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)

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.

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