I was wondering, are we allowed to bring a binder? Even though its online? I have already started my binder, I wrote down some short information about each genus.
thanks again!

Yes, you can bring a binder even though it is online. It's highly recommended that you do so, though you should have a good understanding of all the topics as well since from what I've heard the tests online are ridiculously long. This is in order prevent cheaters looking stuff up on their phones from performing well.
Edits were for misspellings and clarity.

Reason: You had a bracket in your image that was preventing us from seeing it, but I've fixed it now :)

Looks like a crinoid. Just by doing an image search, I found that the same picture was here, so there's your answer for the genus.

Is anyone running into troubles with getting destroyed at competitions but feeling you did fairly well on the test? It's happened to me twice this year, and I can't seem to place it to specifically how I'm performing poorly.

I could be completely mistaken, but I would most likely attribute it to this being the third year of the event being in rotation, and as such competition is greater. For alot of people this is there 3rd year on the event, so especially at the top I'd imagine the competition is going to be tougher across the board. So I wouldn't chalk it up to you performing poorly, rather everyone's just better than in the past so minor things get magnified.

I could be completely wrong but that's how I'd interpret it.
