Both suck, mystery architecture is better than both of them combined.

(hopefully not needed but /s)

ELG is king. (This is a proven fact)

not if your team literally never placed in that event because you do not have a gym that is high enough to be able to successfully make any runs, even though you made MANY attempts to ask everyone, including your neighboring high school, resulting in very short or even failed runs that never medals at competition. (hopefully we get a gym to practice at lol)

How much will the ornithology list be expected to change from this year's trial list to next years list?

How much will the ornithology list be expected to change from this year's trial list to next years list?

I'd estimate ~10% changes, that's usually the typical amount.

There will be an exception to the no internet rule for Astronomy that will occur for the 2020 competition year.

Any ideas on exceptions?

Depends on the quality of the test written. With a well written test covering concepts in depth, it shouldn't make much of a difference. For a poorly written test, everything can just be googled, not really testing skills.
Also it says the topics staying the same, huh.

How long will Geologic Mapping stay in? And will anything change with the event?

Geo Mapping Should be in for another year, The Geohazard risks will change focus though

As far as I can tell, that's the same list as 2011.

Does anybody know if fermi is being replaced by hydrogeology?
