With shorter rotations, you'll see more variety as a competitor. A student in Science Olympiad for three years is guaranteed to see both Rocks and Minerals as well as Fossils when they are on two-year rotations. Not suggesting this is the reason for the adjustment, but it sure supports the change.Destiny24 wrote:This is outrageous! For the past 13 years this geology rotation has been a THREE year thing, not TWO. Does anyone have any idea why NSO would change this just this year? Finish the three years for fossils!

Re: Events 2016-2017
Your reason seems the most reasonable to me, thank you for the suggestion. I was just extremely ticked since I've been expecting and preparing for a three year fossils commitment when it was introduced in 2015, but now I guess I'll just have to wait two years. Thanks again!bernard wrote:With shorter rotations, you'll see more variety as a competitor.

Try to be good lab assistants, put out decent undergrad research, host poorly run tournaments, and coach Div A, B, or C, but mostly feel bad.cemsc10 wrote:What are grads even supposed to do after graduation without scioly???

Sam - Your goal should be to inspire some hot headed high school kid to write Poorly Run Event Stories about you.
