this weeken...

Will fossils still likely be a Division C event for 2019-2020 and also will protein modeling continue as an event? If so when will the details come out for it? Fossils and Protein Modeling will both likely be events next year. Some details about all the events will leak/be released over the course ...

I wish people posted more in Awesomely Run Events Stories; in my opinion, positively reinforcing awesome event supervising is probably more useful than punishing people who are often just doing their best.

I think Solar System is a hard event to write a test for, especially when you don't have any experience in it. When I competed in Solar System, the first test I saw that wasn't very short/easy or off-topic was at Nationals, where the event supervisor, Dusty Schroeder, was pretty much an expert in t...

I've noticed that there seem to be two different equations used to calculate recessional velocity from redshift. The more commonly used one, v = Z*c, works fine for relatively close objects, but creates a problem for objects with redshifts > 1. The equation is problematic because it implies that we...

But, I see things related to eclipses on almost all SS tests, so I would study up on that. You should learn about liberation, tides, and resonance, even though it doesn't really say it in the rules. Every now and then I see things such as "What was 2007 OR10 nicknamed", but not that often...
