What specific kind of data has the test been about for you guys at invitationals or regionals? Just wondering, because every test I've taken so far has been on the same thing.

I'm asking this for another member of my team that is competing in this at state, so-
What should we put on our webpage? All we do is just search using the google powered search in usgs.gov, so is there really a need for one?
any examples from past years?

Our topic this year was definitely a lot harder than our team expected. It was this whole bunch of stuff on usgs.org that our team couln't find. We ended up placing but it was hard.
