History of Science C [Trial]
-The path of the Administrator is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.
-Nothing\'s gonna get deleted. We\'re gonna be like three little Fonzies here. And what\'s Fonzie like? Come on, what\'s Fonzie like?
-Cool?
-Correctamundo. And that\'s what we\'re gonna be. We\'re gonna be cool. Now, I\'m gonna count to three, and when I count three, you let go of your mouse, and back away from the keyboard. But when you do it, you do it cool. Ready? One... two... three.

Hey man, New York still has a lot of cool trials.paleonaps wrote:Now I wish I lived in Texas. This sounds really cool.
North Carolina never gets anything... This year our only trial is Sumo Bots cause our state doesn't want to have it count as a real event.

Re: History of Science C [Trial]
Anyone in TX had better support this event! I wanna see this one go nationwide. It's something different. Really...people tend to not care about Dalton or Curie or Tesla because they go on the backburner in science class and only get treatment in history until you hit Kepler.

Re: History of Science C [Trial]
State Directors are allowed quite a bit of leeway in regards to which events to run, including running a 'partial slate' of the events and adding trial / pilot events.paleonaps wrote: How is that allowed?

Re: History of Science C [Trial]
sounds like it could be extremely easy or extremely hard depending on if they get questions on the most famous scientists or really unheard of scientist... but i would try it if my state ever decided to do trial events...

Re: History of Science C [Trial]
I really wish this was a national event. I was worried it wouldn't be a Texas trial event again this year. It's an interesting event for me, but it's been really random this year. Most invitationals can have nearly anything on the test. Overall, it's a pretty fun event and here's a link to the rules if you guys are interested:

Also, it's an interesting event because you can't depend on resources and all info has to be memorized. It gives some people an advantage and while some people are at a disadvantage.
