Oh, ok. That's a relief.

I will be uploading my powders flowchart to the wiki once the season is over. Everything there should be accurate, and it works with decent efficiency. Hopefully this will help some people out.

Hello, all! I did Crime Busters this year, and although I failed miserably, I have an idea of what that event is like. .-. What else is going to be added to that in this event?

I agree. Although there are no more metals or liquids, there are a lot of significantly different powders, plus mass spectra, and a lot of other physical evidence areas....

In terms of the familiarity with 75% of the information and time management, yes

Very very slight advantage...I did CB for 2 years then moved up to Forensics...they add a few tests that you can do on the powders (as you saw in the rules). The only real advantage is you know how to work in the forensic lab setting, how to not blow yourself up, and how to not get disqualified.

Yeah, I saw. I think that's good enough for me. xD I know all of those things.

I'd say that knowing how to work in the setting and time management is the best advantage there is...at State my partner and I were both inexperienced. We studied the material but since we hadn't worked in such a setting before we didn't finish.
