No, I'm pretty sure it's Rivers and Lakes.

DP should be lakes and rivers or something similar.

Did you do division B or C.
Division B was ridiculously short (17ish questions) and too easy.

I was disappointed with the div. C test. It was also very short (25 questions) and was a station test scheduled for 40 minutes. It seemed like whoever wrote it didn't put much effort into the test. There were 5 questions on prairies, 10 questions on taiga, 5 questions on the nitrogen cycle, and 5 questions on ecological succession. People were expected to go very in-depth on most questions and were only supplied with a fifth of a page to write each question. Additionally, there was a very trivial section that asked you to match the common and scientific names of taiga animals. In general it seemed like whoever wrote the test didn't have a thorough understanding of ecology; most of the questions were either incredibly broad or surface-level simple answers. Gah, so frustrating.
When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of people: those who let it happen, those who make it happen, and those who wonder what happened.

That's strange, last year's event was very fair, in my opinion. Around 50 questions, all fill-in-the-blank, and a good amount of questions on Grasslands and Deserts, while still having many questions on just basic ecology, with a few tricky ones.
2009 events:
Fossils: 1st @ reg. 3rd @ states (stupid dinosaurs...) 5th @ nats.
Dynamic: 1st @ reg. 19thish @ states, 18th @ nats
Herpetology (NOT the study of herpes): NA
Enviro Chem: 39th @ states =(
Cell Bio: 9th @ reg. 18th @ nats
Remote: 6th @ states 3rd @ Nats
Ecology: 5th @ Nats
