Events 2016-2017

Is game on undergoing a significant rework? Seemed like there was a lot of disapproval this year due to subjectivity of the rules.

Is Microbes confirmed for 2016-17? They were talking about it in the SSSS forum and I was wondering if I missed something.

Microbes is effectively confirmed. Designer Genes, Cell Bio, and Microbes are on a rotation every two years I believe. It's been two years of Designer, then Cell Bio, so now we are at Microbes. Or am I mixing in Designer when that goes with Protein? Either way it's something like that and Microbes is coming in next year. It's also on list for SOSI as I recall among other things. Also there is http://scioly.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php? ... on#p255970.

Sorry I was unclear, I meant to ask about a change to the event itself, not a complete removal of the event

In general, we aren't going to talk about specific changes to events until SOSI in July.

Yes, hovercraft is replacing sounds of music for this upcoming season. I've heard that sounds is undergoing some change, which is why this rotation is happening. If it helps, Sounds of music will be a trial for the 2016-2017 season.

Is there any idea of what the event blocks will be like or is that not announced until later in the year? Do they usually change much from year to year?

The tentative schedule for the national tournament is announced in rulebooks which are available first the week of September. It is bound to have some changes with new events rotating in or being introduced.
