Aia, do you know when the state competition for the Washington Tournament is this year? I assume it's going to be held at EWU again, right?

Nope, it will be at Clark College, and will be on April 16th. http://washingtonscienceolympiad.com/tournaments.html

Hey is anyone doing meteorology? If so, any advice?

This would go best in the Meteorology thread. Also check the Meteorology Wiki

I have to rant. Don't link to the wiki- it will have little help or not at all. It depends on the wiki, but the MET wiki has about 1/25 of what you need to know, and ~1/8 of the wiki is sort-of good/useless/noexactlyundertherules info. No offence, but I do think people see the wiki before they decide to make a scioly account.

So... edit it and add the rest of what you need to know. You have a keyboard. Go do it.

Ask not what scioly can do for you, ask what you can do for scioly. And even so, the wiki is still a good starter resource that can help people branch off to more advanced stuff.

I'm just said the Wiki is semi-worthless, and my point was to stop linking it as people already know about it. I'll add to the Wiki if I have time/want to. Ok?

[zyzzyva980]

I wouldn't say the wiki is semi-worthless by a long shot. I get most of my notes directly from the wiki. Look where it got me. Frankly, I'm a bit offended because I know I've put some time into it and so have countless others- how do you think our wikimods feel about that? Some people don't know the wiki. I didn't when I joined. Besides, the wiki is the first place to look to start working on an event.
