Chalker probably would've posted already if that was the case.

This may have your answer, although I’m on my phone now and can’t load it.
Edit: nevermind, that’s from 2014. I guess the Arkansas website is just old.

Hello! I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not the same person would be making the chem lab test for nationals from last year?

Can't you ask the nationals coordinators? They should know by now, since the state tournament was weeks ago.
They're horrible about responding to emails. I've tried asking them stuff but no response.

Edit: Confirmed that Little Rock Central won Arkansas C.

Trying to post this as widely as possible: we've revised the solar power rules to fix a few issues, primarily the scoring formula. Device specs haven't changed. The new rules are largely aligned with the Thermodynamics rules now. Check them out at: https://www.soinc.org/learn/trial-events

Has there been any information released regarding the event supervisors list, or will we have to wait until we get the tournament program at team registration?

Note: Not 100% sure about this.

I don't think the list of ESs typically gets released. Some are noted on the nationals website, but they aren't supposed to answer most questions anyway (unless you're graduating;)).

I think someone else noted some general ways to find out who they are. Even if the questions were very fair to ask (I'm not an ES, but a bunch asked me about whether calculators are allowed for Solar System...which at least doesn't ask what can be tested), ESs can't directly edit the website or make rules clarifications anyway...so that has to go through the system. So not really sure if it's worth worrying about.

The ES list has been publicly released prior to the tournament for the last two years. In 2016 it was posted by March (possibly earlier, I'm not certain) and last year it was released about a week prior to the tournament.
