Well, you can always use google site search, so the layout doesn't matter as much necessarily.

I personally think NOAA was much easier to find things on than NASA. But since there's a new website this year, it means that np team is going to have an advantage over the others (that is, if you look at the website ahead of time like everyone else) (wait...have they done this website before?).
But it does look harder to find things on.

No one in B division has done this website before, so everyone is on equal footing. Get that head start now.

I did, for two years. Won state both times. I love this event- it's definitely one of my favorite in B.

For me, the gap between Regionals and State is insane. My first year, we did so well at Regionals that we didn't practice as much when it came time for State.
...long story short, now we practice frequently.
Last year, we did better at Regionals AND State, even though the printer malfunctioned at State and we were held behind while they tried to fix it. We were the last team, and everyone else has already printed out their papers. I had another event across campus, so I was freaking out.
But as long as you go on the website and try to locate everything ahead of time, you'll do better than if you don't.
