Picture This C

[nejanimb]

Picture This originally seemed like a crazy and horrible event, but once we started getting into it I realized that it actually does reward hard work and does force you to learn things (though... I can't say I feel like my incredible science dictionary skills will help me very much later in life...). I think people are getting too good at it though; it's time for it to go. I think a picture this-like event could/should become a staple of Olympiad... Science Word was really great (though I didn't think the old rules were perfect), or maybe even a charades-like version, and those three could rotate through.

I really hope PT isn't getting scrapped. I think Picture This is possibly the most fun event to practice at times and entertaining to watch.

Absolutely agree! I coached this event and our trio of girls (ages 13, 13, and 15 -- we're a young, brand new C team) worked hard and got gold at Regional and State and they had a great time and learned A LOT. So did I! From January on, they worked about 40 hours a month on this crazy event. We were hoping for at least one more year.

Well, our only hope is that the event comes back before these young ladies graduate because they want to compete just one more time!

I was thinking that I could put together a petition that Pic This fans could sign to keep Pic This for another year. If anyone has any ideas on how to do this, could you let me know?

Uh you could start a petition but the events have been decided.

Don't know what your petition would really accomplish aside from letting you know what other students really like this event.

They haven't posted the final list yet. The one on the national site is a tentative list only. It could still change.

Haha, the list may not be posted yet, but the events have been decided. Don't think that much is going to change from this point onward.

The committee meetings began on Sunday, I believe, and the tentative events list should come out in a week or two (If it's like last year). However the task won't be known until the rules come out.

Besides even if there was a petition on this site, there is no guarantee that anyone in a position to do anything about the event would see it nor make an effort to change the event.

I'll email the list of names to the national commitee. Do you want your screen name on the list or not?

Dang you really do want to keep this event.

To be perfectly honest I do not enjoy this event and would definitely not want my name on the list. Sorry pal, nothing personal.

Sumo bots? Really? How is this in inquiry event? If you can't tell I love this event too.
