The Regionals for this test was screwed up. We got almost the whole thing wrong but we got 3rd because we did the summary portion

yeah... the regionals we did relativley well (we got fifth)...but in CJAP we had to tell the guy not to give us the observation sheet with the test (you would understand why if you did CJAP), the chick helping tried to disqualify us for imaginary parts in our kit that where illegal...and then they let some random mom come in and start taking pictures (not allowed) WITH THE FLASH ON (definetely not allowed and v. distracting)... we got 7th in that, so it wasnt that bad, but still...grrr...

I actually asked the team next to us for help...They would have given it if they had known what they were doing. They were just mixing stuff in vials.

I'm pretty sure Crime Busters is a fixed event that doesn't rotate with anything. :)

I have no idea about the scenario. i didn't even read it. my partner does that. so im pretty much clueless about the house being bombed.

The 2011 National test was relatively easy compared to last year's. (Maybe that's just because I had more experience but it was considerably shorter). The analysis part was confusing. It didn't give much information, and asked for conclusions from basically nothing. The short answer questions asked for who made the tracks and the only information it gave is that a certain powder was found by the tracks. It didn't make sense at all so we skipped that part and ended up placing 8th.
